Event Description

Ole Fateful
 North Georgia native Evan Fricks pulled roots and moved to New York City in 2009. A lifelong musician, Evan dug his heels into the NYC music scene, playing with notable acts Adult Dude, Iola, and StrangePride.
 In 2013, Evan released his first EP Places Where You’ve Been under the moniker Ole Fateful and released the full-length Spirits in 2018. His sound, rooted in southern soil, conjures an atmosphere that is both timeless and urgent. A southern crooner at heart, Evan possesses an authenticity to his songwriting that is both honest and raw- but he’s also happy to break your heart with a tall tale or two.
 After cutting his teeth in New York, Evan crash-landed back to Georgia- spending his time raising two daughters and raising new songs. Joined by Ross Harrell and Nicholas Mendenhall (and sometimes a few extra friends) Ole Fateful is currently playing shows and recording new tunes in the Metro Atlanta and surrounding areas.

Cody Marlowe 
American born singer-songwriter and roots-rock artist Cody Marlowe found his inspiration at an early age in the soulful sounds of B.B. King, Merle Haggard, and The Allman Brothers Band. In the North Georgia town of Clermont, Cody was born into a musical family. At a young age, Marlowe was taught piano by his great-aunt and his mother, guitar from his grandpa and uncle, and was influenced vocally by his grandma, aunt, mother, and sister. Katie (sister) sings live with Cody on stage and on many recordings. Cody has played in Georgia and the American Southeast for over twenty years, performing in popular venues such as Eddie’s Attic, Smiths Olde Bar, Crimson Moon, and many others. Marlowe’s Americana sound explores the polarities of good and evil in an intriguing blend of lyrics featuring lost loves and hopeful musings.
 
 
J.R. Rund
 The Georgia-bred songwriter brings a unique perspective to a genre that has often been reduced to the mention of whiskey and the spiral of unrequited love. J.R. is decidedly more poet and Prine than crooner and Cash. His humble songs are chocked full of conversational lyrics—often humorous, other times gut-wrenching but always delivered honestly. Loaded for bear with his band and new LP, J.R.’s knocking on Americana’s Palace door. But he doesn’t need to be the new King in the castle, he’s happy to be the Jester with a heart of gold.
In 2022 J.R. popped the cork on his most ambitious musical project to date. He whittled away at a group of songs, painstakingly piecing together the puzzle that would become his first full-length release, From Where I’m Sittin’. J.R. recalls the process of making the record with Caleb Neff at Juniper Recordings as “organic and raw”. With a mix of classic-leaning country, folk, and rock and roll, this session would produce 10 sonically diverse small plates, thoughtfully prepared and perfectly seasoned with his trademark ‘I don’t take myself too seriously’ aesthetic. Sometimes sad and sometimes sweet but always with tongue planted firmly in cheek, From Where I’m Sittin’ is an infectious new addition to the burgeoning country-roots scene.
