SLOW PACKER (Asheville, NC)

Slow Packer is a collaborative music project between two brothers, Jack Victor and Mike Henry Johnson. The two of them started playing music together as young kids, and performed and recorded with various bands over the years. This project is a return to their roots, working side-by-side to create original songs that reflect their musical background and multitude of shared experiences.

lighthearted (Athens, GA)

“lighthearted” is an alternative, folk band based in Athens, Georgia. The band typically consists of five
members with songs ranging from soft and contemplative to upbeat and groovy. Ethan Fogus of
Immersive Atlanta said it best: "lighthearted is the songwriting venture of twin sisters Gracie Huffman
and Eliza Lemmon. Featuring Win Cawthorne (electric guitar), Toni Hunlo (drums), and Aidan Hill
(bass), the Athens quintet writes the type of hushed, kaleidoscopic songs that appeal to anyone that
takes to gorgeous harmonies and plumbing the depths of human nature. Together, the band make
perfect music for any long, introspective drive" (Read full article here).
Twin sisters Eliza and Gracie have been playing music together since they can remember, but the band
officially formed in 2019. They have been fine-tuning their debut album, releasing four singles in the
process that span timbres from introspective and chill to fresh and buoyant. Most recently, they
released "again & again," which was added to Spotify editorial playlists "Fresh Finds," "Fresh Finds
Indie," and "Fresh Finds Folk." This is the last single off of their upcoming debut album, “from here on
out,” that released on April 21st, 2023.
