Justin Bloss is an alternative/folk/americana singer songwriter based out of Tulsa, OK. Drawing inspiration mostly from literature, his songs read as dark poetry often telling stories of war, drugs, and nature’s battle with humanity. A nearly twenty year career with limited releases, playing mostly small dives, 2024 has been a year of growth including multiple tours opening for John Moreland and American Aquarium, along with the release of an EP and full length album titled Claymore. A solo singer songwriter, devoted to the craft, refusing to leave anything unsaid.
Since 2003, singer/songwriter Matt Cox (Omaha, NE) has been recording and performing across the United States both as a solo artist, and with an ever-changing lineup of the area’s top talent. The Shenandoah, IA, native (childhood home of the Everly Brothers) blends traditions of country, rock, folk, blues, Tex-Mex, gospel and soul, with his signature road-worn vocals, guitar & harmonica.
