See You Through will be the 3rd, and final, single released from Ian Randall Thornton's new album, Lineage. Following suit with the album's concept of family and heritage, this track is an ode written from a father to his daughter, instructing her to hold on to truth, awe, and wonder; in the midst of life's ups and downs. Thornton's rustic nuanced voice, and compelling sentimental lyrics, intersect with beautiful instrumentation, that seems to somehow fuse the folk music cultures of Asia and American Appalachia. Melody and lyric meld like time tested friends, and pull you towards the edge of tears before it's all over; an indicative trait of Thornton's vulnerable song-writing.

Lineage is Ian Randall Thornton's unreleased conceptual record about family and heritage. The album's striking cover, of Thornton's own grandfather fighting in World War II , immediately draws you into the vast beauty and weight of this stunning work. Honest poetic song writing pairs with breath taking musical production, that swings back and forth between timeless folk traditions and modern progressive post rock, to communicate the tension between honoring the past and embracing the future; both musically and lyrically.

Zach Hurd is a Maine native now based in LA. His 2013 EP, "She Never Sleeps", produced by Robert Di Pietro (Norah Jones),received "Best Pop EP" in the International Independent Music Awards. Over the years, Hurd has continued to broaden his audience with intimate performances and a sound that blurs the lines between folk, soul, pop and americana.
His latest album, "A Million Little Lights" (released October 2014 on iTunes/Spotify) is a 9-song effort that tells the story of a young couple who leave their small town for the city. Each song acts as a different piece of the story creating a cinematic experience for the listener.
In regards to the album Hurd says, "I wanted to do something different for this project and take a risk. I'm from a small town and moved to the city, so that perspective wasn't a far reach but the idea of creating an actual story around that backdrop, with a whole album, felt like more of a challenge and more intriguing."

Hurd has been featured in Paste Magazine, Four Culture Magazine and performed live on Philadelphia's famous WXPN FM/ NPR station.
