RED MCADAM
Although he was born in the industrial heart of New Jersey, Red’s mother Maggie made damn sure that he would be reared on Folk and Country music. She served up a steady diet of Country tunes from Karen Dalton to Patsy Cline to Dwight Yoakam on the kitchen radio day after day. Red’s father, a lifelong bass player, took it from there, teaching him banjo, bass, and guitar. Forever restless, Red ventured through dozens of genres before returning to his Country roots.
OLIVIA ELLEN LLOYD
Olivia Ellen Lloyd will try anything once. From flight attendant school in Dallas to producing theater in New York and teaching in Guatemala, Lloyd sought adventure but struggled to find a greater sense of purpose - until she found her way back to music. Channeling that restless spirit, she writes songs that pay homage to her Appalachian roots while charting fresh territory. Her debut album, Loose Cannon, has been streamed over 1 million times while Olivia has been crossing the country playing shows, winning songwriting contests (like Kerrville in 2023) and generally eating life down to the rind.
Heavily influenced by country, folk, and indie rock, Lloyd’s sound combines the rooted sounds of her traditional Appalachian upbringing with the fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants nature of her current life. She is inspired by the rich sounds of New York City, the peaceful quiet of her small hometown, and everything in between. For more information: www.olivialloydmusic.com.
