VANESSA LIVELY

Eclectic, bilingual songwriter and nonprofit founder Vanessa Lively brings passion and fire to her heart-centric writing style and way of living. She has an activist heart and a compassionate attitude that is front and center. “It is music that needs to be heard, shared and experienced” -Gabino Iglesias, The Austin Post.

Her latest release Truth Is chronicles a difficult chapter in her life and showcases her resilience and unbreakable joy. Lively’s vocals are the thread weaving her songs together – they are soulful, smoky and lush. She writes poetically and brings a rhythmic beat to the folk songs she composes. Margaret Moser of The Austin Chronicle describes Vanessa’s music as “folk music on fire with worldly rhythms and a Latin pulse.”

Eclectic, bilingual songwriter and nonprofit founder Vanessa Lively brings passion and fire to her heart-centric writing style and way of living. She has an activist heart and a compassionate attitude that is front and center. “It is music that needs to be heard, shared and experienced” says Gabino Iglesias in The Austin Post.

Vanessa's latest release Truth Is showcases her resilience and unbreakable joy. Her lush vocals combine with poetic lyrics, often bringing a rhythmic beat to the folk songs she composes. Vanessa's Latin roots - which include Mexican, Portuguese and Spanish - are apparent in her songs, especially when she sings in Spanish. Margaret Moser of The Austin Chronicle describes Vanessa’s music as “folk music on fire with worldly rhythms and a Latin pulse.”

Vanessa Lively's artistry extends beyond music, embodying a lifestyle of creativity, compassion, and advocacy. In 2017, Lively started a music-based non-profit in Austin called Home Street Music. The program holds music circles with people who have experienced chronic homelessness. In addition to running the non-profit, Lively is a painter, graphic designer and mother of two young boys.

“Music has always been an integral part of Vanessa Lively’s life. She has used it as a means of self-expression and to process the world around her.” – Anna Lassmann, Austin Woman Magazine. Truth Is has been listed as the #1 New Release in June for Kansas Public Radio, #13 on the FAI Folk Radio charts, and named one of the Top Albums of 2022 by Tom Coxworth - Folk Routes (Alberta, Canada).

PATRICE PIKE

It’s hard to describe Patrice Pike’s music as one particular genre. It’s part rock, part R&B, some soul and jazz appear in the mix, and that’s not to mention all the world influences. Though, for listeners of Pike’s music, they would describe it not as a genre, but as an experience. Music is meant to inspire, to evoke emotion, to create a shared experience of the human condition.

Pike’s music and well-crafted lyrics create their own melodic solution to how we can navigate a world full of heartbreak with hope. Even in her songs that don’t shy away from hard topics such as poverty, gun control, and different forms of tragedy, Pike’s music is always about hope and finding the strength to continue.

Whether she’s singing, playing the guitar, or rocking out on percussion, Pike’s music reminds us to be compassionate with ourselves and others, and to celebrate all that this life has to offer.

Patrice has toured with Blues Traveler, Sarah MacLachlan, Allman Brothers, Dave Matthews, John Fogerty, Sinead O’Connor and many others.

Originally from Dallas, Pike moved to Austin in 1992 and was the front woman of the seminal Austin jam band, Little Sister aka Sister Seven. They released a number of well-received studio albums, including This the Trip, which gained Billboard Chart recognition for its track “Know What You Mean.”

After Sister Seven disbanded, Pike continued to play with Sister Seven’s lead guitarist Wayne Sutton and has released several studio and live albums.

In 2017, Pike and Sutton founded a new musical project, aptly called Pike and Sutton, and released the album Heart Is a Compass in April 2020. They were scheduled to tour internationally after playing Austin City Limits Music Festival in 2019.

After the complete implosion of the live music business due to the pandemic, Patrice has re-grouped and is currently working with Hunter Hendrickson and John Bush, both formerly of Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians, among other projects. They are developing a new collection of music together with their band for release in 2024.

EMMA'S REVOLUTION

Known for fearless, truth-telling lyrics and melodies you can't resist singing, Emma's Revolution is the award-winning activist duo of Pat Humphries & Sandy O. Performances feature the duo's signature soaring harmonies and lush acoustic instruments, in songs that span folk to jazz and funk to rock. For more than 20 years, Emma's Revolution has written about critical issues happening in the world, lending their voices to the movements those issues inspire and delivering moving, uplifting performances. Their songs have been praised by Pete Seeger, covered by Holly Near, featured on NPR's All Things Considered and Pacifica's Democracy Now!, and sung around the world.

Emma's Revolution carries on in the spirit of their mentor, Pete Seeger. “Activist musicians inherit a legacy of the indivisibility of truth-telling and soul-stirring,” Pat explains, “We sing stories wrapped in the taste of freedom, the triumph of overcoming, the grief of injustice, weaving stories, melodies and harmonies in a rich alchemy of vintage genres and emerging sounds to create an experience full of humor, heart and hope.” Sandy continues, “Especially in these times--with threats to our democracy, climate chaos, wars, and the continuing effects of the pandemic--we are buoyed and inspired by the activists and communities we work with. Singing is part of what keeps us grounded and connected to one another."

With an expected release date of 2026, a feature documentary, KEEP ON MOVING FORWARD, is being made about Emma's Revolution and their work on the frontlines of peace and social justice movements by award-winning independent filmmaker, Tom Weidlinger. The duo's film fundraiser at famed The Freight & Salvage in Berkeley CA in 2024 sold out, with almost 500 people joining online, as well. The duo's latest recordings are: Evolution, a celebration of the duo's 20th anniversary, with best loved songs including “Swimming to the Other Side”, Pat's signature song which was featured on NPR's “All Things Considered” and Rooted, a musical reflection on joy and justice which includes “Our House is on Fire”, the duo's electrifying call-to-action for the climate which was featured by a national nonprofit co-founded by Noel (Paul) Stookey of Peter, Paul & Mary. A number of songs from Rooted, released as video singles, have collectively garnered more than 500,000 views on social media and charted in Top 10 and Top 25 Songs on folk radio.

As independent artists and queer and non-conforming women, Emma's Revolution has a national presence among communities, organizations and venues that share the duo's vision of valuing people over profit, choosing compassion over violence, demanding accountability and building a more just and sustainable world.
