All about Alexa Wildish
https://www.alexawildish.com/
Colorado singer-songwriter Alexa Wildish grew up in a musical family in the horse country of Southern California, where her father collected vintage guitars and she studied classical voice from age seven. Wildish spent her school years in musical theatre, but at age 17, an entirely different musical spark was ignited when she saw The Wailin’ Jennys open for Nickel Creek, and she took the hard-left turn from musical theatre to Americana. She had been on her way to Broadway, but the lure of performing original material was strong; she threw herself into songwriting, learned guitar and octave mandolin, and never looked back.
Wildish released her self-titled debut EP in 2020, staking her claim as one of Americana’s most compelling new voices and making it easy to see why she took home first place at Planet Bluegrass’s emerging singer-songwriter competition in 2019. With a pristine voice likened to Alison Krauss and Eva Cassidy, her lyric “I'll be your refuge, a place you can go,” aptly describes the rich and mystical soundscapes she so deftly inhabits on her freshman effort.
Wildish’s latest EP After Love comes after her celebrated run as a contestant on NBC’s The Voice in 2023 and is the singer-songwriter’s ambitious submission to the cover record canon. Building upon the modern folk sound of her first EP, After Love is both lush and disciplined, poetic and technically brilliant--an ode to the art of crafting a cover song with staying power.
With support from Monica Marie LaBonte

From a wide-eyed tike delicately pressing the keys of her mother’s upright piano to a seasoned artist taking various stages across the country, Monica Marie LaBonte has always been guided by song.
In her over 10-year career, the Colorado native has played hundreds of venues, including the historic Gold Hill Inn and Planet Bluegrass. Whether belting out ballads in a small listening room or playing to tens of thousands at an open-air venue, she brings a palpable authenticity to each gig.
Armed with an acoustic guitar (and sometimes banjo) and her truth, it’s clear LaBonte is pursuing her art for all the right reasons. Although her creative pursuits are guided by pure passion, LaBonte hasn’t escaped critical praise and success. A finalist In the 2018 Songwriter Showcase, at Rocky Mountain Folks Fest in Lyons, Colo., she continues to impress with her art.
