Music Line-Up
RBTS WIN
RBTS WIN is a sample-based/psych-pop production duo heavily influenced by the sounds of soul and R&B. The band is known for their emotionally charged live performances using a feast of analog synthesizers, drum machines, guitars and vocals. The music they create has also been described as dark wave or chill-hop. The group formed in 2008 in Asheville, NC, and has played with the likes of Black Moth Super Rainbow, Prefuse 73, Nite Jewel, Mount Kimbie, Blue Sky Black Death, Tanlines, MillionYoung, The Sounds, Marley Carroll, Foreign Exchange, Polyphonic, and more.
The Tarlatans
Based out of Charleston, SC, Tarlatans are an engaging trio with indie/alternative instrumentation and pop sensibility. Their songs possess an anxious optimism that has attracted followers all over the southeast. They have worked alongside Jay Clifford (Jump, Little Children) and G. Love in past albums and are currently recording their third release. The band made their national festival debut this past June (2014) at Wakarusa, and has received regional air play for past singles at numerous radio stations.
