CHRIS ACKER

Acker released his fourth full-length album, Famous Lunch, on Gar Hole Records in October of 2024. Famous Lunch contains some of his best work yet: laid back, country-rockers like "Wouldn't Do For You (Buddy)" and "Shit Surprise" (which Paste Magazine called a "song of the year contender" in 2024), a few raucous, bar-ready joints like "Don't You Know Who I Think | Am)" and "Bunn Machine" , and tender, folky triumphs like "Stubborn Eyes". Chris Acker is the best!

THE MONTVALES

The Montvales have gone on to share the stage with bands like Willy Tea Taylor and the Fellership, The Local Honeys, James McMurtry, and Mama's Broke, and have appeared at festivals such as Healing Appalachia and the Old Quarter Songwriter Festival. In 2025 they signed with Free Dirt Records to release the single "Loud and Clear", with a hint at more new music to come.
