KHALIKO, "is an Atlanta-based alternative rock band that likes to make music. With bassist Elijah Haller, drummer Ethan Parks, guitarist Danny Griffin and the versatile guitarist/vocalist Sam Epstein, KHALIKO creates a sonic experience that transcends the modern expectation of Rock ‘n Roll."
Lighthearted, "is a dynamic indie-folk band from Athens, Georgia, fronted by identical twin sisters Gracie Huffman & Eliza Lemmon. Formed in 2019, the band draws from the deep wells of folk traditions and contemporary indie influences. They write the type of hushed, kaleidoscopic songs that appeal to anyone that takes to gorgeous harmonies and plumbing the depths of human nature."
Karma Kat, "is a local Athens band that blends rock and jazz to create an innovative indie sound. The band is young, but their sound is mature and soulful.The band was created by vocalist Carley Rogers in 2023 who wanted to create a sound that is new and unique to the Athens scene. The group is a multi-instrumentalist and multifaceted blend of creatives. The lead singer is Carley Rogers, lead guitarist is Nick Christian, Seth Parker is the drummer, and Juan Ochoa is the bassist. These Kats will rock your socks off."
