The Bands

Shameless James

Shameless James is an Athens, GA-based Jam Band made up by bassist Zac Connely, drummer Dallas Wiggins and singer/guitarists Canon Tyler, and Mackenzie Brown. Their music is a fresh blend of the elements of Jam heavyweights like Grateful Dead and Phish with the honest songwriting of modern Alt. Country icons like Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers and Jason Isbell. Performing in and around Atlanta and Athens since late 2016, Shameless James has won recognition among local colleges by putting on unforgettable performances at parties and bars. Their live performances are loud, energetic, and loads of fun! 

Alex Quiroz – The Lyrical Ace

Lyrical Ace, or in short ‘Ace’ hails from Buford, GA and has always loved music. For over 5 years he has been making music that can relate to everyone. He has one released one album and his second, The Ace Project, will release on October 15 on all music platforms.

James Worsham

James Worsham is a singer/songwroter raised inPlano, Texas — now residing in the heart of Gerogia. “Too Far GOne”, hs self-produced debut 3-song EP, draws from infuences like Johnney Cash, Tom Petty, and Bob Dylan, while maintaining a fresh, modern folk/country sound. What it lacks in length, the songs more than make up for in depth and authenticity. Dealing with issues like abuse of power and manipulation through different perspectives, the tracks are almost sure to strike a chord with just about any listener.
