Old Man Markley

An amalgam of LA’s finest punk bands and seasoned bluegrass musicians, Old Man Markley is creating music that defies boundaries and transcends genres. Founded in 2007 in the sunny San Fernando Valley, OMM cut its teeth playing countless jams of bluegrass standards and covers of distinctly un-bluegrass songs done bluegrass style. Soon, out of the chaos grew original material that combined everything the band loved about all the different styles of music the members grew up playing and writing. The band played its first official show in 2008 at a small bar called the Old Towne Pub in Pasadena.

An adept guitar, banjo and cow bell-ist James' sights his biggest influences as mountain singers such as Roscoe Holcomb, a distinct style which is evident in his own vocals, along with the classics like Bob Dylan, Nick Drake, or more recently Fleet Foxes.

Rose's Pawn Shop

It may come as a surprise to hear the foot-stomping strains of Appalachian bluegrass channeled through a rock band here in Los Angeles, but heartache, loss and regret have always been the cornerstones of great music and this city has its share. In a town better known for porn stars and face lifts, anything as authentic and heartfelt as Rose’s Pawn Shop, is a pleasant surprise. With an arsenal of banjos, guitars, mandolin, fiddle, pedal steel, upright bass, and thundering drums, their sound is a wholesome mishmash of creek mud, rusty nails and your mom’s cookin’.

Frontier Ruckus

Though Matthew Milia is technically a native to the vast and vaguely defined expanse known as Metro Detroit, he has somehow mythologized a residence of his own creation—a singular and dusky world called Orion Town. Amid a map where towns blur into each other by the dozen, Milia's geography survives as a connection of psychic landmarks, containers of boundless amounts of obsessive memory. And the memory is not even all his own—it begins with the Detroit of his mother's childhood, as exhibited in "Rosemont.
