SIMON JOYNER (Omaha, NE) is a world-renowned American singer-songwriter from Omaha, Nebraska who has released albums on independent labels since the early 90’s. His music is often compared to Leonard Cohen, Lou Reed, and Townes Van Zandt for its exploration of dark themes and its poetic storytelling. Gillian Welch calls him her favorite poet and Kevin Morby and Conor Oberst both claim him as a major influence.
"Omaha has given us the reigning heir to Henry Miller's dark emotional mirror, Townes Van Zandt's three-chord moan, and Lou Reed's warehouse minimalism: his name is Simon Joyner." — Gillian Welch
LEAH SENIOR - Australian folk diviner Leah Senior silences audiences with vivid lyricism and a voice that soars with a disarmingly honest Sandy Denny-like clarity. Quietly revered as a master songwriter, she effortlessly weaves together spring-time baroque pop playfulness with a fragile blend of 60’s bedroom folk.
A chance late night encounter with King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard saw Leah Senior joining their independent label Flightless to release her first three albums.
Her captivating live performances have seen her perform extensively throughout Australia and Europe opening for the likes of Jessica Pratt, Bedouine, Jeff Tweedy and Juliana Barwick.
JACKIE KELSH is an optimistically sardonic storyteller who will have you laughing hysterically one moment and drinking to forget the chaos of life the next.
