— SOPHIA RANKIN & THE SOUND– Sophia Rankin & The Sound (SRS) is an acclaimed Alternative Folk Rock band originating from Tucson, Arizona. Front woman Sophia Rankin began performing in 2015, and has since won first-place awards at both the 2017 Tucson Desert Song Festival and the 2018 Stefan George Songwriting competition for her original music. Founded in 2020, SRS now consists of Connor Rankin on drums and synth, Noah Weig-Pickering on lead guitar, and Ben Arthur Mortensen on bass and vocals. SRS has played internationally and locally, opening for acts such as Roger Clyne and The Peacemakers, The Black Moods, Jake Owen, Diamond Rio, and Ryanhood. They have performed at The Rialto Theatre, Dusk Music Festival, Tucson Folk Festival, and more while headlining shows at venues such as Hotel Congress and 191 Toole. Their unique blend of folk, pop, Americana, and rock music reveals introspective songwriting that resonates with listeners of all ages. Their original music is available on all listening platforms and services.

— ADAM TOWNSEND BAND — With a passion for soul music, and an allegiance to classic rock, Adam Townsend’s retro leaning style has an equally timeless and fresh energy. Born in the vibrant desert of Tucson, Arizona, persistence and resilience have echoed throughout his story and his path toward pursuing a music career. After a decade of challenges, he recorded his debut album “All My Fires” with Grammy-nominated producer Andrija Tokic (Alabama Shakes, Langhorne Slim) in Nashville TN. Adam’s vintage-inspired sound has earned comparisons to artists like Michael Kiwanuka, Ray LaMontagne & Nathaniel Rateliff. His music has been featured in the #1 Netflix show “Ginny & Georgia” and has over 5 million streams. With plans for a follow-up album underway, this modern-day troubadour is a testament to the power of hard work. His music speaks for itself, and big things are expected from this undeniable talent.
