Dusty Rhodes & The River Band

Dusty Rhodes & The River Band are set to explode.....They arrive to play Nashville Babylon directly after SXSW with a hotly tipped debut album, “First You Live”, produced by Isaiah “Ikey” Owens from Mars Volta. Taking their influences from The Band, Brian Wilson, Hank Williams, The Flying Burrito Brothers and The Flaming Lips this Orange County sextet will rip the roof right off The Luminaire!

Emit Bloch

Born on a cattle ranch in Utah and transplanted to Berkeley, California, Emit Bloch has a rich history to draw on when creating his distinct brand of avant-country music. With a unique guitar picking style and surreal electronic harmonica Emit Bloch fuses pioneer spirit , Woody Allen wit and California transcendentalism to create modern bluegrass and country music that still manages to retain the old time values of innovators like Jimmy Rodgers and Hank Williams.
