Mya Byrne
Mya Byrne is a rich, powerful Americana storyteller, delivering a blend of country, glam-pop, blues and poetic folk songwriting. Out and proud, she is a leader for the presence of queer trans women in country and Americana. Recently featured on Reba's Top Ten remix of "I'm A Survivor" (on mandolin & lap steel), Byrne was named a 2022 Artist to Watch by Nashville Scene/CMT, and wrote and performed the theme song for Amazon Music's Country Heat podcast hosted by Kelly Sutton. Her new single, "Autumn Sun", is out now on Kill Rock Stars, and debuted in Rolling Stone. With elements of John Prine's whimsy, Leonard Cohen's spiritual gravitas, Dylan's wit, and Lucinda Williams' aching sensuality, and like a crackling backyard fire outside of a city at dusk, stars on one side of the sky and light pollution on the other, Mya's music is in the pocket of traditional country and Americana, yet firmly rooted in the modern world.

Katie Anne Mitchell
There aren't many artists around who can transport you into a story the way Katie Anne Mitchell does. Her music is folky and sometimes dark, but always deep in a richness that will keep you listening to every syllable and inflection. Her live performances invite you in, and afterwards you'll be changed like Alice after Wonderland. As a Los Angeles-based actor, she won roles in acclaimed films including Frank (starring Michael Fassbender). Now based in Oakland, she has a strong following eager to hear her perform her new EP, produced by Scott Mickelson.
