Artist Lineup

Graham Winchester

Graham Winchester is a Memphis born and raised songwriter, producer, engineer and multi-instrumentalist. He runs a home studio called “Winchester Recording” and also assists with sessions at Sun Studio, where he’s also worked as a tour guide for the last 9 years. As a live music performer, he has played in many staple outfits of the Bluff City, including Turnstyles, Jack Oblivian, Reigning Sound, The Compulsive Gamblers, Devil Train, Tennessee Screamers, The MDs, Arc of Quasar, The Sheiks, and The Silver Broncos. Performing in these groups has taken him on 7 tours of Europe and to various cities in the US.

Kin to the late professional songwriter Jesse Winchester, Graham takes a lot of influence from his musical lineage. As a solo artist, Winchester likes to combine his love of singer/songwriter styles with his passion for a variety of genres, including garage rock, surf rock, rockabilly, classic country, and 50’s/60’s rock 'n’ roll.

Winchester has released multiple singles throughout his career, as well as three full-length records. In 2026, he will be releasing a 4th solo record titled “Feelin’ Like Dealin.”

Aybil

Aybil is a singer-songwriter from Memphis, Tennessee. Early on, Aybil's family moved to Tulsa, OK, and while coping with two very different worlds, they began writing about friendship and solitude. Aybil comes from a writing family and like many '90s babies who grew up in the church, they listened to many gospel powerhouses and was also obsessed with musicals from the '40s, '50s, and '60s. The union of those voices and pens shaped Aybil's perception of what music should be. "I think I've been given a gift to share my perspective, and I hope if you listen, the songs leave you in a place of reflection, healing, and empowerment."

Curtis B. Scott

Born and raised in "the 901", Curtis B. Scott is a Memphis-based songwriter who aims to share a bit of that Mississippi river coursing through his veins. His music is a mix of blues, folk, soul, and country that can't be separated.
