Randall Shreve is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist out of Fayetteville, Arkansas. With his soulful vocals and moving melodies, Shreve affects his audiences in a way that is often described as a spiritual experience. While he has toured for over a decade with and without a band, he also takes the “one-man-band show” to the next level. The show features the artist looping multiple instruments together giving the audience the experience of watching a song being created from scratch. This process often starts off with a drum beat, then progresses to the multiple guitar tracks including rhythm and melody, then he adds additional instrumental tracks and starts singing. His expertise in this process shines in every show.

Willi Carlisle is, according to The Washington Post, “powerful…both down-home and brainy.” With years of collecting folklore, playing or calling square dances, and working in the avant-garde, Willi Carlisle is a multi-faceted writer, performer, and instrumentalist. With a style forged in the fire of Ozark old time music and his ever-growing collection of antique music, Carlisle’s musical stories hoot, stomp, and saunter through joys and troubles uniquely southern and timelessly true. Equally comfortable on banjo, accordion, fiddle, and guitar, Carlisle has earned accolades for his versatility with performances in the UK, Canada, and across the USA, appearing with acts like Dom Flemons, Mary Gauthier, Los Texmaniacs, Cory Branan, Carson McHone, and more! While his big frame and expressive voice draw comparison to old balladeers and bluesmen, Willi sings new songs for the oldest reasons: love, heartache, and joy. People who watch and listen will find that he laughs and sheds a tear onstage almost as often as his audiences do, fire- and-brimstone proof of larger-than-life songs and stories.​

Route 358 is a string duo best known for their rich harmonies, original music and playful live performances – specializing in bending and blending Americana music at its finest. With a large organic base of followers both on social media and through live shows, the band has been touring for the past four years regionally in the Midwest and as far reaching as Colorado. 358’s live session video “Fragile Hearts” was selected as one of the top entries from Arkansas in the NPR Tiny Desk competition and led the band to showcase at the Arkansas NPR Tiny Desk event in 2019. This hardworking band’s first LP – “Fragile Hearts” received national and international air play while their sophomore LP “Peregrination I,” released September 2020, continues in that same trajectory – gaining positive attention from media and radio.​The band prides themselves on staying true to their acoustic roots, their imaginative storytelling and connecting with their fans along the journey.

The work is developed through the personal histories of the people whose lives have been shaped by Mount Sequoyah and the Ozarks. New Movement examines collective memory, how we construct and recall memories, and how it can inform our relationship with ourselves, others, and the ground on which we live.
