Indie pop / Folk rock

Essie & The Hum - Born out of the rhythms and hush of the Pacific Northwest, meet Essie and The Hum. At the center of the 4-piece band, Essie’s lyrical voice and chant-filled melodies bring her listeners into an ethereal, analog and electric realm.Drawing influence from the intimacy of Julia Jacklin, the atmospheric grooves of Men I Trust, the raw storytelling of Big Thief, and the timeless edge of Dire Straits, Essie and her crew blend casual laid back rock with indie folk flavor.All original songs are written by Essie, whose guitar and vocals are lifted by the smooth rhythm section of Jaxx Ward (bass) and Steven Douglas (drums), with textured playing from guitarist/vocalist Paul Danowski. Expect a range of sound, from slow-burn ballads to indie-rock-bordering-funk/punk.

Hannah Glavor - Hannah Glavor is a Portland based artist with a cinematic range of indie rock revelry and raw folk spirit,clutched together by catching pop elements. She has been on the West Coast scene for the past decadesharing the stage and touring with a broad rangeof sound like Joseph, Y La Bamba, and Liz Vice.

With her forthcoming album (Spring 2024) she has partnered with Portland producer Cameron Spies(Radiation City, Night Heron, The Shivas, Reptaliens) to co-produce a solidly indie rock anthemicmasterpiece; each song standing confidently on its own.Blending lush soaring vocals over guitar solos, soulful bass runs, and tight drums; she pulls in sonicreferences from 90’s and early aughts legends like the Cranberries, the Strokes, and Radiohead as wellas present day bands like Soccer Mommy, Julia Jacklin and TOPS for an altogether new but familiarcollection of songs.

With “So Far, So Long” (2020) Hannah beckoned a new chapter of sound distinct from her former indiefolk and gospel days with her partnership with the analog masters at Mason Jar Music in Brooklyn, NewYork (Feist, Fleet Foxes, Big Thief). Her evocative lyricism, intimate vocal delivery, and enthrallingarrangements conjure a compelling and eclectic blend of comparisons from Faye Webster to Fleet Foxesto Feist to Metric.

Her songs and mantra have not ceased to strive to give language to hope; having weathered losses,difficult transitions, and surviving a brain tumor in 2017. Her cry for peace and hope, even in the worst oflife's storms, is an invitation for all to fight to see and love others around them.
