AC Entertainment The Used bring their screamo-tinged brand of post-hardcore to the stage every time they play. Whether it's on the Warped Tour, at Ozzfest or Projekt Revolution alongside Linkin Park and Snoop Dogg, or in the dingiest clubs imaginable, they bring the heat and the heavy.
Outside of the band, McCracken has also lent his v...ocals to the punk rock drum troupe Street Drum Corps. The live CD/DVD Berth appeared in February 2007 to tide over fans a bit longer until the proper full-length, Lies for the Liars, came out in May. Though he didn't perform on the record, drummer Dan Whitesides joined the band as an official member just in time for the supporting tour.

The group's fourth full-length album, Artwork, was produced by Matt Squire (Panic at the Disco) and released on Reprise in 2009. To say it rocks, is an understatement. This will be a kickass nght.

AC Entertainment "Long before he was an Oscar nominee, Ryan Bingham was a real-life cowboy, a handsome roughneck living out his own version of a Cormac McCarthy novel." - Rolling Stone.

Ryan Bingham is the remarkable singer-songwriter who recently picked up an Oscar for the song "The Weary Kind" (Theme from Crazy Heart) which he co-wrot...e with T-Bone Burnett. Bingham also made his acting debut in the film, performing "I Don't Know."

The accolades and praise for his work intensified with the release of his Lost Highway album, Mescalito, which earned raves in The Washington Post, Esquire and Black Book, which noted "Bingham forces you to hang on his every word." In 2009, Ryan appeared on the acclaimed PBS series Austin City Limits with a 30-minute set that featured the first television performances of "Snake Eyes" and "Tell My Mother I Miss Her So" from Roadhouse Sun. Both albums were produced by former Black Crowes guitarist Marc Ford. Bingham and his band, The Dead Horses (Matthew Smith/drums, Corby Schaub/guitar, and Elijah Ford/bass) have appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, AUSTIN CITY LIMITS, and The Late Show with David Letterman.

AC Entertainment Taking influences from hip-hop, rock and experimental electronic genres, The Glitch Mob have crafted a new form of futuristic dance music. Their wicked combination of ferocious bass, neck-snapping drums and complex melodies has earned them a worldwide grassroots fanbase. What started as a loose affiliation soon stuck a...s edIT, Ooah and Boreta found themselves frequently playing the same shows, and eventually collaborating during sets. Their live performance is a complete reimagination of the laptop DJ paradigm as they flow like a seasoned jazz trio – each taking the lead at intuitive moments – layering chords, vocal snippets and drum patterns into an overwhelming digital wall of sound.

What has resulted is the very distinct Glitch Mob aesthetic, blending the head-nod factor of hip-hop tempos with outrageous basslines and microscopic production trimmings. 2009 saw the release of Glitch Mob remixes for TV On The Radio and STS9, cementing their reputation for jaw-dropping, cutting-edge production. The Glitch Mob plan to release their debut full length album in early 2010.

AC Entertainment The Carolina Chocolate Drops are a group of young African-American stringband musicians that have come to together to play the rich tradition of fiddle and banjo music in Carolinas’ piedmont. Rhiannon Giddens and Justin Robinson both hail from the green hills of the North Carolina Piedmont while Dom Flemons is native t...o sunny Arizona. Although they have diverse musical backgrounds, they draw their musical heritage from the foothills of the North and South Carolina. Under the tutelage of Joe Thompson, said to be the last black traditional string band player, of Mebane, NC, they strive to carry on the long standing traditional music of the black and white communities.

AC Entertainment Formed by Frames frontman Glen Hansard and Czech songstress Marketa Irglova, the Swell Season are a songwriting duo with a penchant for vocal harmonies and acoustic-based songcraft. The pop/rock twosome released their self-titled debut in 2006, just after the appearance of the Frames' sixth effort, The Cost. Hansard an...d Irglova also appeared as working-class immigrants in the popular Irish movie Once, which was presented at the Sundance Film Festival in 2007. The following year, the duo received an Academy Award for Best Original Song for the film's hit single, "Falling Slowly," and the Swell Season's popularity surged as a result. Their newest album is entitled "Strict Joy."
