Jeff McLeod of Montgomery, AL, is a DIY improviser, experimentalist and multi-instrumentalist with a 20-year history of fiercely supporting and creating independent music in the Southeastern United States. Jeff is "not a hustler or businessman, and is not too keen on bios or tooting his own horn." His personal belief is that the music is the only thing that is important. His discography and collaborations are far too lengthy to list here, but are in ever-changing growing statuses at his personal website (jeffmcleod.net). Jeff thrives upon personal contact and interaction with other musicians and listeners alike, so just come see him play. Jeff's performances in Athens on WUOG's Live in the Lobby on Oct. 7 (7pm) and at Floorspace will feature the groundbreaking Moog guitar.

Killick, of Athens, GA explores the edges of possibility in sound with the H'arpeggione, an 18-string plucked and bowed hybrid by California luthier Fred Carlson. Balancing sonic focus with temporal openness, Killick guides deep into the heart of beauty to access ancient knowledge, following the muse where the spirits roam. His music is Appalachian Trance Metal, a dynamic body/soul/mind system. Inspired by the Fugates of Troublesome Creek, Smurfs, and colloidal silver overuse, Killick is on a lifelong mission to turn a sizeable swatch of his skin blue. Blue is the color of the sky, water, the throat chakra, and is also known as the color of desperation.
