About The Whiskey Charmers:

The Whiskey Charmers are a Detroit-based band led by Carrie Shepard and Lawrence Daversa. Their captivating Spaghetti Western sound is cinematic in scope and evokes imagery of a lonesome desert highway.Ken Capobianco, Boston Globe Music Critic described their most recent album as a “Sharply executed and evocative set of Americana rock filled with superbly arrangedyy songs about the struggle to find connections, a sense of home, and a center in a ghost town of a world.” With two Detroit Music Awards under their belt and a growing fan base, the duo is quickly gaining momentum as they gear up for their fifth full length studio album poised to drop this Spring. Catch them as a duo or with their full band around Detroit or on one their many road trips across the country.

 

About Kate Hinote & Tony Hamera:

Vocalist Kate Hinote and guitarist/producer Tony Hamera are a husband/wife songwriting duo based out of Detroit, with a dozen releases to their credit over the last 17 years.  Their sound has always matched their varied influences, ranging from Americana/Folk-Noir to Alternative/Psych Rock with their current band The Blueflowers, Shoegaze/Dreampop with their first endeavor, Ether Aura, and Post-Apocalyptic Folk with the one-off passion project, Sound of Eleven.  While they have weaved in and out of various genres, there has always been a thread connecting their projects with a Hamera/Hinote style.  Words like cinematic and hauntingly beautiful have often been used to describe their music, no matter the genre, with references to David Lynch and Quentin Tarantino films as a proposed and sought after backdrop to their work.  While Hinote and Hamera most often share the stage as part of a six-piece band, as a duo they appreciate the opportunity to perform stripped-down versions of their songs and showcase their work as songwriters.  Learn more at www.katehinote.com/blueflowers
