Jeff Shew & The Late-Night Crew www.jeffshew.com Jeff Shew was inundated with blues music at an early age while growing up in and around Chicago, and he was fortunate to be mentored by the legendary Pinetop Perkins. Jeff’s songs blend basic traditional blues and pop melodies, often times with spooky, old-timey & bizarre undertones that mix several different genres.

The Hammer and The Hatchet https://www.thehammerandthehatchet.com/epk John Bowyer & Jayme Hood refine their musical artistry in the fabled hills of southern Indiana. They have honed their skills and craft in the honest old-school tradition of putting in time and collaborating with some of the most significant performers in their scene. Their hard work has been paying off. With hundreds of live performances in the last 10 years, these road seasoned troubadours are swiftly traveling beyond their deep Bluegrass/Folk/Americana roots, both musically and geographically, and into fresh territory where they have been defined as both “Authentic and honest” yet artistically “innovative and delightfully original”. With masterful musicianship and endlessly appealing vocals, these genuinely adept co-writers never cease to deliver a deep well of originally introspective and heartfelt songs, of both comedy and tragedy, that consistently brings music lovers of all ages and sensitivities to their growing audiences. Catch a show. You’ll be glad you did.

KP & the WLGs Kristen Peckahm leads this genre-bending ensemble whose sound pulls from folk, rock, country, and soul. Formed in 2024 with the release of their debut album The End Is Nigh, the group brings together a lineup of seasoned musicians known for their work across multiple projects. Their latest project – a 4-song Halloween EP titled House on Larchmont – was released on October 24, 2025, and features haunting storytelling perfect for the spooky season. With velvety vocals, infectious guitar riffs, and a sound all their own, KP & the WLGs really are a bunch of Weird Little Guys. The End Is Nigh – https://kirstenpeckham9.bandcamp.com/album/the-en...
