2026 LINEUP

WB SIMS

WB Sims has emerged from the white sand dunes of coastal Alabama as a honky tonk force to be reckoned with. Somewhere between the outlaw energy of Hank Williams Jr and the wry wit of Toby Keith and Jimmy Buffett, WB has made a name for himself in saloons and roadhouses across the Gulf Coast with tequila soaked originals such as “Baldwin County Cougar Problem” and “What I Deserve.” Sims has played everywhere from Florida to Minnesota, opened for Grammy-winning artists, and was the featured performer for the 2022 TicketSmarter Bowl game by ESPN. He is now on a mission to ensure that no Boot goes un-Scooted and that those Family Traditions continue to be broken.

SARA BUG

Born in Mississippi, raised in Louisiana, stuck in Nashville, Bug is a genre-bending songwriter from the Gulf Coast and has been featured on Pitchfork and Radio Trop Rock. Described by Pitchfork as “absolutely luminous at the intersection of indie and alt-country”, Bug combines a dynamic mix of old-school country nostalgia, memioric songwriting, and playful Gulf Coast escapism.
