Darrin Bradbury — Taking the Midwest by poetic form with the wordiest show on Earth! Come one come all as he juggles shaky narratives and pulls meaning from hats for this once in a fiscal quarter opportunity of a life time!
American Pirates — Influenced by 1920-30s jazz with their toes dipped into the roots of American folk. Featuring award winning pianist Albert Newberry, Aaron Jones, Judah Allen, Eli Sparks, Alex Kumar and Josh Joy. The Worm Song is featured in Vol 1 from the Switchyard on Bandcamp
Tyler Frederick — a spoken word poet and slant rhyme aficionado who writes about love, addiction, and addictive love. He's an optimist who used to be a pessimist, and is thrilled to be navigating life as an ex-addict who once thought that death would come for him before recovery. You can find him on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube @TheManTheBohemyth. Send him some pictures of mushrooms when you friend request him. He loves mushrooms.
He is the treasurer of the Writers Guild at Bloomington, and he regularly performs at the Bloomington Poetry Slam as well as various open mics around the state. He sporadically hosts cave poetry events, which give poets a chance to read their poetry underground.
Gravy Bird — Post-Apocalyptic Jam Rock Americana Chakra-Bop. Steeped in the old thyme tradition of garage practices and big guitars we are "reddy to believe you".
