Jess Bush
Born into a musical family, Jess Bush took her first piano lesson at the age of seven and was instantly hooked. Inspired by the musical open heart surgery of legends like Carole King, Stevie Nicks, and Brandi Carlile, her soulful vocals, raw, honest lyrics, and bluesy piano composition result in an unmistakably earnest sound in the neighborhood of Americana Roots music. In May of 2023, Jess was awarded "Best Overall" at the Songwriters at Play songwriting competition. In addition to her solo project, Jess has provided keys, synth, and/or vocals for other artists including Wryn, Dan Sadin, Nicole Sophia, Wild Coast, Nautical Thrust, Bradberri, The Brave Kind, Maliah, and more.
Tod Weidner
Singer-songwriter Tod Weidner grew up in rural Ohio where he soon became a fixture in the thriving music scene of nearby Dayton, most notably as the co-founder, singer, and songwriter of Shrug. Stints with bands like Motel Beds and Set The Controls took him around the country, playing everywhere from backstreet dives to theaters. All the while, Tod was logging countless hours onstage playing solo acoustic sets, opening for legends and honing his craft. Falling in the general stylistic zip code of artists like Tom Petty, Leonard Cohen, and Mark Lanegan, Grammy-nominated folk singer Bill Morrissey once called Tod “one of the best lyricists I’ve ever heard.”
Jacob Cole
Jacob Cole is a multifaceted independent artist based in Santa Barbara, previously fronting Saint Anne’s Place, now current guitarist for Dante Elephante.
