Join us for a dual album release show! Two amazing artists each releasing new music.
Kelley Mickwee:
Kelley Mickwee and her voice are one of the most recognizable talents making music in her home state of Texas at the moment -- even if you may not immediately know it.
Mickwee has been a mainstay in the Texas-based music scene for years: currently, as part of Kevin Russell’s Shinyribs’ Shiny Soul Sisters, singing harmony and background vocals at his live shows and recordings; as one-fourth of the acclaimed Americana group The Trishas, with Jamie Lin Wilson, Savannah Welch and Liz Foster; and before then as one-half of a Memphis, TN-based duo Jed and Kelley. But sometimes what gets lost in the shuffle of all the well-deserved acclaim for what she adds to other artist’s projects is the music she makes in her own right.
“It's been way too long since I have released music that is all mine,” she says. “I’m so proud of how these songs turned out, and it just felt like the right time to put new music out and see if people are still interested in what I’m doing on my own.” Her comments are referring to a new two-song project called Boomtown to Bust, an A-side and B-side single that she’s taking the extra mile and releasing on vinyl.
Boomtown to Bust is Kelley’s first original release since 2014’s You Used to Live Here, her debut solo record. Within the past year, she’s re-focused her efforts on her solo work, beginning with a set of four singles in 2021 recorded with singer-songwriter Jonathan Tyler and culminating with her latest “Gold Standard,” out now.
Suzanna Choffel:
Suzanna Choffel is many things: a rising star, an undeniable musical force and a unique voice (a "honeyed husk," as it's been posited) who feels equally at home signing in a dimly-lit, smoky club as she does front and center in front of (literally) millions.
Choffel has just recently gone back into the studio with artist/producer David Garza to record a new album of songs.
As she’s done in every stage of her career, Choffel continues to evolve. With Bird By Bird, she’s stretching her wings — and soaring to fascinating new heights.
“I believe she is truly the voice of Austin,” Garza gushed in a recent interview. “I hope that with this album, folks worldwide will get hip to her artistry.”
