JENNY REYNOLDS:

Jenny Reynolds lives her life following her mission statement of “Work hard, be nice, keep moving.” She is currently at work on a new record with Mark Hallman and André Moran at Cedar Creek Studio.

Her latest record “Any Kind of Angel” was also produced by Mark Hallman and André Moran at Congress House Studio, and was released on June 19, 2020. The recording features Jaimee Harris, BettySoo, Warren Hood, Oliver Steck, and Scrappy Jud Newcomb. It is her fourth release.

A native New Englander, Reynolds has worked with Boston-based artists Duke Levine, Kevin Barry and Catie Curtis. She has played the Old Settlers Music Festival, the Kerrville Folk Festival, The Philadelphia Folk Festival, Club Passim, the Cactus Cafe, and the Bluebird Cafe, and has worked with Grammy winner Ruthie Foster and Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame inductee Ian McLagan. She was an Official Showcase Artist at SXSW 2008 and 2018, and was named “Best New Local Act” in the Austin Chronicle’s 2005 Critics Poll.

Her music has been on major network television and independent film, including ABC’s “All My Children.” She is also the producer of Austin's “Williams Nite: A Tribute to the Music of Hank and Lucinda Williams,” a “kinda annual” show that will happen for the thirteenth time in 2025. Proceeds benefit the SIMS Foundation.

SUSAN GIBSON:

Susan Gibson knows all about blessings. Roundabout 28 years ago, she wrote herself a wish that grew up and went off on its own to become one of the biggest country songs of all time. Smiling at its success from afar, Gibson went on to happily live her own best life, free to hit the open road with a van full of happy dogs and a heart full of songs to share with attentive audiences across the country — and all the room in the world to "make the big mistakes" that a wide-eyed dreamer kinda gal could ever ask for. 

All that said, though, Gibson is not a lives-in-la-la-land kinda dreamer. Blessed as she's been, the award-winning songwriter also knows all too well that in the real world, sometimes there's just no avoiding "the hard stuff." Mind, not the kind she consciously swore off way back on Valentine's Day, 2010; after nine years of humble sobriety, it's easy enough, relatively speaking, for her to resist the temptation of a bottle of wine at a friend's table or politely decline the occasional unasked-for drink sent to the stage by a fan. But positive life choices and willpower alone offer no proof or protection against the kind of knock-you-on-your-butt shots that life itself can serve up on the regular. The best you can do, she's learned, is take each hit as it comes, get back up again, and try to find your wits and center of gravity before the next wallop lands. Because as sure as hearts break, van transmissions fail, and loved ones (both two- and four-legged) pass on, you can always count on another one coming.

ELIZABETH WILLS:

Texas-based singer-songwriter and Americana artist Elizabeth Wills has a voice that Dallas Morning News compared to “female singer/songwriter greats such as Carly Simon, Shawn Colvin, and Sarah McLachlan.” Her songs – real and riveting – keep listeners engaged start to finish.

Influenced by writer-artists Joni Mitchell, Carole King, and their contemporaries, Wills bases songs in honesty, goodness, and vulnerability. Fans relate, and the industry has taken notice as well. Wills is a past winner of the Dallas, Texas-based B.W. Stevenson Songwriting Competition and was a finalist in the New Folk Competition (Kerrville Folk Festival).

With her band and as a solo artist, Wills has played notable festivals like ACL, South by Southwest, Kerrville Folk Festival, Austin City Limits Festival, Southwest Regional Folk Alliance, The Backyard and more. She enjoys regular airplay on college radio stations across the country and NPR affiliates in Austin, Dallas, and Fort Worth, and she has guested on the nationally syndicated radio show "What D’ya Know."

JANA POCHOP:

Singer-songwriter and producer Jana Pochop (Jan-a Po-cop) is a wanderer with a penchant for folk-pop songs and universe pondering, particularly when it comes to art and the places it’s created.

Jana’s music, in large part, has been influenced by the culturally rich cities of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Austin, Texas. The influence of the expansive American West is revealed with just a cursory listen to her work, from her initial release The Early Year in 2008 to the 2022 critically acclaimed The Astronaut. Listening to her songs with intent is akin to standing in the early morning desert, surrounded by a sonic landscape that enchants with both its scope and depth, slowly revealing and changing itself as the light of day passes into night.

Themes of time, space, and place that were born through years of touring nationally are woven into arrangements of music and lyrics that surround the listener with a succession of remembered and anticipated events. Whether it’s the distance between people and locations (“12-Hours By Car”), or feelings that overwhelm with doubt (“My Deepest Fear”) and desire (“Solar System”), Jana’s work is a testament to how people are forever changed by both the enjoyment and production of art.
