RXR Fest just would not be complete without The Bank Walkers! From Alexander City, these guys have been a part of RXR since the beginning! They are super entertaining and their playlist is all over the place, from the Black Crows and Allman Brothers to The Band and more! Catch the Bank Walkers when they take the Green Stage at 6:30!
Raised in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains of South Carolina, Sam Burchfield was brought up on Appalachian music: folk, gospel, country and southern soul. The young songwriter draws on these roots with a deep lyrical honesty that carries the tradition of folk music forward. Burchfield’s latest album, ‘Graveyard Flower’, seeks to reconnect to the Appalachian roots that raised him. In a world of cell phones and internet distractions, this body of work beckons the listener to plant their feet firmly in the soil. Reconnect to the land, reconnect to each other; ‘Graveyard Flower’ is honest music. Catch Sam when he takes the stage at 8.
Then on Saturday, the greatness continues!
We’ll start the night at 6:30 with Andrew Weaver! Andrew was with us in 2019, but a lot has happened since then!
The 21-year-old producer and singer-songwriter finds inspiration from a wide variety of alternative and pop influences to construct his indie pop sound. Andrew first caught attention by appearing on the TV show “American Idol” back in 2018. After receiving a golden ticket and going to Hollywood, Weaver returned back to Atlanta to construct a sound of his own. Through collaboration with various Billboard charting producers and grammy nominated artists, (Nappy Roots, Metro Marrs) he has a collection of EP’s and singles available on all streaming services. Soon to come is Weaver’s self-engineered, executive-produced, and self-written EP titled “Clarity” releasing later in 2023.
At 8:00 Easy Honey takes over! Easy Honey was born out of the small-town innocent college days: the days of walking home under the starry night, and springing under the watchful eye of sunny graveyards, Dairy Queens, and neo-Gothic cathedrals. Easy Honey’s witty melodies dotted with catchy hooks serve as anthems of nostalgia for their indie rock audience of daydreamers and nightseekers. Drawing inspiration from the originality and attitude of The Kinks, The Replacements, and Radiohead, the band’s raucous yet sentimental live show exemplifies the realness that people crave in a post covid/Internet-driven world.
The band’s latest single, Orbiter, landed itself on numerous popular playlists including Spotify’s curated ‘Grade A’, and precedes more releases from the band under the direction of producer Wolfgang Zimmerman (Band of Horses, Susto). Co-frontmen Darby McGlone (vocals, guitar) and Selby Austin (vocals, guitar) share writing and singing duties, while Charlie Holt (drums, vocals) and Webster Austin (bass, vocals) provide a rhythm section which complements the personified, interwoven electric guitars. When not touring, the band lives in Charleston, SC, leading the way in the rapidly growing music scene… and surfing Folly Beach when home.
