Kat Fountain

The very first harmonica that Kat Fountain ever purchased was in Connecticut toy store in the mid 1990's. What initially was an impulse buy on an overcast day, turned out to be the corner-stone in her musical career. Over the last ten years, Kat has traveled and toured across the United States as a harmonica soloist and songwriter in several different projects. Her rare ability to absolutely tear apart the harmonica, play multiple instruments and write meaningful lyrics to classic blues and country inspired melodies has never ceased to inspire those who listen to her music.

In Kat's debut album, "Care Less, Do More", her songwriting provides a haunting and provoking reminder that roots acoustic music is anything from dead. She lays down original tunes that come from the true stories in a way that's genuine. Recorded in her living room genuine. Fountain's bluegrass-inspired rhythm guitar picking and folky songwriting resonates with people who are looking for something real, and with something with grit. Here in Portland Oregon, Kat dedicates her time to continuously shaping her multi-instrumental base, and catching salmon in the Pacific Northwest.

Daisy O'Connor

In response to her quarter life crisis, singer-songwriter Daisy O'Connor quit her career in social work and hit the road to write songs, live simply, and "do be do" what she loves today.

"Music saved my life, reaching my darkest moments and reminding me I'm not alone. I want to shine that light back." An engaging, humorous, and candid performer, Daisy prefers to perform solo - folksinger style- and tours as much as she can, always taking the road less travelled.

Daisy's debut full length album "Lightchasers" (released February 2017) mixes indie folk, rock, psych, americana, country and pop into a soothing groove that's all her own: quirky, captivating, cleverly queer, and crooning.

Home schooled Catholic in the country, young Daisy saved money to buy her first guitar by selling sheep and taught herself how to play in her unheated attic bedroom. Daisy went to college at 16, keeping music a bedroom hobby. Post-college Daisy spent 5 years working with women on the run from love gone wrong at a rural domestic violence shelter. During that time, Daisy met blue collar songwriter Gregory Alan Isakov, who inspired her to start writing songs. A native of Washington state, Daisy found rich songwriting soil in Texas and now calls Austin home. In 2014, Daisy self-published the "Do Be Do" EP, which quickly established her in the Austin music community, earning media attention, radio play, and a growing global fanbase. Daisy co-wrote the title track with legendary songwriter Steve Poltz, who wrote hit songs with Jewel (including "You Were Meant For Me" which is one of the first songs Daisy learned to play on guitar.) It's a small world indeed.
