Lyrically, Claire Conway is wise, graceful, and honest. Her songs are dreamy, vivid portraits of her life backed by simple riffs, soft harmonies and moody slide guitar, eliciting comparisons to contemporary indie-folk acts like Waxahatchee and First Aid Kit. Claire's latest EP, "Be Good," is both a product of the pandemic and a deeply personal project years in the making. Recorded in a Los Angeles apartment while quarantined, it echoes all-too-familiar themes of isolation and self-discovery, divulging the details with unmatched intimacy. "Amsterdam" is a nod to the narrative at the heart of her last EP, while singles "Be Good" and "I Don't Wanna Be Alone" read more like diary entries, chronicling a story of a young woman discovering herself, the way she relates to others, and her place in the middle of it all.<a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/6VN8lKQ3uH8ERz8K4PTib1?si=GTdVM29bSr2rhJOQorCT5Q" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://open.spotify.com/artist/6VN8lKQ3uH8ERz8K4PTib1?si=GTdVM29bSr2rhJOQorCT5Q</a> ---------------------------------John Lensing started out as a street performer, writing songs and driving around the US to play them for people. Slowly, this led to playing more proper shows, but the goal has always been the same. to make people care — about others, themselves, and things that sometimes hurt to care about. His genre-blurring songwriting has brought him on tours all across North America and Europe. Most notably playing a showcase at the Sommer in Altona festival (Hamburg), and being named "an artist to watch" by No Depression. <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/7Lv3WBg7xcO0Nj30BInwsY?si=cNJOq5kbRHeXCXBvgyK3aA" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://open.spotify.com/artist/7Lv3WBg7xcO0Nj30BInwsY?si=cNJOq5kbRHeXCXBvgyK3aA</a> ---------------------------------Seattle based musician Lilly Miller has spent the last year working on her first EP, entitled The Fool.
