Shawn Hess stepped out of a western noir film and into your heart. His sound fuses vintage country soul with sharp, contemporary storytelling. With one boot in old-school Americana and the other stepping boldly into alt-country’s future, Hess delivers songs that feel like time-travel with a twang—poignant, funny, and full of unexpected turns.
Dani-Rae Clark is a queer country/americana artist born in Vancouver BC, now based in Nashville, TN. Dani-Rae’s music is deeply inspired by the country, folk and soul idols of the 40’s, 50s and 60’s and in each performance they seek to invoke the spirit of the queers who were listening to those songs when they were fresh on the radio. From murder ballad to love song to euphoric escape song, Dani-Rae is linking old narratives to the current events that weigh on our hearts today. Known for their crooning and thought provoking lyricism. Dani-Rae plays all original songs on their father’s guitar to leave you a little bit haunted and a little in love.
