Artist Lineup

Keer

Born and raised in the Home of the Blues, Keer is a prolific singer-songwriter and performer in the vibrant Memphis music community. 

She is an explorer in every sense of the word, a nomad of life. Her music is a reflection of her own wanderlust, a diary of personal discovery. The musical genres Keer works in reflect her own curiosity, ranging from soulful ballads to bold punk rock moments. She refuses to be easily understood.

Keer is a member of the Music Export Memphis 2026 Ambassador Access Cohort. She performs solo, in a duo, and in an eponymous band. Keer has placed in a statewide singing competition, won a local songwriting award, and has appeared on Radio Memphis, We Are Memphis, WYXR, and WEVL.

Frank McLallen

After two decades as one of Memphis’s most trusted sidemen (Toured and played with Model Zero, Ex-Cult, The Sheiks, Jack Oblivian, Harlan T Bobo, LIMES, Duwayne Burnside, David Kimbrough Jr., and King Louie’s Loose Diamonds), Frank McLallen is stepping into the spotlight with Extra Eyes, his first full-length solo album out since September 5th on Red Curtain Records. On this album, McLallen emerges as a songwriter whose voice balances vulnerability with poise, somewhere between the stark intimacy of Will Oldham, the luminous pop sensibility of Big Star, the surrealist wit of Robyn Hitchcock, and the sleek clarity of Role Model.

Extra Eyes is a vibrant, eclectic collection that showcases McLallen’s expansive creativity and distinctive voice. Sonically, it weaves together power pop, psychedelia, and surrealist rock, while lyrically, its through-line is honesty. 

Deanna Dixon

Deanna Dixon writes songs that shimmer between raw honesty and dream-like imagination. Blending pop energy with soulful storytelling, her music invites listeners into a world where chaos and beauty dance side-by-side. With her debut single "Electric Fairy," she turns lived experience into a powerful anthem—equal parts vulnerable, defiant, and unforgettable. From the streets of Memphis to stages yet to come, Deanna creates music that feels alive, electric, and deeply human.
