Grace Rogers is a musician & writer based out of Louisville, Kentucky originally from Owingsville, Ky having just released her debut full length album Mad Dogs (Sophomore Lounge, 2025). With accompaniment from a band of Louisville friends (Ian Gordon, Fiona Palensky, Chris Cupp, & Scott Boice), the Grace Rogers outfit blends rock, country, and traditional influences into tunes that, in the words of Leigh Viner, "hum like hymns and drive like rain." Stereogum writes “Rogers has the kind of talent and irrepressible personality that makes a singer-songwriter stand out in a crowded field.”
Matt Kivel is a songwriter based in Austin, Texas. He has released 7 full length albums. His music has received acclaim from “critics” and audiences all over the world. Not that long ago he played a sold-out concert in Tokyo and couldn’t believe that people showed up. It was incredible. His music plays with form and the songs take on many different shapes. Sometimes they are loud and distorted, echoing into a mesmerizing drone; other times they are extremely quiet—like the deathbed confession of an old tycoon who’s got one last secret to share before the buzzards pick his bones clean. And other times, they are fun, warm, and warped: insular transmissions that bring to mind the tunes of slick songwriters like Ric Ocasek and Jackson Brown. Regardless, you’ll get the hang of it once you hear it. Trust me.
In December of 2025 he will be embarking on a rare Southeastern tour supporting Bonnie “Prince” Billy whom he has previously collaborated with on a number of recordings.
