Lauris Vidal has always treated the neck of his guitars like the skate parks of central Florida, where he grew up. Lauris has navigated both instrument and skate session with an aggression and ease of stride that serves not to impress or intimidate, but to inspire and invigorate.

Lauris’ lust for living is infectious, and from an early age he found that the best way to spread that infection was through his signature brand of “kitchen sink beat blues”. If the ghosts of American soul and folk music are the wind in Lauris’ sail, then the urgency and intelligence of Bad Brains and Fugazi are his anchor. The cowboy boots with which he pummels the stage when keeping time have traveled from the swamps of rural Gainesville to the broken streets of D.C. and Baltimore. Each place Lauris goes and every relationship he forms adds a different spice to his narrative stew. He spent time as a volunteer mentor to kids in central Florida, and has braved the rigorous oppression of office life while honing his craft in our nation’s capitol.

KRISTOPHER JAMES – Though he’s lived in the Sunshine State, for most of his life, Kristopher’s talent for melody and song (now) extend far past the state’s line. Like his influencers Otis Redding, Amos Lee, and Roberta Flack, Kristopher’s voice is clear, controlled, and full of all-the-feels.
As with all artists, Kristopher’s sound has ebbed and flowed, evolving yet remaining instantly recognizable. With the growth he’s experienced as an artist, Kristopher felt it was time to capture his songs, in their fully-imagined sound, with his first full-length release, “Kindness Never Quits”. With “Kindness Never Quits,” Kristopher unquestionably makes his mark on the world of Americana and stirs in a soulful strength, leaving a heart-full impression on every listener.

Whyte Tygers is a band consisting of bride & groom singer/songwriters Heather Lee & Jordan Wynn – and a kicking rhythm section. While the melodies and heart-felt lyrics are consistent with what fans of HLJW’s previous work are familiar with, there is a new pulse and attack to the way the songs are presented. It’s a higher energy – joy filled – groove oriented group – the likes of which are deeply rooted in the R&B of the 60s. Indie Americana at its most fun filled finest.
