Artist Bios
Neal Z. Shipe
Neal walks the old paths of 17th‑century Scotland, letting the lute speak in tones authentic, timeless, yet rooted fully in the present moment. Trained at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, he received the Aaron Shearer Scholarship for Guitar. He follows music not just as study, but as a living thread tying the ancient world to daily life today.
His work drifts gently between performance, exploration and research, and preservation through audio recordings. He supports the Lute Society of America (LSA), contributing personal research, and serving on the LSA Education Committee. Neal holds Scottish lute music close, feeling called to carry its voice forward, one performance at a time.

Analog Mountains
Since 2019, Jack Gudhart and Chris Fulton have put out a steady stream of genre-hopping recordings as Analog Mountains. Their debut self-titled EP, follow up Nice EP, and various singles have crossed stylistic gaps between americana, psychedelia, synth-pop, and garage rock. Chris and Jack tie together these disparate aesthetics together with a focus on melodic basslines, memorable hooks, and thoughtful arrangement underpinned by straightforward confessional lyricism.
