A dynamic performer and vocalist, Dinsmore brings her songs to the stage with an undeniable presence. Her music is powerful and emotional, with influences ranging from Jazz to Rock to Americana. Dinsmore’s performances quickly gained a following in Seattle, allowing her to open for notable artists such as Colin Hay and the Dip. Her voice is at one triumphant and intimate. The perfect soundtrack to dropping off the last of your ex’s stuff and driving off into the sunset." -Artist Bio ALEX JOHNSTON: spotify.com "Alex Johnston is a folktronica singer-songwriter and producer from North Everett. Inspired by genres including ambient, art music, electronic, classical, and concept albums, Johnston’s music has been described as “deeply introspective, yet upliftingly pensive” and “an aural kaleidoscope” that takes listeners to “an ethereal plane”. Since 2016, Alex has released 10 full length albums and 14 singles. Alex’s discography includes concept albums that weave together soundscapes to lead the listener through a lush sonic story, simple intimate acoustic albums, several collections of instrumental ambient work, and is currently exploring more upbeat styles, even producing his own music video for his dancey single “Dizzy” that even came with a quieter version. When his music isn’t layered and busy, he likes to keep things minimal carrying you through the terrains of your heart and mind with impressionistic lyrics, tender instrumentation, and a magnetically emotive voice." -Artist Bio LUKE FRANCIS: lukefrancismusic.com "Luke Francis is a singer/songwriter whose work blends sun-splashed Laurel Canyon folk with indie rock and Americana sensibilities. He has had the privilege of sharing the stage with John Paul White (The Civil Wars), Allison Russell, Dylan LeBlanc, and others. He is also a member of the band Fretland. Francis released an EP, Handful of Songs, produced by Taylor Carroll (Brandi Carlile, Big Thief) May 2022 and is currently working on his first full-length record due 2023." -Artist Bio EBO BARTON: ebobarton.com "Ebo Barton comes from salt— from the moment before worlds converge. In this world, we are still trying to articulate that mixed Black and Filipino, Transgender and Non-Binary, Queer, Artists and Educators not only matter but are precious. In another world, Barton is loved, safe, and valued. The only difference being that the latter is a path they must make themselves.
