FLAMY GRANT

Award-winning and Billboard-charting artist Flamy Grant is a shame-slaying, hip-swaying, singing-songwriting drag queen from Asheville, North Carolina. Her 2024 record CHURCH hit # 8 on the iTunes Country charts and was named one of the Top Ten Best Queer Country Albums of 2024 by Rainbow Rodeo Magazine, while her 2022 debut record, Bible Belt Baby, reached the # 1 spot on the iTunes Christian Chart, was nominated for Best Pop Album at the San Diego Music Awards, and was also named one of the Top Ten Queer Country Albums of 2023 by Rainbow Rodeo Magazine.

She cracked the Billboard Christian digital sales charts at # 20 with her single “Good Day.” Flamy was a nominee for Artist of the Year at the 2025 International Folk Music Awards, and her solo cabaret show “Apocalypse WOW! won Fan Favorite at the 2025 Asheville Fringe Arts Festival. She is a winner of the 2023 Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Competition in addition to being a 2023 QueerX Award nominee for Best Drag Artist and a 2023 Queerty Award nominee for Drag Royalty.

She has been featured in Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, People, and more, and her music has over 1.2 million streams on digital platforms. A powerhouse vocalist and intrepid songwriter who blends country, folk, gospel, and roots music, Flamy delivers a theatrical, therapeutic, and wholly original storytelling experience, all shared through the evocative art of drag.

HEATHER MAE

Heather Mae isn’t just writing songs—she’s writing revolutions. A Nashville-based, award-winning artist-activist, Mae blends alt-rock grit, indie-pop hooks, and folk storytelling to create anthems of mental health, queer liberation, and radical joy. Her powerful live shows—part concert, part communal catharsis—are often described as “church without the religious trauma,” transforming any room into a space of healing and belonging.

In 2025, Mae will release WHAT THEY HID FROM ME (alternative) and kiss & tell (pop)—a genre-defying double album created entirely by women and nonbinary collaborators. Together, these records form a bold concept project: part reckoning, part rebellion. WHAT THEY HID FROM ME is a raw, unflinching rallying cry for those reclaiming their truth—exploring themes of religious trauma, survival, and identity. kiss & tell is its glittering counterpart: a celebration of queer joy, sensuality, and the freedom of living unapologetically.

Named Artist-Activist of the Year by the Northeast Regional Folk Alliance and winner of the Rocky Mountain Folks Fest Songwriter Showcase, Mae isn’t just imagining the future of social justice music—she’s leading it. Her work is defiant, hopeful, and utterly unignorable

EMPRIS AND THE GEMS

Empris & The Gems is a Baltimore-based band bringing a fresh perspective to indie rock with their self-described melodrama indie rock. Influenced by artists like The Killers, Young the Giant, Phoenix, and Wolf Alice, they craft songs that fuse driving rhythms, ambient textures, infectious melodies, and introspective lyrics that deeply resonate with listeners. Since forming in 2024 the band has quickly made their mark at venues like The Ottobar, Jammin Java, and Metro Gallery.

Their 2025 debut EP, Three of Swords is a collection that captures the band's raw emotion, sonic depth, and storytelling. The EP is a bold first statement -- weaving themes of heartbreak, healing, and self-empowerment into a moody, vibrant sonic palette.

THE MULLET OVERS

A brand new country bar band featuring mem. of The Barnyard Sharks and others!
