King Size

King Size: Music For the Soul is a group of stringed instrument wielding troubadours from the Central Ozarks. They have honed their craft for years fine tuning their sound with a blend of genres like classic rock, bluegrass, folk, and blues to make something altogether new. 

The Creek Rocks

The Creek Rocks are a folk group from the Ozarks led by banjoist Cindy Woolf and guitarist Mark Bilyeu. These longtime musical collaborators worked together on Cindy's three albums of original songs starting in 2005, they married in 2013, then established The Creek Rocks in 2015. Mark is a founding member of Ozarks family band Big Smith, with whom he toured and recorded for sixteen years.

Their debut release, “Wolf Hunter,” is a collection of sixteen folk songs from the Ozarks, drawn from the collections of folklorists Max Hunter of Springfield, Missouri, Mark’s hometown; and John Quincy Wolf of Batesville, Arkansas, where Cindy grew up. 

Woolf is well-known for her singular singing voice and enchanting performances of her original songs, Bilyeu for his distinct guitar sound and clever turn of phrase. Together they perform a mix of Ozark-inspired original songs and truly unique arrangements of traditional Ozark folksongs, from the fun and frivolous anthems of the hills to the hair-raising and harrowing ballads of the dark holler.

The Creek Rocks are the proud recipients of the 2024 Artist in Resonance Fellowship from the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. They are currently researching song collector Sidney Robertson Cowell and her 1936-37 trip to Missouri and Arkansas. A musical project based upon this research will be released in 2026.

Kristen and Dillon

Long time friends, Kristen Budde (Buddy) and Dillon Hamilton have been performing together as a duo for well over a decade and have a sound reminiscent of The Civil Wars, Fleetwood Mac and Chris and Morgane Stapleton as they weave together beautiful harmonies accompanied by acoustic guitar and fiddle. The duo performs Kristen’s original music which is best described as real and rooted Americana and feels like an honest conversation with a close friend. Kristen and Dillon also love to cover well-loved classics and usually have a few fun surprises up their sleeves!


 

Kristen and Dillon met in Cincinnati, OH in 2009 where they quickly realized their shared love for acoustic music and began their musical partnership. Kristen and her husband relocated to the Nashville, TN area in 2020 but Kristen and Dillon kept their musical partnership going strong. Dillon collaborated with Kristen on her first single release “Come Sit Down at My Table” in 2022 and also joined her on the release show tour in the midwest for her debut EP Begin Again in 2023 and mini summer tour in 2025.


 

Kristen has been named ‘One to Watch’ by the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI), advanced to the semi-finals of Tennessee Songwriter’s week annual competition and her latest single “Drive” received radio play in the US and Europe. This year Kristen plans to release her second album of seven new original songs and a companion book of short stories, both titled Lean Toward the Light.

 

Kristen and Dillon will be performing dates in 2026 to support this new project and can't wait to connect with old and new friends! 


 

Steve & Adie

Steve & Adie are a musical duo from the Ozarks. Collectively they have been entertaining audiences in and around the Ozarks for six decades and as a duo since 2023. Roots music steeped in folk and rock, blues and grass, with many originals bound to become your new favorites and covers ranging from Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson and John Prine to The Wood Brothers, Jason Isbel and Billy Strings. Steve & Adie will pour on the heart and the harmonies for a darn good time. Steve & Adie also perform with their band The County Line Up and with The Hamburger Cows from time to time in the greater Ozarks region.
