Singer/songwriter Jess Nolan is an old soul channeling a diverse palate of creative forces. A skilled keyboardist, poet, and painter hailing from small-town New Jersey, she gained quick momentum when she moved to Nashville and won Lightning 100 and BMI’s fan-voted Music City Big Break competition. Jess is a frequent community collaborator and can be found writing, recording or onstage with an array of artists including Jenny Lewis, Joy Oladokun, Katie Pruitt and more. Since 2018, she’s mentored for the non-profit Girls Write Nashville which aims to cultivate empowered expression and a positive, safe space for teen girls. Jess’s debut album, From Blue to Gold, is available everywhere now and serves as a timeless reminder that through the convergence of intuition, skill, and community, there is an undeniable beauty in art that honestly reflects the human experience. “She reminds me of a modern-day Carole King.” – Ana Lee, WMOT Roots Radio
Jean Rohe writes one-of-a-kind narrative songs, concerned as much with the interior lives of her narrators as with the wider forces that shape their lives. Her work spans evening-long concept shows to participatory, impromptu street protest tunes, and is both personal and timely, the product of nearly two decades of practice in New York’s wide-ranging music, art, and activist communities.
Born and raised in Lancaster, PA, Maya de Vitry first traveled and performed as a fiddling street musician, and then in bars, theaters, and on festival stages as a founding member of The Stray Birds. Now based in Nashville, TN, her musical heart is anchored in a deep love of song-makers like John Prine and Townes Van Zandt, emotive vocalists like Nine Simone and Bonnie Raitt, and the traditional music of Southern Appalachia. With Joel Timmons – guitar, vocals; Shelby Means – bass, percussion, vocals; Charlie Muench – bass, banjo, vocals and Jason Burger – drums, vocals
