Andrew Hoyt is a singer/songwriter born and raised in Des Moines IA, one of the most creative and culturally aware cities in the Midwest. His passion and drive demand that he is creative every single day, this gift he doesn’t keep to himself, but as a K‑5 vocal music teacher he is guiding and inspiring future generations.

Andrew believes that arts education of every kind is vital to a well rounded education. His favored instrument is the ukulele, specifically the Hawaiian KoAloha brand, the premiere ukulele manufacturer in the world who sponsors him by providing him with their first class instruments.

With other musicians and in classic studio settings Andrew records tracks that reflect his easy style and approachable personality. He is only too happy to give thanks and accolades to his musical inspirations including John Mayer, Jason Mraz, and James Taylor among others.

Recently signed to Indie label Golden Bear Records, home of The Well Pennies, he is tireless in his pursuit of creating a long lasting and sustainable music career both domestically and internationally. Keep your eyes on this emerging artist, there are many great things to come.

What if Woody Guthrie and Leon Redbone had a family, together, with kids named Tom Waits, JJ Cale, Dave Van Ronk, and Dean Moriarty? If this had happened, Wade D. Brown would have been the weird little neighbor kid that always hung out at their house.

Wade D. Brown grew up in small town rural Kansas and describes having a “dreamers disease” from a very young age. He quotes Kerouac, Woody Guthrie, and Emerson for developing his curiosity about being a “life long freedom seeker.” The notion of “self obtained freedom” is the central issue at the heart of Wade D. Brown’s music.

With primary influences from pre-war delta and ragtime blues, medicine show music, bluegrass, vaudeville, and country folk, Wade D. Brown’s unique phrasing and picking style presents the listener with a contrast of light and dark themes. Songs like Home Country Pie and Summer Bliss paint pictures of simple happiness, while songs such as Old Habits and Paper Cups evoke a sense of complex loneliness. Wade D. Brown says that his goal as a songwriter is to “use music rooted in traditional forms with a poetic lyric to create an original sound that challenges the listener emotionally and conceptually.”

Wade D. Brown is currently working on his 2nd album, “Domesticated Cowboys,” coming soon.

Tracer Heights is a power trio fusing rock, blues, and bluegrass with the spirit of psychedelic improvisational music.

Rex grew up in a small northwestern Missouri town. These roots can be found in his lyrics and songs that he writes. With his brother, Benny, they created Exit 13 Band. It began as a family garage band and has grown to play in the surrounding Kansas City area and Oklahoma. Rex was accepted to play the 20th Anniversary of the Woody Guthrie Festival in Okemah Ok., a song writers festival. Rex also performs solo playing his original music.
