Sophie Bird
Sophie Bird has always been drawn to the
art of storytelling, whether through music,
words, or the quiet act of observation. As half of the folk duo Companion, she honed her craft alongside her twin sister, weaving intricate harmonies and soulful narratives rooted in her Oklahoma upbringing.
After years of national touring with her folk heroes, including Andrew Bird, Buck Meek of Big Thief, Tori Amos, and Samantha Crain, Bird continues to evolve, turning every show into something that feels more like a living conversation than just a performance.
Mary Eliza
Mary Eliza, Portland-based singer/songwriter, grew up playing music in a family band in Oakland, CA, and has spent the years since traveling, living in her van, and busking on city sidewalks. She finds community in the mountains she situates between, the streets she steps through, and the communities she opens her heart towards.
The catchy hooks of her songs are reminiscent of the bluegrass origins of Mary’s music, while the old-time, indie folk carried through her instrumentation captures the years she spent on the road.In her debut album “Spider,” Mary reminds us how the softest things are the strongest, and the sweetest things can stop you in your tracks. She pours her soul, unapologetically, into the poetry of her lyrics, and in collaboration with Preston Cochran and Jake Finch at Trace Horse Studios, she breathes an electrifying life and fire into this new record.Mary’s artistry is that of a garden, where growth and death happen simultaneously, where something bright rises and blooms in dark places, where you can hold the whole experience of heartbreak, chronic illness, and overflowing love all at once."
