Lo Pony
Lo Pony is a queer folk group based in Portland, Oregon. Known for their intricate three-part harmonies, dreamy soundscapes, and quirky social media presence, the band has garnered a dedicated following, especially within the queer community. Their forthcoming EP, "Elephant Sky," is an exploration of loss, nostalgia, and a slow appreciation for the beauty of everyday life. This tender 6-song debut features their signature blend of delicate vocals and lush, expansive instrumentals reminiscent of the sweeping landscapes of the Shasta Valley region from which the songs first originated. Inspired by the ways visual and lyrical storytelling can intersect and inform one another, the record is accompanied by a trio of self-produced music videos that weave together themes of self-discovery, the concept of home, and the beauty of friends who find you in the darkness and hold you through it.

Layperson
Julian Morris has been writing and recording as Layperson for 10 years. Culling inspiration from salt of the earth lyricists like Iris Dement and Townes Van Zandt, Julian’s music is earnest and true to his life experience. Julian transitioned in 2015, which permanently altered his singing voice. Re-learning the voice as a new instrument allowed him deeper access to expression. Julian moved to Portland, OR in 2008. He writes and records the majority of his music from home. Julian has released records with Portland based label Good Cheer and NY based Lobby Art.
