Red Dress Amy and The Brothers Gillespie

Red Dress Amy
Born in Charlotte, and raised on rock n’ roll, Red Dress Amy brings a ton of energy to any stage they set foot on. The trio draw on influences such as Cream, Jimi Hendrix, The Black Keys, and The White Stripes to cultivate their gritty, high-octane rock n’ roll. With their driving rhythms and fuzz-heavy guitar riffs, these guys cross generational audiences. Their sound is reminiscent of some of the iconic classic rock icons they grew up listening to while staying modern and relevant to younger audiences. With this in mind, the boys released “Otherwise Peaceful”. Their first full length album in September of 2021. Drawing on songs and ideas from their earlier days together, while also cultivating new material and means of sonic expression, Red Dress Amy's freshman release aspires to capture the combination of their live sound, and their ability to craft and compose combinations of riffs and lyrics. Audiences will experience the full spectrum of the band's musical ability in a live setting. Wide and bulky guitar riffs coincide with raspy vocal deliveries, while the punchy and pounding drum and bass lines help to capture what a power blues rock trio can really do.

The Brothers Gillespie
The Brothers Gillespie began in late 2018 on the suggestion of a friend to record an EP of songs they had been kicking around for fun. After getting a taste of attention from the 2018 eponymous release, they took a chance and moved operations to Johnson City, Tennessee, with the promise that they would give their musical aspirations a year, and if there was more partying than progress, they would give it up and move on. Luckily the partying coincided with the progress, and in early 2019 the Brothers Gillespie released their debut album, “Love & Death,” building on their foundation of gritty rock n’ roll, and masterful songwriting. They moved back home to Waynesville, North Carolina to save money and take their show on the road, playing everywhere from Richmond to Dallas and all the bars in between. In 2022 the band released the conceptual "American Pastoral" to acclaim with Smokey Mountain News' Garret Woodward calling it "a vast and vibrant landscape of sonic and lyrical textures".
