Drunken Prayer
For the last year Morgan Geer has been working from his home studio with Paul Oldham (Bonnie “Prince” Billy, Palace), building on drum tracks initially recorded in New Mexico at Empty House Studios, home of doom metal bands like OM and Sleep. The end result evokes an ominous acid Western feedback-and-driftwood aesthetic.
The latest Drunken Prayer releases have been 2019’s acclaimed LP Cordelia Elsewhere mixed by Mitch Easter (Let’s Active, REM) and the ambitious 17 minute long death-raga, Electric Daddyland from 2021.
Over the past two years, before the pandemic, Drunken Prayer played hundreds of shows across 18 countries and across the US at venues such as the
Newport Folk Festival, Pickathon and San Francisco's Great American Music Hall. Geer's music has been featured on AMC, NPR, WFMU and SiriusXM.
Silver Lake 66
Maria Francis and Jeff Overbo are the Americana duo at the core of Silver Lake 66. Originally from the Midwest, the couple’s travels have taken them to Los Angeles and now Portland as they continue their musical adventures. The duo continues to capitalize on the momentum brought to them with their 2016 debut, Let Go or Be Dragged, and their second release, Ragged Heart (2019), which brought their energized Americana to new heights. On Ragged Heart, Americana Highways’ Melissa Clarke says, "The striking characteristic of Ragged Heart is the energy of the instrumental interplay, with a throwback early ’70s style and tones to match . . . The band’s energy is irresistible, and the vocal harmonies are divine.” Silver Lake 66 released their third album, The Space Between Us in the summer of 2022. The duos’ reaction to the one of the most uncertain times in American history is an album of emotionally raw and genuine performances, with remarkably strong songwriting. The Space Between Us spent weeks on the Americana Music Association Charts and has been named one of the Best Albums of 2022 by Americana Highways. You will find Silver Lake 66 performing live with their full band or touring as a duo. As two seasoned troubadours, Overbo and Francis tell stories straight from the heart while looking forward to whatever comes next and glancing back at the road they’ve travelled with no regrets.
Ashleigh Flynn grew up in Kentucky and cut her teeth on local bluegrass music and Motown. A prolific songwriter and performer blessed with unbridled charisma, she arrived on the Americana scene in 2008 with the release of her third LP, American Dream, a poetic lament to the elusiveness of that national ethos. A Million Stars followed in 2013 – a rollicking journey celebrating the women pioneers of the American West. Currently, Ashleigh can be found touring with her band, Ashleigh & The Riveters. The band is making regional waves in a genre underrepresented by female and queer bands (Americana/Country/Rock).
