MIGUEL ESCOBAR: miguelescobar.bandcamp.com
"Chicago-born graduate student. Interested in politically-conscious self-inquiry; public, shared questioning; and sounds that make a big brown man feel beautiful."
HER MOUNTAIN MAJESTY: hermountainmajesty.com
"Based in Seattle, WA, Her Mountain Majesty is the music project of Andi Lee Scher, a singer-songwriter & multi-instrumentalist originally from outside Baltimore, MD. Recently described as “Mountain Rock”, Her Mountain Majesty pours out raw emotion with boot-stomping rhythms woven in soul-affirming notions of connection and belonging. As if calling on fellow restless spirits and rebellious hearts to reimagine what the world might look like if we come together in presence with one another, Her Mountain Majesty builds an energetic forcefield of joy and togetherness while rocking stages in the Pacific Northwest."
ERIKA LUNDAHL: erikalundahl.com
"Erika Lundahl is a musician and climate justice activist, living on traditional Duwamish Land, in Seattle. She employs her classically trained voice and distinctive "tapping" guitar style to create an enveloping, earth-centered musical space. Her poetic, often autobiographical lyrics employ poignant and powerful imagery to deal with contemporary social issues. Her band's debut album “Songs of Shattering,” released in 2015 was inspired by the poetry of Edna St. Millay and debut onto CMJ's top 200 albums of college radio in March 2016. Her recent live in-studio album ‘Right Back at You’ recorded at London Bridge Studios features the moving storytelling and talented performance that Erika is known for. She tours the Pacific Northwest in her electric vehicle, from Vancouver, CA to San Francisco in late 2018."
