The Round: Rachael Kilgour, Kaylyn Nese, D'Mario D. Carter, Xan McPherson

Canadian-American songwriter Rachael Kilgour presents her heartfelt new release, 'My Father Loved Me'. The album was recorded in her late father’s native Ontario and was produced by JUNO-award winning and Grammy-nominated artist Rose Cousins.
In the spare and often gutting language for which she is known, Kilgour gives us a complex portrait of a man seen through his daughter’s eyes. The record poses questions about belonging, inheritance, and grief and triumphantly affirms the value of one ordinary working man’s life.

Kaylyn Nese is a Seattle based musician who performs under the moniker Soft Chain. A solo act best described as Gothic Folk, she is heavily influenced by the landscape of the Northwest along with artists like Angel Olsen, Julie Byrne and PJ Harvey. Soft Chain songs are delicate with a slight edge, distant yet introspective, and have grown out of an exploration of persistent existential thoughts. Her debut EP, “Soft Chain I,” is out now.

D’Mario D. Carter, is a multifaceted artist, activist, and motivational speaker with roots firmly planted on the West Coast.

With a passion for social change and community empowerment, D'Mario has traveled the world, spreading his powerful message of unity and progress. Through his platform, Woke & Heard, he embodies the essence of his beliefs, advocating for a world where every voice is heard and every soul is empowered.

"Xan is an artist from Colorado working towards a PhD in Applied Physics at UW while following her passions of painting, skiing, and enjoying everything Washington has to offer. Her artwork is inspired by the beauty of the world. She loves to travel and paint all of the wonderful places she is lucky to see!"
