Andy BeckeyNashville, Tennesee USA

Although this midwestern punk-rocker may have moved to Nashville years ago, you won’t find him down on Broadway choking the life out of “classic” rock and country covers, and although he may be more Johnny Cash than Joey Ramone, you won’t find him on Music Row cranking out cookie-cutter bro-country bullshit. But if you wander into the right dirty dive bar on Friday night, you will get a taste of his brand of “Anarchana”.

With a blend of the dark and gritty songwriting influence of Tom Waits and a bluesy, psycho-billy barrage coming from his guitar, he will certainly entertain you with his twisted sense of humor, and he may even break your heart with some of the high and lonesome sound of a Gram Parsons.

Clint AlphinNashville, Tennesee

Born in the small town of Dunn, North Carolina, Clint Alphin always had a straight path to becoming a successful businessman. His family ran a second-generation meat and seafood distributing company, and it was assumed that he might someday take it over, or do something similar. Although his family are all musical, and he grew up singing and playing in church and at school, most people in Alphin’s community considered music to be a hobby, not a profession. “In that town, there aren’t a lot of models for how you can be a professional musician. The perception is that you’re either world famous, or you’re eating beanie weenies out of a can for your whole life”. For Alphin, making the choice to pursue music was a hard-fought personal battle, but one that he found to be deeply true to himself. His newest album, The End At The Beginning is streaming on all platforms and available for download now.
