In 2018, Phillip-Michael Scales had a whirlwind of year. Between promoting his electric EP, Sinner-Songwriter, and winning a year of rent in downtown Chicago as Magellan Group’s “Musician in Residence,” he ended up playing over 300 shows. Tenacity and work ethic have always come naturally to Scales, between being a native of metro Detroit and the nephew of the late B.B. King, who played 300 shows in a year himself.

Raised on blues and motown, then discovering indie rock in his formative years, his latest single “Feels like Home,” manages to keep a foot in each world. “Feels Like Home” is an upbeat, bluesy romp with a heavy groove that you’d play at the beginning of a summer road trip. The song captures the feeling of wanderlust that comes with searching for your place in the world. Knowing it’s out there, just not sure exactly where. “I don’t know where I’m going, but it feels like home.”

This summer he played the prestigious Blues Passions Festival in Cognac, France as well as a handful of other dates in Europe. Scales graduated from Berklee College of Music and has opened for Fantastic Negrito, Anderson East, Guster, David Cook, Bethany Joy Lenz, Matt Hires, Billy Rafoul, Crystal Bowersox, Tyler Hilton, Jon McLaughlin, Cory Brannan and Kate Voegele.

Lane Norberg is a singer-songwriter from Portland, OR. Growing up in Montana, he learned to play piano and drums, but didn't begin playing the guitar or singing until college. During these years, Norberg began to play and record mostly cover songs, but soon he was writing his own music and quickly began to gain fans in the area. After graduating from college in 2016, Norberg shifted his focus towards his music career, and got connected with Chris Cunningham, a local producer and musician. Cunningham owns

Basecamp Recording Studio, a recording space located in beautiful Bozeman, MT, where Norberg recorded his first EP "Under the Trees". The EP is now available on every digital music platform.

Norberg's acoustic-pop sound is accompanied by lyrics that are thoughtful and often written from personal experience. His songs are driven by faith, love, and all of life's ups and downs. In his own words: "I believe that music is a unique way to express the kinds of things we all go through every day. I want my music to be relatable to people, because I think you can really communicate an idea through song if your lyrics are believable and authentic." Musically, the songs are very approachable and easy to listen to, and the style is beautifully simplistic.

Lane Norberg's music continues to influence people everywhere. Since releasing the "Under the Trees"

EP in Fall 2017, he has toured all over the Pacific Northwest, gaining many faithful fans and listeners along the way. Norberg currently lives in Portland, OR, where he continues to write, record, and perform his music.

With his imagination often dwelling in the very real places of his past and present, as well as in the possible future, McDougall’s songs may very well seat you by a coffee-can fire in the middle of a dry California river-bed, pull you up onto a freight train in the lush spring-time of the Pacific northwest, raise your voice in hymns with the entire family on a Thanksgiving afternoon, or haste your good-bye to civilization as you know it, as you ramble on with all you possess on your back.

Fact, fiction, and a little in between, McDougall carries on the relevant tradition of oral history and folklore, making it a part of everyday life and sharing it with those around him. Inspired by the word of God, his family, friends, fellow workers and fellow travelers met along the way, McDougall wishes to keep to the unwritten rule of using what was left by those before while leaving something of your own for those who will come after.
