Ashley Virginia:

North Carolina singer/songwriter Ashley Virginia’s style synthesizes an eclectic spread somewhere between Indie-Folk, 70s Country cool, West Coast cosmic Americana, and 60s Rock n’ Roll. Beyond an obvious artistic aptitude, complete with ear-catching melodies and soul-baring lyricism, Ashley’s music conveys a deeply intimate ability to share the most terrifying pieces of herself. In August 2021, she released her debut album, “And Life Just Goes on Living”, which leans into themes of mental health, healing, and socio-political commentary.

Emily Stewart:

Emily Stewart plays original tunes rooted in the folk, country, and blues traditions of the deep south. She first discovered her voice while perched in a south Alabama church pew as a child, and her vocal stylings are those of a true southern siren. Her roots as a writer also reach back to her hometown, Alabama’s literary capital, where she was raised by writers in the belly of the family newspaper and commissioned as a columnist before even growing tall enough to reach the employee time clock. With lyrics and melodies that channel the strength of Odetta, the delicate twang of Kitty Wells, and the forthright softness of Loretta Lynn, Emily finds a song in every story.
