“With lyrics covering everything from vigilante cryptids to bad trips in abandoned trailers, Adira Sharkey’s songwriting sets her apart in the Americana scene. Her low-slung voice lends itself perfectly to her raw, unfiltered storytelling, where her songs take audiences to the darker side of love, longing, and life’s misadventures. Like any unusual art, her voice isn’t for everyone, even inspiring one YouTube commenter to note “weird voice.” Still others are won over by Adira’s low rasp: “[she’s] like if Cher was country”, explained PNW folk pop favorite Izzy Burns. Often joined by an upright bass player, her rhythmic vocal arrangements and percussive finger picking is complemented with traditional roots music accompaniment, delivering a punchy alt-country sound. She’s honed a bluesy folk feel from years of playing shows up and down the west coast, and has recently had the distinct honor of opening for Grammy nominated artist Kelsey Waldon at Seattle’s Sunset Tavern. Her forthcoming debut album evokes a genre melting blend of Tom Waits and Patsy Cline, with just a pinch of Ani DiFranco. “
Warren Jackson Hearne is a nationally touring singer, multi-instrumentalist, and finger-style guitarist who writes original music blending Southern, folk, experimental, jazz, and blues. Hearne has spent decades refining a style that the Great Falls Tribune calls “one of the most original folk musicians working today."
Warren was born to exceptionally musical parents, Lindy and Lynda Hearne. The Hearnes started Warren on music early, enrolling him in piano lessons at age four, continuing musical training in Memphis playing drums while spending formative hours in the control room at Ardent Studios where his father recorded. Lynda relocated to Montana, and through Warren’s schooling in Missoula, he joined the marching band and eventually found the guitar. By fifth grade, he was playing violin, bass, clarinets, and saxes, leading him to begin composing his own songs at age 15.
The Dallas Observer noted that 'everything Warren Jackson Hearne touches turns to gold', frequently nominating his solo work, projects, and collaborators for awards. If folk music is defined as either a type of traditional music that is passed down through families or as Mike Seeger puts it “all the music that fits between the cracks,” then Hearne is comfortable with that category.
He is working on a new solo album, an album for a new band, and longer pieces for theater and other multi-media projects. You can bet that all of these projects will strike the listener as different from the norm, for as the Denton Record-Chronicle says, "everything about him is authentically and uniquely him.
Red McAdam, A Jersey City, NJ native, Red makes no effort to fit the country mold, but rather draws from the unique and largely unsung landscape of his world. Stranger-than-fiction episodes from his time in the emergency services, hazy memories from the road, preposterous characters with bizarre motives, and plain old bullshit mingle with vulnerable expressions of a tumultuous life and threadbare heart.

Stranger-than-fiction episodes from his time in the emergency services, hazy memories from the road, preposterous characters with bizarre motives, and plain old bullshit mingle with vulnerable expressions of a tumultuous life and threadbare heart. A Wildland Firefighter, EMT, passionate outdoorsman, recovering alcoholic, and chronic rambler—McAdam earned whatever authenticity the country audience craves through his life, not place of birth.
