Kate Hollingsworth –

Birmingham native whose deep-rooted connection to music was cultivated in a family where harmonies and melodies were as commonplace as conversations. As a seasoned musician, Kate is no stranger to the stage, having spent years performing with her husband, Taylor, in their critically acclaimed band, Dead Fingers. Their unique blend of Americana and rock earned them a devoted following and a reputation for soulful, raw performances.

In addition to her work with Dead Fingers, Kate toured extensively with her siblings, including her sister, Maria Taylor, a well-known name in the indie music scene. Together, they brought a familial warmth and dynamic energy to audiences across the country.

 Now, Kate is making a triumphant return to her roots as a solo artist, channeling her experiences from years on the road and in the studio into a sound that is distinctly her own. Her music, rich with emotion and storytelling, reflects her journey through life as a musician, wife, and mother, while also paying homage to her Birmingham upbringing and the musical heritage that has shaped her.

Joe D Nelson –

For the better part of the 21st Century, Joe D. Nelson (aka Jody Nelson) has been writing songs about how strange it is to be anything at all. He trades in a perverse Americana articulated via a novelist’s eye for detail, a poet’s love of the liminal, playful surrealism, and sci-fi morality.

Nelson cut his songwriting teeth via his former outfit, Through The Sparks — a Birmingham, Alabama garage band consisting of formidable multi-instrumentalists and studio rats whose instrumental ambitions could easily match his fevered lyrical visions. With his solo debut, Iced Cherries, Nelson helms every intricacy with wide eyes and a full heart — inverting his past techniques by abandoning electric guitars and ProTools in favor of deft fingerpicking on an acoustic guitar and recording live to analog tape.

“Remember the name Jody Nelson, because you’ll soon be hearing it mentioned with the likes of Jeff Tweedy, Ron Sexsmith, and A.C. Newman.”
-Jim Di Gioia, Quick Before It Melts
