Townsend's Solitaire:Bobby Odle, a Seattle based singer-songwriter performing under the moniker Townsend's Solitaire, is a classically trained percussionist turned folk musician.
Whilst living in Ashland, Oregon, faced with completing a master's degree in percussion performance, as well as a worldwide pandemic, Townsend's Solitaire turned his creative eye towards poetry and songwriting. Drawing heavy influence from artists like The Tallest Man on Earth, Adrianne Lenker, Bright Eyes, and Sufjan Stevens – Townsend's Solitaire prioritizes and treasures genuinity above all else. His music is primarily fingerstyle acoustic guitar paired with a single vocal line singing lyrics addressing common anxieties, loss, and a love for life in this world – all the while drenched in a somber melancholy and nostalgia. His ensemble has mixtures of cello, violin, flute, clarinet, and piano.
Brenna Bruce:
Brenna Bruce is a singer-songwriter based in Seattle. Following a path of curiosity and introspection, her music moves with a quiet power, balancing sharpness and tenderness with an understood patience.
Bruce pulls from the tradition of vulnerable folk through delicate and crystalline vocal prowess akin to Courtney Marie Andrews and Emmylou Harris, with the simplicity and focus of Gillian Welch's storytelling. On her forthcoming debut EP Honest Bloom, Bruce weaves ambling stories of the heart with peripheral landscapes passing through the deserts, rivers, and mountains of her past in the southwest, and present in the Pacific Northwest.
Honest Bloom inhabits spaces of liminality and cyclical growth, spinning themes of connection, belonging, and becoming, with lilting pedal steel and string arrangements, tethered by pulsing percussion and the intentional delivery of Brenna's vocal harmonies carrying each sentiment to fruition. Honest Bloom is a capsule of time, reckoning with the ever-unfolding path of being and learning life's lessons, and Brenna Bruce is an artist burgeoning with timeless truths.
Used Fiction:
Used Fiction is the project of San Francisco songwriter/producer Tommy P (Formerly Harlow's Monkeys). The music is sparse, delicate, and dynamic. With lyrics that take listeners on a journey, Used Fiction spin surprising stories that are at once poignant and humorous. The combination of Tommy's cutting narrative with the Harlow's Monkeys leaves audiences feeling like they've just had a great conversation with an intimate friend. Used Fiction is currently working on their debut releases.
