Alex Nahas loves limits. That may seem odd coming from Brooklyn N.Y.’s singer / multi- instrumentalist who plays the Chapman Stick and harbors a deep affinity for the likes of Peter Gabriel and Talk Talk, but Nahas’s solo project Bright Brown is a case study in how to wring more from less. As Bright Brown has evolved over the course of three LPs, two EPs and, most recently, the new EP / Illustrated Lyric Book, ‘And So...’, reflecting the post 2020 world seen through his dark but hopeful lens, Nahas has carved out a niche that slots into the same lineage as David Byrne, David Bowie, Daniel Lanois and Elvis Costello: all one-of-a-kind artists who shoehorned unorthodox approaches into highly digestible pop music. There’s the unmistakable common thread of a seasoned songwriter with a flair for mood, texture and atmosphere.Thoughtful and reflective with a knack for rendering outside-world concerns in the landscape of the personal, Bright Brown continues to venture into new frontiers, casting the Stick in a fresh light as a songwriter’s instrument with each successive song.

Gibson endorsed international artist, Camille Bloom, has toured tirelessly for the past 9 years, playing in 8 different countries & wowing audiences with her feisty acousting style and soaring vocal range.  Music Connection Magazine listed her in the Top 100 indie artists, and her latest EP was nominated for an LA Critics Choice award. As High Soundz Magazine says – “Edgy, Poignant, rough and honest, Camille is ready to conquer the world one city at a time”.  Camille has shared the stage with greats like Smashmouth, Metric, Brandi Carlile, The Weepies, and Mike McCready of Pearl Jam.  

NEW FULL-LENGTH ALBUM
"Big Dreams Little Earthlings"
OUT NOW

Nashvilian, by way of Seattle, the self-labeled Americana-Gothic duo, Willow & Wood, has crafted a collection of moody songs that call to mind dreamy-pop, country-noir sounds akin to Cowboy Junkies, Neko Case, and Jessie Sykes. But through a David-Lynch-esque, rainy landscape filter of post-modern America. Their songs take on redemption and longing, destiny and death, with a crystalline alto and an undertow of darkness that tugs the songs from below.  Willow & Wood hover somewhere around folk, but with gothic tinges and bell-like guitars chiming throughout. Their music is imbued with a gentle lyricism full of swirling strings alternating with hushed moments of pure voice that suggests redemption might be possible after all.  
“Willow’s dark, powerful songs make her the Flannery O’Connor of the local music…like an adult Alice in Wonderland” 
The Seattle Times

“Gathering raw energy like lightning rods in an electrical storm, the music of Willow & Wood is a kind of folk-noir that's as eerie as it is soothing.”
Salt Lake Weekly 

“…the strength of a raging tornado and the grace of a light breeze...” ~Rachel Heisler, Albuquerque Weekly Alibi

Northwest native vocalist and songwriter Carrie Clark and her band The Lonesome Lovers draw from the broad palettes of Americana, folk, and rock to craft their own distinct flavor of modern pop honkey-tonk. On their new LP Split At The Seams, their years of creative collaboration shine through as a warm, in-the-pocket confidence. On first listen you know these are folks who play together as one, ebbing and flowing together. Much like the Salish Sea which they call home, Split At The Seams is expansive, just a touch rugged, and undeniably beautiful.
