Melodime is a Virginia-based band with influences in both country and rock that features emotionally charged anthems, piano driven hooks, and energetic guitar solos for a dynamic, organic sound.

Melodime, featuring Brad Rhodes (lead vocals, guitar), Sammy Duis (piano, organ, bass), Tyler Duis (drums), and Jon Wiley (guitar, mandolin, dobro), has performed over 100+ shows annually throughout the continental United States, sharing the stage with such well-known acts as Sam Hunt, Eli Young Band, A Thousand Horses, and Sister Hazel.

The band has also left its mark internationally with performances in Mexico, Canada, and Europe, all while founding and running a charity, ‘Now I Play Along Too,’ which provides musical instruments and lessons to underprivileged children in the DC area, Florida, Nepal, Kenya, and Haiti.

The band is quickly becoming a fan-favorite in the festival scene, playing five consecutive Rock Boat cruises, as well as Musikfest, Herndon Festival, Mile of Music, and other events. In their hometown of Northern Virginia, the group has performed at popular venues such as The State Theatre, 9:30 Club, The Hamilton, and Baltimore Soundstage.

Melodime will be rolling out their new album in 3 EP installments starting with the first single “Song of the Summer” on June 29th.

Lonestar Sailing

Lonestar Sailing is a band out of Buffalo, NY with Nate Campese (drums), Matt Swanekamp (guitar), and the brothers Charles (guitar & vocals) and Phil Dusel (bass). It got started as a solo project for Charles in 2014 and quickly grew to a four member band the following year.

They released their first self titled album in 2014 (recorded and performed by Charles in a home studio) and went on to independently release a 5 song EP (recorded at California Road Studios) in August 2017.

The Lonestar Sailing sound crosses several genres including guitar driven rock, folk, blues and alternative.
