Yep Roc 20 follows the historic success of Yep Roc 15, which was held in 2012 and attracted over 20 label artists and 5000 attendees from across the country and the globe. Yep Roc 15 spawned artist collaborations and Yep Roc’s Completist Program, the label’s wildly successful fan-focused subscription service.

Founded by Glenn Dicker and Tor Hansen in 1997, Yep Roc Records is based in Hillsborough, NC and calls itself “the artist-driven label that refuses to be labeled” for good reason. With a strong belief in the vision of each of its artists, Yep Roc Records strives to serve each project based on its unique characteristics. Over 20 years, the label has released albums from North Carolina and international artists, including Dave Alvin, Robyn Hitchcock, Los Straitjackets, Nick Lowe, Tift Merritt, Aoife O’Donovan, Mandolin Orange, and many others. The label is exclusively distributed by Redeye.
