All Them Witches is a versatile quartet that thrives on contrast, spanning genres from neo-psychedelic rock to blues to stoner metal. There is a rawness in the group’s sound that will sweep you up in gusts of guitar riffs and belting vocals. Members Ben McLeod (guitar), Charles Michael Parks Jr. (bass/vocals), Robby Staebler (drums) and Allan Van Cleave (keys) have hit the road touring since the band’s inception in 2012, performing at festivals including Voodoo Music + Arts, Bonnaroo and Shaky Knees. They have also toured with associated acts Mastodon, Ghost and Primus. Opening for this band is The Swell Fellas, a power trio inspired by the ups and downs of their personal lives playing modern psychedelic rock. Both acts are based in Nashville with albums released in 2020 and singles dropped this year.
