Nick Dittmeier—frontman of Nick Dittmeier & the Sawdusters—brings a sound that lives somewhere between heartland rock, southern soul, and back-porch storytelling. His songs feel lived-in… like they’ve been shaped by long drives, hard truths, and the kind of nights you don’t forget. It’s not polished for radio—it’s honest, gritty, and unmistakably real.
Based out of Southern Indiana, Dittmeier has built a reputation across the Midwest and beyond as one of the most compelling independent voices in roots music today. Whether he’s delivering a slow-burning ballad or a full-band, foot-stomping anthem, there’s a weight and authenticity to his music that cuts through immediately.

Taylor Hernly
An Indiana native, Hernly spent years behind the drum kit touring with artists like Josh Morningstar, David Allan Coe, and Gary West before stepping out front as a songwriter and performer. That foundation shows up in every song—there’s grit, rhythm, and a sense that these stories have actually been lived.
Blending folk, rock, and country into a sound that’s entirely his own, Hernly delivers songs that hit hard and stick with you. Whether it’s stripped-down and intimate or full of energy, his live show pulls you in and doesn’t let go.
Now emerging as one of the most compelling independent artists in the region, Hernly blends folk, rock, and country into something uniquely his own—raw, dynamic, and impossible to pin down. His debut album Sidewalk Preacher helped put him on the map, earning multiple nominations at the Josie Music Awards and building a growing, loyal fanbase across the Midwest and beyond.

Scott Parkhurst
Best known as the frontman of The Snakehandlers, Parkhurst built his reputation in the Midwest playing a raw blend of blues, rock, and Americana that feels equal parts roadhouse and revival. As a vocalist, harmonica player, and slide guitarist, his sound pulls from deep roots—artists like Muddy Waters, The Band, and the Rolling Stones—while still feeling unmistakably his own.
Now stepping into a more stripped-down, solo setting, those same songs hit even harder. There’s nowhere to hide—and that’s exactly the point. It’s honest, powerful, and built for a room where people are there to really listen.

Known for haunting harmonies, intimate songwriting, and a sound once described as gothic, ethereal, and emotionally rich, the group has evolved while keeping the heart of what made their earlier work beloved.
