The Brothers King

Scott and Eric King, AKA The Brothers King, grew up on the mean streets of North Miami, the shadow of I-95 and the Golden Glades Interchange looming nearby. As youngsters, when not fighting relentlessly, they found common ground listening to the smooth, calming sounds of Megadeth, Metallica, and a whole array of hair-metal bands. It wasn’t until the mid-90s, when they started to realize there was something to all those folk records their dad owned. After playing together in numerous alternative bands that didn’t quite pan out, they decided that they would begin performing as a duo. At a Brothers King show, you’ll be regaled with songs about lizard mating rituals, incineration, demon storytellers, grandmothers with secret tattoos, occasional serious stuff, bellyflops, and much more. They blend their decades of eclectic musical tastes to create songs that often genre-hop, but are always rooted in their love of telling stories.

JAMIE GRANGER 

Jamie Granger is a singer-songwriter from South Florida. He was raised on the island of Montserrat and worked for a time on a cattle ranch in Montana. His debut album – recorded and produced in Nashville, TN, by Jack Shawde and Diane Ward – is a lyrical journey through museums, roadside motels, and the dreams of lost cowboys.

TOWERS OF BABEL

Towers of Babel is the Miami folk duo of Christa Gniadek and Jay (Joseph the Bear). The sound is built on two voices in close harmony, and an easy back-and-forth onstage that comes from years of writing and playing together. They started during the pandemic, not long after they met, playing songs together to get through a strange year. It grew from there into a band, a label (Maiden Brain Sound), and a growing catalog of original songs.

Admiral Radio, the award-winning folkgrass/Americana act from South Carolina, is the creative partnership of Coty Hoover and Becca Smith. Named after their old wooden radio, this husband-and-wife team blends heartfelt harmonies, storytelling, and raw sincerity. Having met while waiting tables in South Carolina’s Lowcountry, their sound is straightforward yet powerful—rooted in tight vocal interplay and finely picked acoustic instruments. Inspired by the everyday, their songs explore life lessons, the quiet hustle of ordinary life, and the dogged optimism that drives it all.

Simply put, Becca and Coty aim to leave listeners better than they found them. They have five independently produced albums under their belt, garnering critical acclaim and national radio play. For their next full-length album, the group has officially signed with Too Fine Records, the new label by Triple 8 Management (Sierra Ferrell, Kaitlin Butts, Madison Cunningham).

Known for their energetic and emotional live shows, Admiral Radio has shared stages with bluegrass legend Del McCoury, folkgrass icon Molly Tuttle, pop-rock sensation Judah & the Lion, and more. They have also earned first-place and finalist honors in prestigious songwriting competitions around the country, including Kerrville NewFolk, the MerleFest Band Competition, Cayamo Soundcheck, and the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Official Songwriter Showcase. With every mile down America’s backroads, Admiral Radio shares their interpretation of the folk legacy that feels both timeless and fresh.
