Covenhoven:
Quietly forging his own path through the crowded indie folk landscape of 2025, Joel Van Horne (AKA Covenhoven) released his fifth album, The Color of the Dark, to glimmering reviews and embarked on an extensive tour schedule that took him all over the U.S. and Canada. Funding the album with the help of 250 of his loyal fans and self-releasing it in April of 2025, Denver’s Westword called it a “masterpiece album of lyrical excellence”. He worked with producer/engineers Dave Wilton (Gregory Alan Isakov, Nathaniel Rateliff, A Boy and His Kite, etc.), Brian Joseph (Bon Iver, Sufjan Stevens, etc.), and Andrew Berlin (Blasting Room) to record 10 new songs that have already passed half a million streams on Spotify alone. Then during his tours through the spring and summer, he re-recorded another version of the album in its entirety… calling it Field Notes… made entirely outdoors, finding make-shift “studios” in stone alcoves and forest hollows in places like Joshua Tree, Big Sur, Banff, and beyond… he set up a single microphone and let the local birds, wind, water, and other sounds of nature take part in the performances. Then, as if two full albums in a year weren’t enough, a new single, Aeroplane, dropped a few months ago that shows Joel dipping his toes into the Americana and folk-rock pools of his heroes.
Corsicana:
Corsicana’s songs are soaring and magnetic. Bird bones aren’t actually hollow, they are interwoven with pockets for air to flow through as an extension of the lungs. Language in Ben’s music are those pockets of breath carrying us higher and higher, allowing us to take flight. And in the glide, there is pensiveness and longing. There is introspection and flagellation. There are mantras and the ways they don’t work. The realization that you must become your own person after allowing yourself to be defined by others. The realization that your parents are just as messed up as you are. The shock of aloneness and the relief of freedom. You could almost call it growing up - except it's the kind of growing up we have to do every day. A relentless honesty that comes through the associations of egrets and fathers, of turnpikes and lovers, of falling and flying." - Gion Davis
Corsicana has become an established artist in the Colorado music scene since their debut in 2014, having opened for acts such as Devotchka, Hippo Campus, Deep Sea Diver, The Greeting Committee, & Wye Oak, among others. They have toured the West Coast, Midwest, & Canada - with plans for plenty more. Corsicana’s 3rd full-length, Kept, released in October 2023.
