Geddings is a Carolina native, raised in Sumter and currently living in Charleston. She embraced music from a young age; she began writing lyrics in fifth grade and learning an instrument just seemed like a natural next step. Only a month of lessons later, and Geddings moved towards self-teaching herself the guitar at the age of fifteen. It didn't take long for her to know this is what she wanted to do for the rest of her life. Because she writes from personal experience, Geddings' finds that her music is easily relatable and feels that every song has a little bit of something for everyone. Her first EP, Post-Script, came out during the summer of 2011. It includes 7 songs, all featuring a full-band as well as Geddings.

FROM MORGAN CREEK GRILL IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE MUSIC INITIATIVE
PRESENTED BY KYLE CANNON

On Dangermuffin's 2010 release Moonscapes, the Folly Beach, S.C.-based trio sang about home. Even they couldn't have expected the extent of that paradox — the album grew the band into a traveling national act, with songs on both SiriusXM's Jam_On and Outlaw Country stations and slots at major festivals across the country. With their brand new follow up, Olly Oxen Free, Dangermuffin have returned home. No longer easily dubbed an Americana or roots-rock band, the group's sound encompasses ska, calypso, and even Southern rock, often within the same song. Like the cry bellowed during a children's game of hide-and-seek, Olly Oxen Free signals that it's safe to come out from our hiding spots, gather back together, and celebrate late into the evening. Dangermuffin is more ready than ever to provide the soundtrack.

Living between Texas, Louisiana and islands off the East Coast, T. Champagne channels his love of funk, roots rock, and island grooves into a danceable blend of music that utilizes percussive phrasing and catchy lyrics to engage fans to embrace hope, freedom, change...and most of all, life. T. Champagne grew up with the best of both worlds, Texas Pride and a strong Cajun Spirit with a musical foundation of piano, bass, and drums. After a decade of stage performances with numerous prior acts, T. found his true sound as a songwriter in Austin, TX and began his solo career in 2006. Keeping true to the form of movement, art and soul, T. began touring the states with his act, "Champagne with Friends" releasing their first album, "Old Town" in 2008.

In the spring of 2011, T. Champagne participated in "The Swamp Sessions" in Awendaw, SC along with Edwin McCain, Mark Bryan, Phillip Lammonds and Danielle Howle. T. His second album entitled "Life", features the single, "Sunshine Smilin" produced by Mark Bryan and Danielle Howle. In the fall of 2011, T Champagne toured all of the SEC college campuses for the 2011 "SEC Football Tailgating Tour", sponsored by The Music Initiative Magazine, as well as being named "Emerging Artist of the Year" by The Music Initiative Magazine for 2012.

Rene Russell takes her musical ideas in directions that few performers have been able to in recent times. Armed with a 12-string Taylor guitar, an indomitable voice, and self-titled, 10-track album, this sophisticated siren can burn up a stage or a stereo with the best of seasoned veterans and well-known acts.   Dazzling audiences for the past 20 years from Nashville to San Diego, Atlanta to Austin, Texas, Rene Russell not only writes her own material, but performs it with the passion and precision only a dedicated solo artist is capable of. Now residing  in Charleston, SC,  Rene has made her mark on the music industry, sharing the stage with performers such as the Indigo Girls, Tom Chapin, Jennifer Nettles (Sugarland), and the Doug Jones (Cravin' Melon).  The power of her voice and her incredible presence in front of an audience could easily fit her onto any stage.
