Bdl BIG DADDY LOVE brings a natural blend of grass, roots and rock to the emerging North Carolina music scene. With fiery vocals, sweet-sugary harmonies, authentic song-craft, and undeniable musicianship, the quintet delivers high-energy performances comprised of their own brand of good-time music. It is the startling power of these live shows that resonate with their audience. Genuine and intensely personal lyrics captivate and connect. Winner of the prestigious "Under the Radar" competition at FloydFest 2010, they took to multiple stages there this year and made it known that "you need to check these guys out!" Essentially organic in both disposition and composition, Big Daddy Love is a five-piece band with a unique and natural blend of rock, roots and grass that they call ‘Appalachian Rock’.

Mva THE INTERNATIONALS was formed in 2008 by Cumming, GA, natives Jody Abernathy and Mark Mundy to showcase their original country music. Whether it’s a packed three-night run at The Bluebird Cafe, a sold-out opening slot with Jeffrey Steel at Nashville’s 3rd & Lindley, or a raucus night at one of Atlanta’s honky tonk bars, The Internationals deliver a show loaded with superior musicianship, compelling songs, and strong vocals, perfectly in keeping with the long tradition of American country music. This five-piece band features Mark Van Allen (Sugarland, Blueground Undergrass) on the pedal steel/lap steel and is an ideal compliment to the North Carolina Americana sounds of Big Daddy Love & Evergreen.

Robert Eustis

Flyin' High with Little King Records

A founding member of Desoto Street Band, Robert Eustis grew up in Uptown New Orleans on New Orleans R & B and rock and roll. He played ukulele and baritone ukulele while in grade school and entertained at family and school events. His interest in acoustic music grew while he was in college in Colorado. He started to hang out at clubs in Denver's Lodo - Lower Downtown. He listened to Texas singers/song writers Steve Fromhotz, Dan McCrimmon and Jerry Jeff Walker.

After his return to New Orleans, Robert immersed himself in the local piano scene, absorbing the genius of James Booker at the Maple Leaf Bar and at Toulouse Theater, before, after and during intermission of the stage production "One Mo' Time."

Robert served as chairman of WWOZ Radio during the mid 1980s and was instrumental in relocating the station from the second floor of Tipitina's to Louis Armstrong Park.

During the early 1990s, the muse struck and he began studying with guitar virtuoso John Rankin. The muse was fed by further study with Jorma Kaukonen, Martin Simpson and Steve James.

Robert plays several instruments including guitar, slide guitar, mandolin, lap steel, and bouzouki. He sings and writes music, lyrics and arranges tunes.

Flyin' High is Robert's debut solo release and we are proud to have him on little king records.
