ALI BOYCE


Ali writes pop-influenced folk music with an emphasis on luscious vocal melodies and self-reflective storytelling.

BEN JOHNSON


A tested blend of folk, blues, and country, singing for the ones who came before him, Ben Johnson takes songwriting tradition to the edges of a western dream.

BLAIR BORAX


With vocal stylings reminiscent of 1920s jazz, songwriting unafraid to tackle the taboo, and pop melodies that stay with you for days, Blair Borax sings tender folk-pop songs to make you feel less alone.

BRENNA LARSEN


Brenna Larsen is a PDX based performer and songwriter crafting catchy and creative music that everyone can relate and groove to.

C. A. CORBELL


Seeing Nashville as the songwriter’s Death Star, Corbell’s obscure jedi-songmaker path has led from busking in New Orleans to composing indie opera in Portland to crafting local-history folk songs in Washougal.

EVAN HATHAWAY AND LUKAS JOHNSON


The duo of Evan and Lukas plays a mix of high-energy, toe-tappin’ music, punctuated by heartfelt storytelling songs that are saturated with vocal harmony.

GINA DENOBLE


Gina delivers deep, resonant, sultry vocals accompanied by an acoustic guitar, creating lyric-driven, soulful pop-folk with occasional blues elements.

JAMES COOK


A producer of myriad musical projects and memories with his group Trashcan Joe, James Cook’s quieter lyrical work as a solo songwriter features four-string tenor guitar, humor, and poetry.

JIM WARFORD


With roots in Cumberland Gap, KY, Jim Warford has been performing and writing folk, Americana, bluegrass, swing, blues, and rock music for over 50 years.

KENDALL LUJAN


Kendall Lujan’s indie-operatic voice stratifies songs through octave runs, making moody, melodic folk rock.

MARCUS ANGELONI


With his Goodtime Medicine Show, Marcus makes outlaw country, folk, blues, and jazz music spiked with a goood time for all.

RAVEN FABLES


The lyrical-songwriting collaboration of Stephanie and Christopher Corbell is unequal parts neo-classical darkwave, post-punk poetics, sylvan elf magic, and folksy Americana.

SUNNY PACHE


Sunny Pache plays a variety of folk sounding tunes inspired by his worldly travels and people he’s met on that way.

TEVIS HODGE JR.


Born in Virginia, and inspired by his Southern Black heritage, Tevis Hodge Jr. began playing blues at the age of 12 (guitar at 6) and brings the traditions of his heritage to life in his original songs.

THE MOONSHINE


The Moonshine has crafted a style all their own based on applying traditional stringband techniques to the unconventional, yet instantly familiar writing of Michael Gerard Levasseur.

YOUR STRANGE COMPANIONS


Led by David E. Lane in the mode of the Sun Studios combos of old, the work of Your Strange Companions can best be described as “thinking songs for the drinking man, and vice versa.”
