Eliot Bronson is the type of songwriter who could squeeze out something meaningful about taking out the trash. He writes heartfelt songs with dark humor and backs them with his resonant voice and swampy instruments. Back in his hometown of Baltimore, he was dubbed a folk-singing wunderkind. He then moved to Atlanta and started the Brilliant Inventions with Josh Lamkin. The duo quickly won the Best New Local Music Act in the 2008 Creative Loafing Readers Poll. As well as The Eddie's Attic Shoot Out, and Most Wanted Emerging Artists at The Falcon Ridge Folk Festival] The band broke up in 2010. Lamkin became a full-time photographer while Bronson released his first solo record, Blackbirds, to wide critical acclaim. Bronson just released his second CD, Milwaukee, with a backing band, Yonder Orphans. The band includes Sugarlands original guitarist, Bret Hartley, and BoDeans drummer Kevin Leahy. The album pays tribute to Rodney Lanier, who, until his death in 2011, was one of the most beloved musicians in Charlotte, NC, fronting bands such as Jolene and Sea of Cortez."' -Al Kauffman - Atlanta Music Guide

Influenced by great songwriters like Jim Croce, James Taylor and Lucinda Williams, Fields has blended a mix of folk-alternative Americana to create a sound only unique to him. His natural and melancholy voice stands out from the mix. "He sings with the tender high tenor of Tim Buckley and the plain spoken poetry of Jim Croce."(Miami Herald) Fields is truly in his element on stage. His live performances showcase his unassuming yet candid personality; an 'ah shucks' sort of charisma audiences are drawn to. They cant help but watch, and listen, and be a part of the experiences unfolding in song. In addition to releasing two albums since taking to the road in 2003 Fields has been showcasing his talents at BMI songwriter showcases in Nashville, Los Angeles, New York and at the BMI Brunch at SXSW. He was also the Southeast Region finalist in the independent music world series in 2004, chosen over a group of 1200 acts and has had his music featured on MTV's Real World, Road Rules and Sorority Life.
Boone (aka Daniel Lee) - Daniel Lee is a musical act comprised of the traveling gypsy tumbleweed musician-singer Daniel Lee and whomever he happens to be playing with in the current city. Daniel Lee has been honored with many accolades including winning national-level contests like the Eddie's Attic Shootout, NewSong, and Gold-level SAW awards. He was the WAMA "Songwriter of the Year" in '05.
Will Call tickets may be picked up at the box office one hour prior to the concert.
