Having released two albums on County Wide Records and having played hundreds of shows on the east coast, Chamomile and Whiskey is carving out a unique place for themselves on the Americana scene.  Much of their success can be attributed to their passionate and energetic live performance. A Chamomile and Whiskey show is a rowdy affair, often sending the sounds of whiskey being spilled, boots stomping, and fans howling towards the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Ramsey - "See You Bleed"


Check out "See You Bleed" from Ramsey.

Los Angeles experimental pop visionary Ramsey possesses a uniquely dark and emotive vocal style that quickly separates her from her contemporaries. Ramsey has been pushing out music almost constantly in recent months, amassing hundreds of thousands of Soundcloud listens as the public spread her work. Following the realm of Glass Animals, Portishead, and Phantogram, Ramsey embodies all influences within her own music, choosing to write and produce all her own work. 
Girlunderground says "What can only be described as a scratch within the throat, Ramsey uses this as a weapon upon delivery to pull a listener in, as she manipulates sounds and emotions, embedded with her oddity of sexual tension."
