Celebrating the release of their Plastic Cowboy EP on November 21st! We are the crow- calling disciples of the mysterious Jerry Sharp. We are the authors of dusty old novellas that sit on desert dime store shelves. We are plastic cowboys riding bareback in abandoned attic toybox rodeos.

Born out of an affinity for Edgar Allan Poe, an abundance of vagabond songs, and a mysteriously named 1960 Fender lap steel that grace our tunes, Jerry Sharp & The Telltale Hearts formed in the Willamette Valley in April of 2024.

Drawing on influences from greats like The Byrds, Townes Van Zandt, and Wilco, the vision for our sound is that of classic American roots rock with hints of folk.

The quintet features long time bandmates Jerome Blankenship (guitar, harmonica, accordion, vocals) and Liam Stary (bass/vocals), who also play together in the indie folk rock band Ships to Roam. Songwriting duties are shared by Blankenship and brilliant creator Paul Pederson (guitar/vocals). Cooper Davis (lap steel/resonator) brings a dreamy country rock vibe to the mix. Last but certainly not least, Mike Henke (drums/percussion) rounds out the sound with his decades behind the kit in the Portland music scene.

"All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream."

Soaring, melodic harmonies, and captivating storytelling form the foundation of Falcon Heart's Folk inspired Indie/Rock sound. With influences ranging from Band of Horses and Fleet Foxes to Sublime and Elvis Presley, Falcon Heart expresses love, loss, and lessons learned from the evergreen city of Portland, Oregon.

Falcon Heart was conceived when a Craigslist ad brought musicians and Oregon natives Marcus Glaze and Aaron DeRosso together almost ten years ago. They have been refining their friendship, songwriting, and performance skills through various projects ever since, forming Falcon Heart in 2015 with the addition of bassist Robert Williams and electric violinist Jean Mastaler.

Glaze, a natural born performer, joins his instrumental, vocal, and songwriting talents with those of DeRosso, a meticulous and engaging long-time drummer, singer/songwriter, and recent guitarist. Williams embellishes upon Falcon Heart's melodies with his catchy and intricate bass lines, while Mastaler blends her classical sensibility with her fierce electric violin into the expressive, nuanced, and explosive sound that is Falcon Heart.

Neighbor States is a Yamhill County, Oregon-based band whose blend of backward-looking, forwardthinking, indie, americana, post-everything, and in-the-midst-of-living hooks, harmonies, hum-alongs and haymakers sound familiar but new, mournful but joyful, and bittersweet as a bleary-eyed nighttime drive across state lines to the porch light warmth of arriving home.
