Zach Williams and the Bellow
Marcellus Hall
Susan Justice
Julia Haltigan

From unlikely beginnings, Zach Williams has continued to write and play in numerous well-known venues, singing to capacity crowds at the Knitting Factory, Bowery Ballroom, and Rockwood Music Hall. Born and raised in Acworth, Georgia, Williams’ music has evolved to reflect his Southern roots, incorporating elements of rock, gospel, country and blues that result in a unique and soul-searing blend of can’t-get-them-out-of-your-head lyrics that spring from a deep emotional reservoir. A performer who doesn’t hold back on stage, Williams’ raw, strong, and heart-rendering vocals are backed by skilled and soulful musicians who put just as much into every performance as he does.

Susan Justice: Every now and then an artist arrives on the scene and captures your attention not with pyrotechnics, high fashion or cutting edge technology but with an honest voice, an open heart, and songs that touch your soul. SUSAN JUSTICE just might be one of those rare artists who can speak to a generation. On her debut album "Eat Dirt," soon to be released on Capitol Records/Kite Records, Justice delivers a collage of emotionally resonant songs that are deeply personal and reflective, but at the same time connect with anyone who's ever tried to figure out who they are and where they belong. "Eat Dirt" is an inspiring story of survival and a wild joyful ride that puts a smile on your face in these most difficult of times.

Julia Haltigan
Julia Haltigan grew up in New York City off the Bowery in the 1980s. As an only child born into a musically inclined family, Julia learned to use her voice to attract attention. Her grandmother was a member of the 1940′s quartet The Larkin Sisters, and her father, a vital member of Julia’s band, taught her to play the guitar and sing. Today Julia uses that same voice to roar like a lion over her superb 6 piece band or to showcase her soft and sexy side, melting you like an ice cream cone on a hot summer day.
