OTHERFEST LINEUP 2012
CONFIRMED: Adam Faucett
Back for his second Otherfest performance, from Little Rock, Adam Faucett is fast becoming a regional self-made touring favorite. His haunting voice and intricate guitar fingerings in the minor key come from somewhere deep down inside. His lyrics are poetry. His songs get you way deep down to the marrow.
OTHERFEST LINEUP 2012
CONFIRMED: Amalgamation
Over the past four years Amalgamation has revived the creative element of the Mississippi Delta in the unexpected manifestation of jazz and rock.The term Amalgamation reflects the band members’ wide range of musical styles that combine to create their unmistakable sound. The motley members contribute Jazz, Rock, Blues, and Pop influences that fuse to form a new and interesting amalgam of sound. Amalgamation’s music is edgy and complex, spanning dynamically from whispering pianos to screaming fortes. Although there are centralized concepts and melodies, the band’s original compositions are expressively based around group and individual improvisation. The spontaneous nature of their music makes each performance engaging, exciting and uniquely different from the next. The band has cultivated their art in such a manner to allow them to reach listeners of all walks of life who have embraced the unlikely, yet passionate sound of this intrepid ensemble. In just the four years of the band’s existence, Amalgamation has released their debut EP “Therefore” (2009) and recently recorded their forthcoming full-length album “Factual Reality” (Spring 2012).

CONFIRMED: Callooh! Callay!
With a reputation for going above and beyond the standards for a fantastic performance, the Tuscaloosa, Alabama based band, Callooh! Callay! returns for another Otherfest. With a sound that can only be described as a gritty raucous of uplifting southern noise pop, Callooh! Callay! exudes live energy that is force to reckoned with. Propelled with a youthful energy and an obvious joy, Callooh! Callay!’s live show can only be described as one that comes close to that of a religious experience.

CONFIRMED: Caleb Chambers
Hailing from just down the road in Greenville, MS, Caleb Chambers brings his own bright, indie pop sound to Cleveland and to this year’s Otherfest! With just his characteristic glasses and an acoustic guitar in tow, Caleb commands the stage and charismatically croons an array of original acoustic compositions and carefully-selected covers from artists such as the Shins and Kevin Devine.

OTHERFEST LINEUP 2012
CONFIRMED: May The Peace Of The Sea Be With You
Returning to Otherfest this year is the self-described “nautical thrash-folk” four-piece, May the Peace of the Sea Be With You. This band’s truly unique sound conjures images of life on the Mississippi river set to a choir of loud, crunchy guitar and electric mandolin, and sang with melodies that remind one of an old sea chanty. May The Peace of the Sea Be With You’s high energy music and performance provides an exciting, raucous of a show that can stir the feet to dancing.
