We know you’re going to love these phenomenal performers and their songs but we want you to get to know them a little better before you see them live!
Noelle McFarland
Listening to Noelle McFarland is like drinking a rich, warm latte with notes of James Bay and Maggie Rogers. The singer-songwriter’s soulful & dynamic vocals are combined with clever, personal lyrics, and her music reveals a childhood serenaded by classic rock, funk/soul, and singer-songwriter icons. With a lot to say and beautiful ways to say it, Noelle's songs have effortlessly captured the attention and the hearts of her audiences for over a decade. Based in Nashville, TN, the young musician hopes to utilize her musical gift to spread positivity and kindness.

Meg Rilley
Meg is a country southern rock artist living in Nashville, TN. Since moving from NJ to Nashville in 2015, her music has evolved and taken shape into what others describe as ‘swampy’.
Growing up on everything from blues, country and rock and roll, this music had been shaped by so many powerful artists and Meg hopes you like it.

Erin O’Dowd
Erin O’Dowd is a multifaceted singer-songwriter from Tulsa and Nashville. Her debut album OLD TOWN barreled onto the scene in 2018 to the hail of “Best New Music” by American Songwriter. That same year, she was invited to bill BMI’s Key West Songwriter’s Festival and Jim Lauderdale said he liked her album. In 2022, Erin O’Dowd was a top contestant in Audacy’s Opening Act Competition, and saw radio play building worldwide.
Erin has a crystal clear voice and a rare ethereal element that can quiet the loudest dive bar. She’s currently working on her followup album, a genre-bridging approach to American Roots Music, combining classic country, classic soul, psychedelic folk, and rock & roll.
