The Harsh Truth is Talon Vick(Keys), Nate Walker(Vox/Rhythm), Colin O’Keefe(Bass), Joe Lansburg(Lead Guitar), and Andrew Lasseter(Drums).

Dempsey is a five piece hailing from Columbia, SC. Their affinity for pop riffs and concise arrangements ooze west coast vibes.

Mario McClean sports an impressive vibrato and finely mixes soulful vocals with paired back instrumentation. You may settle into the John Legend vibe but don’t forget this guy lists Radiohead and James Blake as some of his influences.
