“When listening to Fox for the first time, one might wonder, how can a young woman make a violin sound so good?” – Cityview Magazine
Deemed “fiddler extraordinaire” in Cityview Magazine, Kathryn Fox is a DownBeat award winning artist. She played on the Grammy-nominated track “All My Tomorrows” with Kate McGarry. Kathryn toured internationally with fiddle troupe, Barrage 8, with shows in Europe, the U.S. and Canada.

Cam Cool is an Indie Rock duo based out of Nashville, TN. The duo is composed of identical twins Aaron and Tyler Cage – who have played under the alias for four years and have played music together their entire lives. Cam Cool is a name borrowed from a friend in university, a satirical attempt to perform and promote their music as a singular individual – being two people who look and sound identical.
Cameron’s music attempts to be as light hearted as their name, driven by heartfelt lyricism laced with satire, delivered by full live takes and paired sonically with raw and gritty instrumentation – inspired by indie powerhouses such as The National, Blake Mills, and Alex G. The duo plans to release their debut album in 2025.
