Originally from rural Union City, PA, Xander started songwriting at age eighteen, sparked by his habit of scouring record shops for first the classics, then the hidden gems and vinyl obscurities which tell a more lonely and mysterious tale. A self-professed crate digger and amateur musical anthropologist, Xander dove off the deep end into country, folk, and rock—sounds all woven expertly into Three Waltzes. He also credits the local music scenes of Pittsburgh, Chicago, and now New York City, his home for the last decade, for pushing him to grow as a songwriter. This drive to ever improve eventually brought him success playing shows with Justin Townes Earle, Tyler Childers, Robbie Fulks, BJ Barham of American Aquarium, and Howe Gelb of Giant Sand.

Raised in Colorado, guitarist and songwriter Wolf van Elfmand creates with inspiration from a swath of American roots music. Since 2019 he’s released 5 records including Don’t Call It Country, which hit shelves on March 1st 2024. Wolf is undoubtedly a familiar-looking, archetypal figure from a version of the West, with musical DNA patchwork comprised of a 50s and 60s folk revival vocal vibrato plus round and sturdy fingerstyle guitar picking with hands trying to figure what a Rocky Mountain-raised, less acrobatic Chet Atkins might have sounded like. His work is a product of a good sense of humor, a good heart, and his ability to ignore the omnipresent whispers from life asking him to be still.

Indie-bluegrass trio Eugene Tyler Band is a road band, cutting their teeth on the bluegrass festival circuit and clubs across the northeast. But their newest record, Low It Goes, captures the free-wheeling intensity of those live shows and showcases the cathartic, irreverent songwriting that has won them fans all over the country. As songwriter Eugene Gardner says, “You learn a lot about yourself as a band when you’re playing 3 hours a night, and it’s forced us to step up our game in a way that I’m really proud of.” Sharing stages with bands like The Kitchen Dwellers, Driftwood, Mountain Grass Unit, and Town Mountain, ETB has carved out a unique voice in the bluegrass scene, with cutting, often humorous songs, and a fast & loose approach that calls back to influences like the Clash and Drive-By Truckers.
Producing the album themselves, the band made a point to take the varied instrumentation of their live shows into the studio. “Writing on different instruments lets us explore different emotional ranges that we might not otherwise get to if we had to rely on the same lineup all the time.” That emotional range comes through on songs like ‘Golden Years’ and ‘Sit Down’, soaring to a wall of acoustic sound, the band barreling forward with abandon. The title track, ‘Low it Goes’, sees the band at their most pleading, telling a story of people who are lonely around their families, lonely around their friends, lonely with their lovers, and lonely out in the world. The album has its fair share of lighter moments, from the country-sounding ‘Cheap Beer’ to a fired-up take on Tom Petty’s ‘ Apartment Song’, balancing out the acerbic attack that permeates the rest of the album.
Eugene Gardner (vocals/guitar/mandolin/tenor guitar), Danny Tyler (banjo/guitar) and Marc Jaffee (upright bass/vocals) all grew up within a few miles of each other in New York’s Hudson Valley, where they are currently based.

When it comes to Brennen Leigh, there is no question. Always and assuredly precise in her ability to craft country music of the highest caliber, her latest album - the uncompromisingly titled Don’t You Ever Give Up On Love - is packed full of playful earworms, tender tearjerkers and honky tonk quintessence that two steps straight to the heart.
Offered as a declaration for the desperate, the titular track that opens the album was initially composed by friend and fellow musician Elijah Ocean, who had completed a portion of the song with Leigh in mind. “My immediate reply was ‘Don’t you dare finish that without me,’”says Leigh. Bright and blissful, the resulting co-write boasts a cinematic quality akin to the soundtrack of a countrified happily-ever-after ending.
Nodding to some of the more cautionary cuts of artists like Loretta Lynn, Leigh quickly removes herself from a rubbish romantic relationship in stride on the pedal steel heavy “Dumpster Diving.” Although self-described as a “trashy little tune,” do not discard the wisdom earned from Leigh’s brief suffering by “settling for less than we deserve in love.”

Born in California, and spending the last 15 years in Colorado, Nick Dunbar is no stranger to the wild west and the culture that comes with it.

On the record he creatively intertwines the classic Western swing and Honky Tonk sounds of greats like Lefty Frizzell, Bob Wills and Ernest Tubb, with the country western traditions of Merl Haggard and Willie Nelson. His songwriting is playful and humorous but also honest and cathartic.

The Other Planets are a 4-piece psychedelic country band based in Brooklyn. Their songs arc towards the early ‘70s sounds of country music, when country and folk fused together on the west coast to give birth to rock n roll’s more laid-back twin. They go heavy on the three-part harmonies and savant-like pedal steel playing, with songs of long strange trips and poignant yearnings from the edge of the barstool.

Formed by Andrew Spaulding (Pill) and Oscar Allen Guinn (Rhinestone) Quartz Casino Band thrives in the Brooklyn soil: watered by whiskey, fertilized by lead paint flakes, and the J train’s lullaby.

The diversity of songwriting is apparent, no one song sounds the same as the last, but they’re all complimentary like a good plate of country cooking should be. Share a beer and a tear, have a party if it’s hearty, Quartz Casino Band will be there for both.

NYC Dead Club presents DEAD DAY- live music, dj’s, vendors, and more! DJ Eat Records spinnning throughout the day!
Roberta Faceplant is a honky tonk hurricane from Philadelphia. Safely in the middle of a Venn diagram where kitsch meets bitch, the five-piece Outlaw Americana band has been called “a cowpunk miracle” and been compared to “Southern Culture on the Skids fronted by Laura Bell Bundy.” It’s Country, but you can hear the City.
Raucous guitars, a driving rhythm section, and the raw, powerful, and soulful vocals of frontwoman Katie Feeney make Roberta Faceplant a five-fingered fist of Country grit. Lyrically, Feeney and the band pull no punches, tackling current events with tongue in cheek humor and rage. Peppered with Bob Seger-style working-man themes and a dose of Southern Rock, the band still holds tight to the true spirit of country music - three chords and the truth.
Over the last year, Roberta Faceplant has performed at venues such as Skinny Dennis in Brooklyn, NY and at events like Baby’s First Rodeo in Philadelphia, PA, while opening for emerging artists like Emily Nenni, Dylan Earl, Hannah Juanita, Olivia Ellen Lloyd, Rebecca Porter, and more. The band’s last single received radio play on stations like KOOP 91.7 FM and KLKT 107.9 FM in Texas; NOLA County Radio in New Orleans; and WXPN 88.5 in Philadelphia.
Roberta Faceplant released their debut EP, Yee Haw Stuff, in 2024 and is releasing a follow up six-song EP, Brisket & Cigarettes, on September 26, 2025.

Northeast Country Coalition Presents: “Originals Only” - A night for the workers in song, showcasing the best of emerging original Americana music, featuring:
RENE LOPEZ is a Bronx-born singer-songwriter whose music walks the gritty line between truth and myth, blending Americana,Latin rhythms, Outlaw Country and rock & roll into something unmistakably his own. Raised in a New York steeped in musical legacy—his father, René López Sr., was a trumpet player with Ray Barretto and Tipica ’73—Lopez inherited a love of rhythm and melody that pulses through everything he creates. But Rene’s path has never been about simply preserving tradition. Instead, he builds from it—fusing the old-school with street-corner honesty, genre-bending grooves, and emotionally raw storytelling. Over the years, Lopez has been called a “one-man song factory” (NPR’s Alt.Latino) and hailed for his ability to channel everything from bolero and cha-cha to funk, folk, and doo-wop. But what makes his current work resonate so deeply is his refusal to hide—behind personas, behind polish, behind the past. Whether singing over timbales and Cuban tres or confessing his struggles on a dusty Americana backbeat, Rene Lopez is chasing something real.
ALEXANDRA JAMES is a genre-bending singer-songwriter grown in California and based in Brooklyn. Equal parts outlaw country and folk lullaby, with an education in jazz music, she is a unique blend of sound and influence. First and foremost she is a storyteller, using her quietly powerful voice to deliver raw and personal lyrics. She and her band, the Danger Boys, deliver an energetic set of original music full of emotional depth, toe-tapping grooves, and lush vocal harmony.
PLEASURE HORSE is a rollicking Cosmicana-Country band based out of Minneapolis. Their style feels like a cross between the dusty road ballads of Townes Van Zandt and the rock-infused Americana of Tom Petty, creating a blend that's both nostalgic and relevant. “Pleasure Horse offers just a little of just about everything you’ve ever loved about country music: beer-soaked heartbreak and twang, a little Tex-Mex and a little rock and roll.” ~Dave Hoenack of Hymie’s Vintage Records
The City Slicks hail from all the way up Metropolitan Ave in Ridgewood, Queens. Nick and Alex Altanian are native Queens kids, brothers, and country music lovers bringing their own flavor of NYC twang to the stage with a rambunctious four-piece band featuring Mike Majchrowski (lead guitar) and Chris Marciniak (bass). Playing a combination of covers from their favorite country artists and originals inspired by the streets of NYC, the City Slicks always aim to get folks out onto the dance floor and having a great time.
