CT Kellar is a songwriting night owl who crafts most of his work in the small hours between 2 and 5 a.m. He’s a big fan of outsider art and open tunings and, when approaching words, prefers a collage-styled layering of lyrics. A song may take two minutes or two years to complete. Once finished, he records the tune into a small home recorder and moves on. He’s currently sitting on a backlog of more than 1,000 songs and, as he likes to say, he’s just getting started.

Little Things was formed by seasoned musicians to perform original and curated cover songs. They perform with joy and effervescence. Because they are in this to give back, a portion of their earnings will be distributed towards supporting charities.

Milk Man and the Big Band is one of the most unexpected acts to come along in ages. Led by singer-songwriter Dino “Milk Man” Nassios, the group is a 16-to-20-piece rock/pop unit, complete with brass and strings. The group has been wowing audiences in Knoxville, Tennessee, since 2021 with a brash and lovable style that doesn’t fit neatly into any category.
