Austin Miller & Amanda Esposito

@ Wagamama

Austin Miller & Amanda Esposito are singer/songwriters from Marietta, GA. Both have been submerged in music since a young age, but started collaborating in 2020. Since then, they have taken a deep dive into timeless Americana with a modern and refreshing approach, blurring the lines between classic and contemporary.

On stage, the duo plays harmony-driven songs from the heart on an array of instruments passed back and forth. Having performed hundreds of times in dozens of countries, they craft live shows that are memorable, organic, and unique. They have never written a setlist

Kristopher James

@ 3 Corners Pizza

As Creative Loafing writes “(Kristopher) who is a kindred musical spirit to artists like Gavin DeGraw and Amos Lee, vocals are perfectly reigned in and his easy gift for melody is unrivaled...Kristopher is perhaps the most interesting musician on the scene”.

Kristopher continues to captivate audiences throughout the South East, with his songs and stories, touring with his band in theaters and club venues, as well as supplying direct support for acts such as First Aid Kit, Marc Broussard, Ryan David Harris, Morgan James and Maggie Rose! Sharing bills with The Temptations, Anderson East, The Revivalists, Black Puma sand Mavis Staples. Additionally, in 2023, Kristopher and his band were personally invited by The Beach Boys founding member, Mike Love, to perform on The Beach Boys Cruise.

With his debut album “Kindness Never Quits”, (2019) featuring members of Scary Pockets, Kristopher caught the attention of Relix & Glide Magazine, Spotify Playlist curators and continued praise, such as “vocals are so powerful and as the song progresses, he showcases why he is one of the best singers out there. All that soul in one artist is just unbelievable” from Reignland Magazine - and continued to garner praise from music contributors like B-Sides & Badlands, Adobe & Teardrops, Bristol Funk and many others, for his following singles "Never Had To Find Our Way" (ft.  Max Brown of The War & Treaty), "Feelings" and his 2023 release "I Can Only Love You in a Song".
