ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Adeem the Artist
Adeem Maria (they/them/theirs) is an Americana artist from Knoxville, Tennessee. The singer songwriter has successfully blended their love of country music with a scruffy timbre and sense of humor to create a signature style that explores themes like gender and sexual identity within the coalescing subcultures they experienced growing up as a Queer, Christian musician in the South. Having released eight albums and being nominated for Emerging Act of the Year at the Americana Music Honors & Awards in 2023, Adeem is a rising star who hopes to “articulate a full scope of the country experience” and make room for the stories of southerners that feel estranged by the culture of country.
Dylan Earl
Originally from Lake Charles, Louisiana, but “naturalized by the Natural State” as a teenager, Dylan Earl (or “Dearl” as he’s come to be known) has been active in the Arkansas underground country scene for over a decade, first as a founding member of the alt-country band Swampbird and then as a solo performer and songwriter. Alongside his friends and contemporaries Willi Carlisle and Nick Shoulders, Dylan has been heavily involved in carving out space for socially conscious country music in the Midsouth region and beyond.
Ashtyn Barbaree
Ashtyn Barbaree is an internationally touring Americana singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Fayetteville, Arkansas. With her smokey, yet ethereal voice and soulful melodies, she has captivated audiences across the USA and Europe. Ashtyn’s music is characterized by her heartfelt and vulnerable songwriting style, which resonates deeply with listeners. She has been recognized for her talent and received accolades such as being an official nominee for the 2023 Arkansas Country Music Awards as Americana Artist of the Year. With her captivating performances and remarkable voice, Ashtyn Barbaree is an artist to watch in the Americana music scene.
