LIGHTHEARTED
Athens, GA
https://lightheartedband.bandcamp.com/
lighthearted is a dynamic indie-folk band from Athens, Georgia, fronted by identical twin sisters Gracie Huffman & Eliza Lemmon. Formed in 2019, the band draws from the deep wells of folk traditions and contemporary indie influences. They write the type of hushed, kaleidoscopic songs that appeal to anyone that takes to gorgeous harmonies and plumbing the depths of human nature (Ethan Fogus, Immersive Atlanta).
KATE STEPHENSON
Nashville, TN

It’s kind of unbelievable. A gentle voice, a dagger for a pen. Kate Stephenson has found a way to offer this balance at once. Songs that hurt to relate to, but offer a lifeline if you do. Breaking free of genre’s limitations, Stephenson shares these blistering stories with stunning arrangements that dare to take on different shapes every time. Her unforgettable writing is the through line, finding the right sounds to express it all is her magic. From intimate, acoustic, profound songs like ‘Shoving’ to the full-band-get-up-and-dance ‘Summerfoot’, she can do it all.
Living in Nashville, she’s finding her ever-changing sound, moving closer and closer every day. Oh, and she’ll wipe the floor with you at the bowling alley.
VINTZ DESERT
Maryland

Described as "A cornucopia of indie folk music", Vintz Desert is an acoustic singer-songwriter and producer who isn’t afraid to go under the hood and lay everything out on the table. Born from a small Massachusetts town, Vintz frequently writes songs about mental health, love (or lack thereof), and the human experience.
