DAVID DONDERO:

Dondero has been touring for thirty years and his music has taken him around the world multiple times.

His style and ongoing narratives are hard to fit into a particular genre. Dondero’s influenced by the angst of Black Flag, the wanderlust of Bruce Springsteen, the sentimentality of Paul Simon and the politics of Woody Guthrie.

He’s shared bills and tours with Pedro the Lion, Bright Eyes, The Mountain Goats, Darren Hanlon, Daniel Johnston and Against Me! In 2006 the U.S. National Public Radio (NPR) put David on their list of the "top-ten greatest living songwriters" alongside Dylan and Tom Waits.

Aside from multiple years at SXSW, he was invited by Mudhoney as a featured artist at "All Tomorrow’s Parties" in Rye, England. God Speed You Black Emperor brought him to The Sled Island Festival in Calgary. And he played the Bellow Winter Music Festival in Australia under the recommendation of songwriter Darren Hanlon.

Dondero has recorded ten albums and his 11th is slated to come out on Fluff and Gravy Records in Summer of '23. Recorded in Portland at Fluff and Gravy Studio. Dondero calls Portland, Santa Cruz and Pensacola home and is about to publish his first novel.

BRYCE CLIFFORD:

Clifford fronts his new band, "Brother Superior" in Hamilton, Ontario (Canada) serving up his brand of melodic indie-rock, with "rueful and acerbic lyrics and bar room scarred vocals" (NOW Magazine)

These musicians bring with them influences of blue-grass, classical, honky-tonk, old school soul… name it - you might hear it. That said, a 'Bryce Clifford & Brother Superior' set is dominated with driving melodic rock songs that get stuck in your head, are played with joy, and have a touch of nostalgia that feels right and hits home. You’ll be surprised by the unexpected directions it will take you and musical pictures it paints, often filled with dark texts.

Bryce has released two albums, three Eps, and his music has been featured on MTV, CBS, The Syfy Channel, Bravo Canada, The CW, and renowned indie-film "Here We Are".

Clifford bounces between Hamilton Ontario Canada and Austin Texas, his creative feet planted in two artistically inspiring cities on both sides of the border.

Sets flow between indie-rock, downtempo piano balladry, alt-country, and echoes of revved up post-punk. It’s apparent that Bryce continues to make his musical landscape borderless in style, yet always heavily focused on ‘the song’.
