Lilli Lewis
Athens, Georgia native turned New Orleans Folk Rock Diva Lilli Lewis is a powerhouse composer and performing artist with "storytelling with transformative empathy and classically trained poise." Jewly Hight, NPR.org.
Lewis is a voice for the voiceless in Americana, her third full album for Louisiana Red Hot Records, lauded by NPR, Rolling Stone, Offbeat Magazine and the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
"One of the most powerful records of 2021, Lilli Lewis' Americana offers up 13 tracks of raw, unfiltered talent...jaw-dropping vocal stylings, sharp lyricism, irresistible hooks and a needed perspective that's often overlooked..." Lorie Leibig, TheBoot.com
"A powerhouse performer adding her unique voice and talent to the national discussion of the state of social justice in America." - The Kennedy Center
The self-professed Folk Rock Diva Lili Lewis returns to recording with a rootsy, country soul album that really hits the spot with its melancholy meditations and narratives. - Americana UK

Secret Emchy Society
From the first notes of the lead-off track to Secret Emchy Society's new album, Gold Country / Country Gold, you realize that you're not in Kansas anymore. It's a gothy, spaghetti western version of "Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly Fond Of Each Other," written by Latin country musician Ned Sublette but popularized by Willie Nelson. It's also widely recognized as the first LGBT-themed mainstream country song by a major artist. Par for the course if you know Cindy Emch's previous work. As the First Lady of Queer Country, she is known for her distinct voice and ability to blend Americana, California Country, Hellbilly, Goth, and Honky Tonk, spinning radically distinctive tales from her singular perspective.
Emchy's not only a highly regarded musician in the Bay Area--nominated three times for Best Local LGBT Band by Bay Area Reporter--but she's also a seasoned student of the history of LGBTQA musicians dipping their toes in genres that have always been "off-limits" for non-hetero participants. She was the founding editor of Country Queer and still hosts Gimme Country's popular Emchy's Outlaw Americana show. She's also worked with the original queer country cowboy Lavender Country, the award-winning singer-songwriter Amythyst Kiah (from the all-women-of-color supergroup Our Native Daughters), out transwoman folk-punker Shawna Virago, and Haitian-born / UK based Alt-Americana Country-Noire singer DeLila Black when Emchy produced the 2021 National Queer Arts Festival Showcase. Her previous albums have landed her on the road with some of the most popular acts in the genre: Mercy Bell, Sarah Shook & the Disarmers, and Karen & The Sorrows, led by the originator of the Gay Ole Opry herself, Karen Pittleman. Needless to say, Cindy Emch has become well-known to anyone paying attention to the increasing popularity of turning old tropes on their ear by melding classic twang with a punk ethos.
