Hailing from the nutty north side of the culturally rich city of Flint, Michigan, USA, THOT SQUAD's unique musical style stands out from their peers.

America's most debaucherous rapper, Rob Apollo, is championing his own brand of mischievous alt-rap for the digital age. Hailing from Detroit but raised by the internet, Apollo's unique ability to bridge rap culture, internet humor, and inclusive politics has made him the torchbearer for progressive shenanigans. Sonically, Apollo's tracks are usually upbeat with hard- knocking 808s, often combining Detroit-trap drum patterns with dancy synth melodies. In March 2024, Apollo's provocative lyrics delivered him a #1 Charting TikTok song with his track "Seppuku", a devious and head-banging anthem about how broke people should jump off a bridge as penance. This viral moment exemplifies the captivating nature of Apollo's music; by combining outlandish references with hard bars and beats, Rob Apollo tracks have an addictive quality that leaves you wondering: 'did he really just say that?'.

The reason – you never know what to expect! Acoustic or electric, going from Al Green all the way to Warren Zevon! The band offers a different show every night and is constantly playing new material. They play familiar music in innovative ways and they are a band that's FUN to see.

For almost four decades XTC fans could only dream of witnessing the sensational XTC classic songbook played live. That dream has now become a reality. XTC’s legendary drummer Terry Chambers is back on the road with his band EXTC (named and approved by XTC frontman, Andy Partridge).

Emerging out of the post-punk and new-wave explosion of the late 70s XTC experienced global success touring with the likes of The Police and Talking Heads. The band put their hometown of Swindon UK on the map. They achieved huge success in North America and Japan. Sadly their legions of loyal fans would be left in limbo when in 1982 XTC stopped touring becoming a studio-based entity.Fast forward to 2017 Terry returned to the UK from Australia and reconnected with XTC bandmate Colin Moulding. The two would go on to collaborate on new venture TC&I releasing an EP and live album.

Sadly the project was short-lived with TC&I disbanding in early 2019. By now the flame inside Terry had been reignited. His time with TC&I made him realise he wanted to continue doing what he does best. His love and passion for playing music and performing live gave him the idea for his new project EXTC.

Born in early 2019 EXTC would set out to achieve its goals of performing to audiences who had waited so long to hear the EXTC back catalogue performed live only to be bought to a standstill in 2020 due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.Terry was keen to get on the road with EXTC with a tour of the United States scheduled for autumn 2020. Unfortunately this would be postponed due to covid restrictions still in place the tour being rescheduled for the following year.

The band eventually began gigging again in 2021 with sold-out dates around the UK. This would include the Isle of Wight Festival and gigs in Terry Chambers and XTC’s hometown of Swindon. The band would go on to do further successful tours of the United States and Canada with EXTC also heading to Japan in early 2023.EXTC has kept much of the original fan base from XTC’s glory days of the late 70s and early 80s as well as gaining a new following of fans in their own right. Enthusiastic fans have lapped up the chance to see Terry and EXTC perform all those classics live once more.Alongside Terry the EXTC line-up features frontman Steve Hampton (lead vocals & guitar – Joe Jackson, The Vapors and Dead Crow Road) and Terry Lines (bass & vocals – The Rams and Dead Crow Road).

Originally a four-piece EXTC band members have changed frequently over recent years. EXTC announced in November 2022 that they are now moving forward as a three-piece. Terry Steve and Terry will bring you the full EXTC experience with their mesmerising and engaging live performances as you relive the heyday of XTC. With new material already in the works EXTC is a band on an upward trajectory. With their popularity gaining momentum and international tour schedules increasing it is clear the sky is the limit for Terry Chambers and EXTC!

Nashville based soul artist Jeb Harrelson has found a way to fuse sounds of Soul, Rock and R&B. Music connects and he carries that into the center of his work, leaving both a euphoric and familiar presence. While he's independently released 12 songs in the last three years, he is working on a debut project right now. All of his music is recorded in house with his brother Hank as the audio engineer.

Being from Texarkana, Arkansas instilled a drive to hone in on his craft though the lack of music scene caused him to move where he could really express his artistic message which took him to Fayetteville, Arkansas. This is where he cut his teeth in the Northwest Arkansas music scene. Now living in Nashville since January 2020, Jed is independently touring the country with his band in a gold van called "The Loaf".

Born and raised in the Midwest, she calls Indianapolis her home. The haunting undertones of her vocals and the affliction in her delivery makes you believe in her pain. Coming out of addiction and starting her journey in recovery, Kara Cole gives credit to the music for saving her. It gave her a place to land and bleed out her feelings that she long ran from. Kara’s vocal are free and flowing and personal and emotional. You can't hear her thinking which is hard to find these days. There's an authentic pleading in her voice and her lyrics that work masterfully to glue her songs together with great production and players and a familiar quality to Kara's voice that is reminiscent of Emmylou Harris's Red Dirt Girl record yet is uniquely her own. She is excited to give you her heart and let you see inside her walls!
