Alexandra James is a genre-bending singer-songwriter grown in California and based in Brooklyn. Equal parts outlaw country and folk lullaby, with an education in jazz music, she is a unique blend of sound and influence. First and foremost she is a storyteller, using her quietly powerful voice to deliver raw and personal lyrics. She and her band, the Danger Boys, deliver an energetic set of original music full of emotional depth, toe-tapping grooves, and lush vocal harmony.
A lifelong singer trained as a Shakespearean actor, Emily Jeanne Brown began her foray into recording in 2020, with a minimal but visceral cover of Springsteen’s i’m on fire, which quickly garnered tens of thousands of streams. Since then, she has released a string of original singles that are “a natural fit with the current movement of women in indie-folk pop [boygenius, Maggie Rogers, Fiona Apple, HAIM, Phoebe Bridgers, Sharon Van Etten or even Taylor Swift’s latest work]” (Aptly Journal). She is currently working on her debut full-length record, Coaster, co-produced by Nan Macmillan. Accompanied by a full band of guitars, bass, drums, pedal steel, organ, rhodes and piano, the songs range from esoteric folk to grungy Americana, telling stories about growing up and searching for home.
Cypress is the Alt-Americana musical project of singer-songwriter Ben Higginbotham. Raised in Dallas, Texas, Ben has found a home for himself and his music in the northeast. While pulling from a wide array of influences, his southern roots can’t help but shine through, giving his lyric-driven songwriting style that extra bit of soul.
