You’ve got one life, so you might as well enjoy it. “See past this moment. Look to understand, accept what you don’t know. Life’s great journey of endless exploration begins when you’re ready to step through the light.” - Grace, Majesty, and the Tranquil Spiral (TMHCE) Old Brier: (Raleigh, NC) Old Brier is an Indie Rock band from Raleigh, North Carolina. Started by five friends in a storage unit, Old Brier has a heavy, experimental sound inspired by alternative rock artists like Manchester Orchestra, O’Brother, and Foo Fighters. Their latest release, Hallow, is available on all music streaming and purchasing platforms. Lead singer and songwriter, Tristan McGee, is a storyteller, spinning narrative into the surprisingly introspective songs. Paired with a guitar heavy sound, Old Brier is a unique and fresh take on Indie Rock. While their music is not only an interesting listen - with unexpected changes and thought-provoking lyrics - it is even better experienced live to capture the fullness of the band’s sound and energy. Old Brier’s chemistry and charisma is a joy to watch and brings you back to the heart of what it means to be a band - rocking out for the love of music! Celaris: (Raleigh, NC) Raleigh, NC’s Celaris was forged from the meeting of musical minds Rachel Pappalardo (guitarist) and Joshua Rush (drums) in the Spring of 2018. Influenced by various predecessors within and outside of their genre, Celaris continuously challenges the limits of progressive metal, incorporating technical, soaring riffs, catchy and impassioned vocal melodies, and infectious grooves into the fabric of their works. Celaris has shared bills with major acts such as Thornhill, Strawberry Girls, Rings of Saturn, Moodring, ENOX, standards, and Tang (among many others) and is currently at work on their sophomore album. Their debut album, “In Hiding”, is currently out on all streaming platforms as is their single, "Out of Phase", both produced by the legendary Jamie King.
