HAYLEY THOMPSON-KING
Newsweek has described her music as “wide-reaching sonics with palpable psychodrama” expressive of the “battle between the artist and the voices in her head.” The sonic influences in Hayley Thompson-King’s music range from garage rock to Americana to art music. Her debut solo album, Psychotic Melancholia, was lauded by Paste Magazine as “a jaw-dropping exposition that celebrates the entire cannon of rock and roll’s energy.” And American Standard Time praised her latest album, Sororicide (produced by Sean Slade) as “fuzzy as Memphis rock, scuzzy as L.A. punk…” Hayley has toured internationally, appearing on bills with Jason Isbell, Andrew WK, Hurray for The Riff Raff, Frank Turner, and Jimmy Dale Gilmore and Dave Alvin among others. Her music has been heard in film and television, including Marielle Heller’s Diary of a Teenage Girl starring Kristen Wiig. In addition to her solo work, she is the former singer of Major Stars – appearing on the albums Motion Set (Drag City) and Decibels of Gratitude (Important Records). Hayley is an Associate Professor of Voice at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA.

JOEL THETFORD
Raised in the shadow of Billy Bob’s, one of Texas’s legendary honky tonks, Joel Thetford grew up in Fort Worth listening to the sounds of classic country radio and the wide variety of rock and roll, blues, and folk music that the Texas scene provided. His career as a bull-rider landed him eventually in Stephenville, where the Texas Country scene was booming. With acts like Gary Stewart, Jerry Jeff Walker, and Robert Earl Keen, making regular stops in town, those were Joel’s earliest and strongest influences as he began writing songs.
Joel Thetford has become a fixture in the songwriting community and has been featured as supporting act for national headliners such as Dwight Yoakam, Alabama, Shooter Jennings, Asleep At The Wheel, James McMurtry, Sarah Shook & the Disarmers, Hayley Thompson-King, The Alternate Roots, Barns Courtney, and many more. Joel has also appeared at the Heart Soul & Substance Festival, Sunaana Winter Music Festival, and AllRoads Music Festival.
