JOHN MORELAND

After a celebrated run through the 2010s that cemented his place in modern Americana, John Moreland took a sharp turn in the 2020s, first with 2022’s experimental Birds In The Ceiling and then by stepping away from music entirely for a year of rest and digital detox. That sabbatical birthed Visitor (2024), a raw, home-recorded folk-rock album that reconnects with the emotional immediacy of his early work while tackling the spiritual and societal costs of modern life. Through sparse arrangements, lyrical introspection, and a renewed artistic clarity, Moreland confronts alienation, grief, and the numbing pace of the digital age, offering instead a path of simplification and self-honesty. With songs that blend personal reckoning and pointed social commentary, Visitor is both a return to form and a powerful evolution, affirming Moreland’s role not just as a songwriter, but as a seeker of truth in a world built on noise.


MARIEL BUCKLEY

Unapologetically genuine, wry and soft-hearted, Mariel Buckley has planted her flag firmly as a songwriter who is comfortable living on the fringes, writing songs for the underdogs. With a fearless spirit that’s consistently broken through both genre and personal barriers, Buckley’s unique blend of angst-driven alt-folk has made her a standout artist, offering a fresh and dynamic perspective on modern Americana music.

Buckley’s past albums, 2022’s Polaris Music Prize nominated Everywhere I Used To Be and 2018’s Driving In The Dark, has been praised by notable publications and recognized with prestigious accolades. She’s toured across Canada, America and the EU/UK, as well as showcasing at SXSW, Americanafest, The Philadelphia Folk Fest, and Folk Alliance International. She’s shared stages with artists like Orville Peck, k.d. lang, The Bros Landreth and Frazey Ford, among many others.

An avid admirer of his work, Mariel connected with Nashville based alt-Americana producer, Jarrad K (Ruston Kelly, Lucie Silvas, Fancy Hagood, Goo Goo Dolls) for her new single, Vending Machines.  Marking the beginning of a new sonic and individual chapter, the song exudes darker instrumentation and themes. Despite having grittier undertones, the writing is intentionally vulnerable and specific, resulting in something inviting and universal. “Vending Machines” explores themes of self-doubt, uncertainty, and questioning one's path.
