Jude Brothers (Insta | Bandcamp | Spotify)

Jude Brothers is a folk derived singer-songwriter from Arkansas, with a penchant for whimsy and tender heartedness. Brothers’ distinct writing style is marked by congenial contrasts: passionate & playful, calculated & relaxed, approachable & quirky.

Their lyrics communicate a simultaneous existential dread and intoxicating thrill of living and loving, a practice in raw and shameless vulnerability shared through song. All of this is transmitted through nimble vocal frolicking- a shapeshifter voice crawling, leaping, pirouetting through a mystical landscape of their own creation.

.....Let’s say you are in a forest, and you don’t know how you got there. A strong voice lilts from an autumnal quiet to a riveting loud stream to sing you the spell of their story. Is it a mockingbird? The spirit of an ash tree? A mischievous, but benevolent forest sprite?

Nay! Tis but your new friend, Jud. Or Jude. Or Judith. With harp, guitar, and sometimes tenor banjo in tow, this freaky little Ozark bard comes bearing gifts- songs from somewhere between the real and the ethereal landscapes of their life.

Hamilton Belk (Insta | Bandcamp | Spotify)

Hamilton Belk is a songwriter from midcoast Maine by way of North Carolina. His songs are slow-burning, humble affirmations that paradox is the only way forward, born on the shards of time between tours and recording sessions, wherein he’s been pedal steelin’ for bands like Dead Gowns, John Andrews and the Yawns, John Stirratt, Dylan Earl, Cut Worms, and Jeffrey Silverstein. Belk's influences draw from classic country crooners, folk-noir, 90s slacker rock, and the timeless, lonesome tears of the steel guitar.
