If Dracula owned a jazz club, The Secret Sounds would be the house band. Inspired by classic vocal jazz from the 1950s, vintage gothic horror, and Southern folklore, Britt Powell and Brennen Reece have curated a mix of standards and original compositions that will transport you to a nostalgic era that never was, where Jack Kerouac and Julie London recline in Eames loungers drinking artisan cocktails, and Mario Bava directs a film scripted by Flannery O’Connor.

Jackson Chambers, often referred to as “The Bard of Baldwin County”, is an up-and-coming musician; originally hailing from the Mobile-Tensaw delta, they're currently based out of Auburn, in part due to their anthropology degree requirements.

Raised in the hot morning dew of southern Alabama yard sales and the powered-sugar dusted walls of their family’s bakery, the Bard makes music to satisfy an eclectic mind. Starting in high-school as the frontman for what was “effectively a Green Day/Misfits cover band”, Jackson is a completely self-taught musician. Despite no formal training, the Bard has wasted no time in exercising their artistic muscles. Fans of lo-fi outsider musicians and folk-punk-revivalists will appreciate their carefully-crafted lyrics and occasional off-key yelps, while the old-time fogeys (and fogeys-at-heart) will enjoy their library of Americana standards. Although a country-goth by trade, the Bard is hard-pressed to stick to a genre for long, incorporating a diverse menagerie of weird instruments and deep-cut tributes. Their queer, high and lonesome lyrics, alongside their frantic, flamenco-punk guitar playing make them an instant favorite for many new fans.

At the tender age of eleven, Taylor, a latchkey kid with too much time and not enough supervision, stumbled upon a guitar and embarked on a music career that's spanned two decades. Amidst a whirlwind of punk, metal, trap, and hip hop influences, he unearthed a golden nugget of of wisdom: don’t be afraid to be yourself. Armed with this mantra, he catapulted into a kaleidoscopic DIY career that's as eclectic as his childhood playlist. From the downtuned riffs of alternative and metal to the heavy booming 808’s of trap and gentle spacial textures of ambient, Taylor's sonic playground knows no bounds. His latest brainchild, "Cults," is just the tip of the iceberg, as he dives headfirst into the hardcore scene with unbridled enthusiasm. With a repertoire spanning Electronic, Drum and Bass, Trap, Lofi, Ambient, Indie, and more, Taylor is a musical chameleon, shape-shifting through genres with ease. Yet, no matter the moniker or project, one thing remains constant: the unmistakable imprint of his personality is front and center in everything he does
