The Human Condition is to be drawn to others; we bevy together like the, ever so graceful, swan. Music breaks the puppet strings, leaving the master to ponder on the elaboration of said condition. Only to find, we grow from here. Coming together to experience it together... SERENITY. It's hard to imagine going back under oppression after the sweet taste of autonomy. Eliminate even a thread of that possibility.

The self-described black sheep of a family of classically-trained musicians, Russ Fitzgerald has used songwriting to make sense of life since 1978.  His Macon, Georgia cult roots-rock band The Deadbeats was a key act in the mid-1980s Central Georgia music scene.  At the time of his solo acoustic debut in 1989, he was described in The Macon Telegraph as "a guitar nut [who] leans toward rockabilly, blues, brilliant folk rock [with] a distinct love of the music of Richard Thompson and The Blasters."  In the years since, he has absorbed a dizzying array of musical influences and made them his own while playing venues including dive bars, coffee shops, bookstores, live-streamed guitar pulls, festivals and songwriter showcases.
When asked to describe his music, he said, “I’ve been grappling for decades with that question.  I think of it as ‘Bare-Knuckle Acoustic Trans-Atlantic Americana,’ but really it’s all about trying to write songs that move people, and preferably with a song that you can’t pin down which decade it comes from.”

Thalassophobia is a Deathcore/Progressive Metalcore project first started in 2019 by lead guitarist Brad Alfers. It consists of heavily distorted breakdowns, melodic riffs/solos with tremolo picking￼ to take your breath away with the dark, overwhelming sensation that gives you the fear of the deep.
