Blending virtuosic instrumental acrobatics with riveting lyrical craftsmanship, The Lil Smokies have earned a reputation as one of the most electrifying acts in modern American roots music thanks to their exhilarating live show and critically acclaimed studio output. Since forming on the streets of Missoula, Montana, where the group got its start busking back in 2009, the band has performed everywhere from Red Rocks to The Rialto and captivated festival audiences at Telluride, High Sierra, LOCKN’, Freshgrass, FloydFest, and countless more. Their latest album, 2020’s Tornillo, showcases the hard touring four-piece at its most adventurous, teaming up with producer Bill Reynolds (The Avett Brothers, Band Of Horses) for a genre-bending joyride from the hills of Laurel Canyon to the wide-open deserts of West Texas.

The Lil Smokies are:

Andy Dunnigan – Dobro, Vocals

Matthew Rieger – Guitar, Vocals

Jake Simpson – Fiddle, Vocals

Jean-Luc Davis – Upright Bass

Two Runner was formed in the fall of 2020 when neighbors Paige Anderson & Emilie Rose became friends and started playing music together. The duo quickly garnered national attention after being featured on GemsOnVHS. They have toured extensively for the last five years alongside celebrated acts such as Sierra Ferrel, Nick Shoulders, Watchhouse, and many others.

Anderson, no stranger to the road, grew up in a touring family bluegrass band. After joining Chuck Ragan’s “Revival Tour” as a teenager, she discovered the power of raw, honest songwriting and took it to heart.

Their debut album, Gar Hole Records release, “Modern Cowboy” was met with national acclaim, as well as their premiere “Late Dinner”.

In 2025 the band grew to include multi-instrumentalist Lucas Lawson to accommodate the band’s ever evolving and innovating sound.

Their second full-length album will be released on Gar Hole Records in Summer 2026.
