Hardened & Tempered with Emily Shirley and Katie Lessley

Hardened & Tempered

Hard enough to hold an edge; soft enough not to break. Austin, Texas duo Kristin Davidson and Carolyn Phillips live that balance and express it in their music. Their songs take root in the story-telling traditions of folk and country and flourish with textured harmonies, revealing an intimate look at the human condition and one’s search for meaning. https://www.hardenedandtempered.com

Emily + Katie

Emily Shirley’s brand of thoughtful songwriter pop/rock is as finely tuned and brightly colored as the graphic design projects she works on for her day gig. Ghost Ranch, her latest release, is a genre-bending hybrid of indie-pop melodies woven over thoughtful, grounded lyrics. AND, when you add Katie Lessley's vocal harmonies to Emily's songs you get a special kind of magic.Katie Lessley is a lifelong musician and vocalist based in Austin, Texas. A graduate of the University of Texas at Austin’s School of Music, she has been singing in choirs since the age of five and has always known she was meant to make music with others. Since 2008, Katie has been an auditioned member of the acclaimed Conspirare Symphonic Choir and performs regularly with the Emily Shirley Band, lending her voice to everything from classic and contemporary choral works to indie-pop harmonies.
