King Dream
Jeremy Lyon is a Bay Area songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. With a soulful voice, roots planted in the golden era of California psychedelia, and a wry energy that places him firmly in the 21st century, Lyon charts a path through timeless themes: disillusionment with oneself, with adulthood, with one's country -- and the discovery, time and again, that somehow there's still plenty worthy of a love song. https://www.kingdreamband.com/

John Calvin Abney
As the world closed down in the spring of 2020, John Calvin Abney's new journey opened up. He sold his belongings, packed up his car, and sojourned west, taking up temporary residence in the rooms and garage apartments of a few close friends. In transit from the Bay Area to Austin, TX, Abney began working on the songs that would become his stirring new album Tourist, out August 5 via Black Mesa Records.
"I felt like a tourist, a quiet figure in the background of town, softly gathering up scenery and stories," Abney said.
One of these places was south of Reno, NV, where he was born, having spent his early years in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. "Not only did I feel like a tourist in this world, I was a stranger in my hometown who recognized no one but the land."
Thematically, it's the natural progression--or unraveling--of Abney's long search for the meaning of home, the crowning voice of a three-part harmony that includes 2019's Safe Passage and 2020's Familiar Ground, which netted kind words from RollingStone.com, No Depression, and American Songwriter.
Abney is rarely not on the road, maintaining a grueling tour schedule as a solo artist and as a sideman whose credits include years accompanying and recording with Samantha Crain and John Moreland, recent dates with up-and-comers Lizzie No and Margo Cilker, a 2022 solo performance at the Ryman Auditorium, and opening--with a full rock band in tow--a home state show for Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit.
Finally at peace with his place in the world, which is not a particular place at all, Abney has never sounded so grounded, so full of life, so capable of uniquely capturing a part of his life and then leaving it for us, the listeners, to discover for ourselves.
