Lylak - It’s a Drag @redbarnradiotv

Uploaded April 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

Lylak, a name that hints at color and nature, founder lead vocalist Gideon Maki says they make a point to play with heart and leave the stage a bit more beautiful than they found it. The indie rock quartet, based in Lexington Kentucly, started in 2015 as a solo project of Gideon's, gradually gaining members and honing their sound. The unique musical backgrounds of the members mix up an eclectic blend of influences, which is a boon for the listener. Interweaving vocals, from Maki and Elizabeth Varnado (vocals/violin/guitar), present approachable lyrics that explore the lighter and darker aspects of life and love, memory and friendship.

Taylor Hollingsworth - Ring Around Saturn

$Stripmall Ballads - Rabbits Stripmall Ballads is the haunted, dust-blown project of Phillips Saylor Wisor, a songwriter wandering the backroads between myth and memory. Drawing comparisons to Neil Young, Bonnie “Prince” Billy, and Maybelle Carter, his work lives in the tension between Appalachian tradition and modern disillusionment—aching with spectral beauty, dry wit, and a bone-deep sense of longing. From early lo-fi masterworks like Since Jimmy Died to the sparse, cinematic ache of Distant, his songs are slow-burning dispatches from the heart of a fractured America—where ghosts speak in minor chords and resistance sounds like a hymn. Stripmall Ballads doesn’t just sing about forgotten places—it sings from them. Phillips Saylor Wisor – aka STRIPMALL BALLADS – is a Maryland-based rollicking musical rambler, rife with story-songs rich in emotion and hardihood. His brand of folk music sings the heartbreaking ballads of old brick buildings, vacant lots, and rustbelt towns. Of third shift papas, flood plains, and long drives through nowhere towns. He’s boots on the ground, guitar across the body, ever observing the ugly mundane mixed with the beautiful chaos of this place we trample upon on the daily. He’s shared stages with Tommy Prine, John R. Miller, Danny Barnes, Les Claypool, The Be Good Tanyas, Willy Tea Taylor, just to name a few. redbarnradio #americana #rootsmusic #bluegrass #livemusic #country #folk #kentuckyradio #stripmallballads #folkband #altcountry #countryrock #guitar #flatpickin #mandolin #country #banjo$
