Derrick Harriell

Derrick Harriell’s latest poetry collection is Stripper in Wonderland (LSU Press). These percussive poems move from birth to death, funk to hip-hop, and racism to religion as Harriell explores the life of a modern black man transplanted from the American Midwest to the Deep South. Harriell directs the Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing program at the University of Mississippi. His previous collections of poetry include Cotton (2010), and Ropes, which won the 2014 Poetry Award from the Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters.

Maryland-native Hannah Gill and The Hours blend 70s lo-fi pop and rock with contemporary soul and blues. Songwriter/vocalist Gill’s soulful, lush vocals are set off by Brad Hammonds’ jazzy arrangements and improvisational guitar. Hannah Gill and The Hours’ have just released a new five-song EP, Lost in Words, called by one reviewer, “the stuff alternative pop dreams are made of.” The band’s previous EP is, The Water (Footnote Records).
Marcus Mookie Cartwright

Marcus “Mookie” Cartwright is a blues musician originally from Stuttgart, Arkansas now based in Louisiana. Cartwright began as teenage prodigy learning Howlin Wolf songs at the knee of Hubert Sumlin. He now moves easily between acoustic and electric blues styles. His Marcus “Mookie” Cartwright Band appears widely on the festival circuit and showcases Cartwright’s formidable guitar skills.
