Artists
Hank Lemon
Hank Lemon is a contemporary folk-rock artist who’s group has bringing traditional-twang with an indie-rock swagger to the Seattle music scene 2022. Noted for their on-stage chemistry and swingdance-ready hooks, they left an impression at BAMF! (Bellingham Arts and Music Festival 2022) and Brodie Nation Music Fest (Carnation, WA 2023). Henry LaVallee (Naked Giants) fronts the group wielding an acoustic guitar and an energetic live show. His backing band, “The Last Shots” is made up of Gianni Aiello & Grant Mullen (also of Naked Giants) on lead guitar & bass, Mike Bayer (Richard Simeonoff, Low Hums) on drums, and you can always count on Hank’s own dad, “Day-One-Dave”, to be playing harp up front.
Their eponymous 15-track debut album was independently released in 2023 and received warmly at their release show at Ballard’s iconic folk bar, Conor Byrne. They are looking forward to releasing their follow-up EP this summer and continuing to play shows with friends old and new.

Foot Ox
Foot Ox is an experimental, and somewhat psychedelic, folk band from Portland, Oregon. The music and lyrics are inspired by dreams, deal with love, death, adventure, heartbreak, and fear, and offer indirect and abstract imagery. Subtle orchestration gives the impression of Intimacy even while playing in front of large crowds. The sound swings from driving, upbeat, full-band arrangements to sparse, quiet, and emotional moments of vulnerability.
