Grey Eagle at The Outpost (Side Stage)

Surely Tempo
consists of Alex Martinez, Raymond Pardo, Paul Florindo, and David Ismodes. The group formed in 2020 releasing their first single “ I don’t talk” in August and later in that same year releasing their debut EP “ Days so Bitter, Yet so sweet” Following that the group has been consistently releasing singles that are recorded and mixed by their producer and audio engineer Bryan Farrell.

Caged Affair
is an alternative rock band based out of Asheville NC.  Their neo-grunge punk hybrid sound has drawn parallels to bands like Queens of the Stone Age, Nirvana and Royal Blood.

Led by guitarist/vocalist Tyler Kemmerling, whose music has been heavily influenced by the Foo Fighters, Nirvana, My Bloody Valentine and Smashing Pumpkins, Caged Affair delivers music written with a sense of both despair and whit, a counterculture look at modern day society.  “Falling into Madness,” a recently released single, vividly illustrates youths’ disillusionment with the fading American dream.

Palmyra
“Like the best folk often does, [Palmyra] balances melancholic yearning with intimate beauty, crafting a dance of lovely harmony and unadorned instrumentation.”

-Under The Radar, 2023

“Their voice(s) drips with a beautiful desperation, every single word holding an earnestness you don’t find just anywhere anymore.”

-The Alternative, 2023

Established in the Shenandoah Valley, Palmyra’s set explores the fusion of traditional folk string instruments, three part harmonies, and earnest songwriting. The trio captures the collective spirit of three Virginia natives, Teddy (he/him), Manoa (he/him), and Sasha (they/them), often described as a distant cousin of the progressive folk band, Punch Brothers, mixed with elements of Oliver Wood or the Avett Brothers. Palmyra’s songs are intimate and contemplative, with arrangements that allow them to create the illusion of a full, larger-than-three ensemble. The trio's sound is a nod to Appalachia and Midwestern Americana, apparent through their stirring craftsmanship and dedication to a folk-driven, innovative experience throughout each unique live performance.
