TOM BRETON is an award-winning multi-instrumentalist who has toured the US, Canada, and Australia. He recently performed live on Fox News and the music video for his debut single WON a California Music Video Award for Best Rock Video in early 2024. Tom Breton's journey began In the spring of 2021 when he turned a shuttle bus into a mobile stage. That summer he played 80 outdoor shows, 53 of which were part of a national tour completed in 25 days. This crazy idea resulted in National Television appearances (CBC National and Global News) and it later gave him another idea. Upon the completion of the Carol Tour (the name of the bus) Tom finished writing his debut album and started recording the songs INSIDE the bus. The results were so good he believed his bias was clouding his judgment but after getting the thumbs up from his "No-BS" mixing engineer, he finished recording an entire album. Tom released his debut single "Come Down" in October 2023 and his highly anticipated debut album is expected to drop later in 2024. Tom has also previously worked with Juno-nominee (The Glorious Sons) John-Angus MacDonald of The Trews and has shared the stage with international acts such as Pop Evil, The Blue Stones, and Sloan.

Miranda Dawn and Chris Hawkes first met when he crossed an Austin barroom floor and asked her to dance. The first time they sang together they found a sound Texas Monthly calls “undeniably intimate". Their initial duo effort, Golden Heart, climbed to No. 25 in Billboard’s Folk chart and landed at No. 2 in iTunes singer-songwriter albums and kicked off a whirlwind of cross-country touring and co-writing. Dawn and Hawkes recorded their second album, Yours and Mine, in between tour dates with influential artists Alison Krauss & Dan Tyminski, Patty Griffin, Old 97s, Robert Earl Keen and showcasing at festivals like Austin City Limits, Folk Alliance, AmericanaFest, South By Southwest and TEDx on tours in the US and abroad in Denmark, Germany and Australia. “We'd tour, come home inspired, record a song, tour, rinse and repeat” explains Dawn. Acoustic Guitar hails the musicality of Yours and Mine, as “Impeccable vocal harmonies and instrumentation” Huffington Post summarizes “Transcendent alternative-folk — you will find yourself craving more from this amazing, dynamic duo.” While touring, the duo stored their possessions and lived on the road, drawing a lyrical soundtrack from American deserts and mountains, to the South Australian coast. Upon returning to Austin, Dawn and Hawkes finished self-producing their second full-length album, The Other Side, a collection the Austin American Statesman calls “10 new tracks of sweet folk-rock — instantly appealing tunes — rooted in the singer songwriter heyday of the early 1970’s, they also fit well into the modern-day indie-folk revival.” The newest album from Dawn and Hawkes, Light Inside, was primarily recorded live – in one day – at Arlyn Studios, in Austin, TX. The songs on Light Inside, illuminated by the warm glow of family homes, old guitars, familiar stories, new infatuation and loyal, long-standing love, are captured with the sincerity of their live show. In a time when the world seems more divided than ever, Dawn and Hawkes celebrate hope and our common humanity with an invitation to embrace the light that comes from all of us.

Since moving to Austin, Texas in 2015, cellist Dan Radin has earned a reputation for being a go-to hired gun in the scene. He’s backed The Voice contestants, played in bands opening for Grammy/Tony winners, and performed at official SXSW showcases. This year, the cellist decided to reveal himself to the world as an equally-capable singer-songwriter with the release of his first solo album, “Romance for Antiheroes.” Radin was introduced to cello lessons in 3rd grade through a school program, which subsequently thrust him into a comprehensive classical music education. While in college, Radin began to sit in with folk bands and singer-songwriters, learning to leverage his relative pitch to play by ear and improvise cello solos like a lead guitarist. He moved to Austin after graduation, where he’s since gigged aggressively (Radin estimates nearly 1000 performances). To fill any gaps in his schedule, Radin began side-hustling as a guitarist/singer. Gradually becoming more comfortable with a frontman role, the cellist decided it was time to share his own original music with the world. Radin’s vision of cello-led acoustic rock prominently displays his singer-songwriter roots, garnering frequent comparisons to John Mayer and Dave Matthews. Radin’s debut solo album, “Romance for Antiheroes,” is a collection of songs documenting failed relationships; however, at its core, the album is a coming out party for a shy cellist who has begun to come into his own as a full-fledged artist.
