Tears To Embers BIO:
Tears to Embers, was started by two brothers Brandon and Matt Hicks in 2005 with fellow musician Mike Strunk. Originally kno...wn under another name they quickly changed to the Tears to Embers we know now. Through the first few years the band went through many members and met friends through other bands. In the summer of 2011 the band met drummer Frank West and the main 4 piece line up was born. The band started gaining traction and signed a development deal with MAKE Records in 2013. At the beginning of 2014 the band had one final line up change with the departure of good friend Mike Strunk from guitar and the addition of Brent Goad on bass and David Keith on guitar with Co-Founder Matt Hicks moving to guitar as well, making the band a 5 piece for the first time. The band is currently working on their first studio album with MAKE. Set to release Spring of 2015 with their first single "Still and Cold" leading the way.

Belfast 6 Pack BIO:
Belfast 6 Pack came together via " the love for music" each member inspiring their own unique style collaborated and in a st...orm began hitting the pavement with a niche to be "The Heard" band from Knoxville TN. Sharing the stage in past experiences with Non Point, Stuck Mojo and Psycostick this collective and creative group focuses on the " Realism of what we do." Throughout the struggles any band or musician must face they maintained the " Positivity" of a life long dream with always " Respecting their fellow musicians and fans." Introducing songs such as Slept with the Devil, Up to the Mountain and Sparks Fly heads turned and people began to follow their lyrical story. In a world where everything has to be catergorized, Belfast presents a variety of songs from the powerful vocals to the melodic beat of notes brought forth by the drums and guitars. In 2013 the band began recording in hopes to release a full lenght album and continue their way throughout the Southeast Region letting everyone know they are here to stay.
