As the frontman, guitarist and songwriter for the band The Lost & Nameless Orchestra, Patrick Conway has spent the last fifteen years gigging all over the U.S. and playing every major folk festival and songwriter friendly venue in Texas and beyond. Highlights from his travels with his band include performances at the Americana Music Festival in Chicago, Kerrville Folk Festival, Old Settler’s Music Festival, Folk Alliance International, Fischer Festival, Minnesota State Fair and The Wildflower Festival in Dallas, as well as House Concerts and all of the wonderful listening rooms and grocery stores in his hometown of Austin, Texas. Patrick never turns down a gig for a listening crowd and tirelessly works to entertain when given an audience and a microphone.
With years of working in recording studios and multiple releases under his belt, Patrick has a new album called “MERIDIAN”. The album is a celebration of and tribute to all that is important in Patrick's life. Love, Home & Family are some of the themes on “MERIDIAN”. It also touches on the inevitable, but beautiful... Loss. The album was produced mostly at home, late at night with everyone in the house sleeping, but features some amazing guest musicians on drums, violins, organ, backing vocals and saxophone.
Patrick also composes instrumental music for an electronic and ambient music-for-film project called ENDELØS. Selected compositions are available for licensing through MusicVine.com in the UK and all other commissions are available at endelosmusic.com.
When he’s not writing, recording and performing his own music, Patrick works as a freelance music producer and audio engineer. With over twenty seven years experience working in studios and performing as a singer, Patrick enjoys assisting other singer/songwriters and bands with their music and is always open to assisting other dedicated artists.

Kelley Mickwee has spent the past two decades making a name for herself in her home state of Texas. Within the past year, she’s re-focused her efforts on her solo work, beginning with a set of singles in 2021 recorded with singer-songwriter Jonathan Tyler and culminating with “Gold Standard,” out now. This set of four singles mark Mickwee’s first original releases since 2014’s You Used to Live Here, her debut solo record. Although she was already a seasoned artist at that point with a decade’s worth of experience under her belt, up until then all of her performing and recording experience had been as part of a unit, as one-fourth of the acclaimed Americana group The Trishas, with Jamie Lin Wilson, Savannah Welch and Liz Foster, previously one-half of the Memphis-based duo Jed and Kelley and most recently as part of Shinyribs’ Shiny Soul Sisters. But sometimes what gets lost in the shuffle of all the well-deserved acclaim for what she adds to other artist’s work is the music she makes in her own right. Full-length sophomore solo release, "Everything Beautiful," coming September 27th, 2024.

An Irish singer-songwriter, Pat Byrne has come a long way since his first deal with Universal. In 2017, Byrne migrated to Austin, Texas. Immersed in the Texas music scene, Pat penned several new songs and released the “Rituals” LP in October 2018. In 2019, Pat took the U.S. by storm, with breakout performances at the 30A Festival, SWSX, Kerrville Folk Festival, and the Americana Festival. Along comes 2020 and live performance all but disappeared. Pat took full advantage and began work on his upcoming LP and launched his Wednesday livestream, now a residency at McGonigel’s Mucky Duck’s Live from Norfolk Street.
Pat recorded “Into the Light” at the Sound Emporium studio in Nashville in late 2020, set for release and tour in summer 2021—Covid-19 permitting.
“When you combine the transcendent poetry of Bob Dylan with the gritty, real-world rock-n-roll storytelling that Bruce Springsteen made so famous, and then add a dash of the political activism embodied by Woody Guthrie and Pete Seger, you’ll have Irish singer-songwriter Pat Byrne”—Folk Alley at 30a Songwriters festival
“The raspy melodic soul of Byrne’s voice recalls the emotional spells the late Austin troubadour Jimmy LaFave used to cast, though Byrne’s songwriting bears a distinctive Irish stamp. He’s more contemporary than strict traditionalists, putting him more in the league of Glen Hansard or Luka Bloom; yet at times he conjures a deeply old-school feel.”—Peter Blackstock, The Austin American Statesman
