HAVEN SLAY
Born and mostly raised in the warm Gulf Coast city of Pensacola, Florida, Haven Slay grew up surrounded by music. She spent most of the year with her mom in Florida and summers traveling with her dad, soaking in the sounds and sights of places like Virginia Beach, VA, Silver Spring, MD, Centennial, CO, and Denver, CO. This traveling lifestyle gave her a wide lens on the world—and the stages that music could reach.
THOMAS TIBBS
Born and raised for the first 10 years of my life in north east Kentucky which is where I first picked up the guitar. My dad has been a Baptist preacher my whole life and in bluegrass country all the churches play guitars and banjos etc. so the music leader got me in to playing right before my family moved to Louisiana. After that I was already hooked so it was YouTube learning and figuring it it out for the next 6 years. By the time I got out of high school I was playing at every bon fire and party we had and got to play in a few of the local bars with the bands every now and then, and had started writing songs. I went in to the oilfields as soon as I got out of school and was working the the Tullos fields when I got my first paid gig in 2018. That gig turned in to playing for the same bar a few months in a row, playing smaller events on the lakes and marinas and anywhere else they would let me play. When COVID hit everything came to a grinding halt. The bars closed, the oil bottomed out and we all got layed off which led to getting rid of most of my equipment to make ends meet, but I always kept a guitar and kept writing. By the time the lockdowns were over I had already managed to get on a rig in New Mexico and was focused on advancing my career more than getting back in to music. That went on until 2025. In January of 2025 I had met some people that had made great careers in music, some playing alongside legendary artists like Hank jr. and Alan Jackson, others working as songwriters that had gotten cut by the biggest labels and made it on billboard charts and they were all telling me to pursue my music. That’s what I decided to do, I got back in to the scene and by July of 25 I was looking at 17 gigs for the month and didn’t know how in the world I was gonna be able to play all of the shows as well as continue to run the production of an oil company, so I decided to make the dive and left the day job and went out as an independent full time musician for the first time. Since then I have been nothing short of blessed beyond measure. I’ve been able to make a living playing shows all over the state of Louisiana and venturing in to Mississippi and Texas playing at events that I couldn’t believe like festival dé international in lafeyette and the Toyota Music Factory in Irving Texas. I believe this is still just the beginning of what’s going to be an unbelievable journey and I’m looking forward to every second of being able to bring joy to my fans through my music!
