LOW GAP

AUGUST 8

Low Gap is primed to take the Country Music world by storm. Brothers Gus and Phin Johnson are relatively young musicians but are already making an impact with their authentic writing and catchy tunes. With roots in Eastern Kentucky and Southeastern Ohio, Gus and Phin grew up listening to Bluegrass and Americana music. That—combined with Folk, Country, and Classic and Southern Rock—creates the unique tone that has become the duo’s signature sound. Gus wrote his first song at 13 years old, and only months later wrote “Mockingbird,” their biggest hit, which was ranked second on Grady Smith’s list of “non-hit singles” for 2022. The brothers backed the success of “Mockingbird” up with a self-titled album full of passion and relatability. In July of 2024, Low Gap was featured in Rolling Stone, Holler, and multiple other notable publications after releasing their single, “Waves,” which was written with the late great Keith Gattis. Low Gap is currently finishing up a 12-song album set to release in 2025.

THE TRUSTY HUCKSTERS

AUGUST 22

The Trusty Hucksters come from North Carolina, New England, Florida, the far reaches of the universe, and maybe…from under your bed. They slink out, they beam down, bringing you that tasty Tango from Tartarus, that Swing Jazz from Alcatraz, and that Mambo from below. Toss in another dollar for Vaudeville from the hills and a Rock and Roll Rigamarole you won’t find at the local market.
