Bio:
Krystal had her own taste in music from an early age when she caught a snippet of Alan Jackson on the radio. From then she was hooked on steel guitar and lyrics that painted a picture of the humble truths of life. After years of bouncing on her bed singing Shania Twain, playing with a toy guitar, and singing songs she had written to her dog, Krystal's parents bought her her first guitar. Krystal took off learning chords to play her favorite songs and soon began to craft and write her own. Krystal, originally from Hickory, NC, has been on a musical journey leading her to her current residence in Nashville, TN. Krystal is a strong believer in the power of music to heal hearts and communities. Because of this belief, Krystal works during the day as a psychiatric music therapist. When she is not working, Krystal is writing and playing music at the downtown honky tonks and other local venues, as well as, traveling to spread her music to a larger audience. Krystal's sound is as quirky as her person and she is not afraid to show some honest humor in her material such as her first single "You had me at Double Wide." Krystal pulls her inspiration from classic and outlaw artist's such as Willie and Loretta as well as the modern likes of Miranda Lambert, Jennifer Nettles, and Chris Stapleton to result in a twangy blues of her own.

My name is Presley Aaron. I’m from a small town in South Carolina and just moved to Nashville. I’ve been playing shows since I’ve been 16 and traveling every weekend ever since. Music is what I love to do and make. It’s my passion. I love to write what I feel and hope there is people out there that can relate.

Hailing from Chicago, IL, Joe Denny is a fresh face in the Nashville (TN) music scene. With roots originating in gospel, classic rock, folk, and country, Joe’s music translates his upbringing and experiences in a new but familiar way, paralleling a traditional American lifestyle. With many artists looking to change the music scene, Joe is one of the rarer artists looking to preserve traditional styles in efforts of curating something new.
