Benny Hagerty

Benny Hagerty plays folk, blues, and bluegrass like a man who has no interest in being anything other than exactly himself.

Benny Hagerty picked up a guitar at thirteen and never really put it back down. The Greenville singer-songwriter plays Appalachian folk and blues — intimate and acoustic. He spent years playing local restaurants and private events before going full-time in 2024. Debut single "Quittin’ Time" in March of that year. "Gamblin’ Blues" two months later.

Darby Wilcox and the Peep Show

Ten years deep in the Upstate scene with a debut album that sounds like a decade's worth of living distilled into something raw and unhurried — Darby Wilcox is the real thing.

Darby Wilcox has been doing this for a decade in Greenville, and she has earned every bit of the praise she gets. The singer-songwriter and self-proclaimed Mayor of Babetown — a community she founded on the radically simple premise of babes supporting babes — plays that Americana which pulls directly from the Joss Stone and Janis Joplin end of the dial: soulful, direct, tender. Usually found with The Peep Show backing her up the way a good band should, dynamically flowing as one. HerDebut album 11:11 in 2018. EP It's OK in 2023. Fall for Greenville. The Brooks Center. The Radio Room. A decade of showing up and meaning it, and she's still just getting started.

Members: Darby Wilcox (vocals, guitar) with The Peep Show
