Anna Ash writes songs of profound, startling, sensuous insight. Call it country, call it rock’n’roll, call it pulling off the road somewhere between Silver Lake and Bakersfield just to roll a cigarette, kick at the gravel, and brood. She's released four full-length albums, but has become widely known due to the success of her version of Lucinda Williams' "Righteously," which was an outtake from her 2016 album Floodlights.

Michigan born, currently Los Angeles based, her music has been featured on the Showtime series’ Billions and Masters of Sex, as well as Freeform’s The Fosters and Epix’s docuseries Helter Skelter: An American Myth. Her 2022 album, Sleeper, received attention from No Depression, Americana UK, and BBC Radio Scotland, and placements on Spotify’s Fresh Finds, Torch and Twang, Noir, and Fresh Folk playlists. In 2013, her first album, These Holy Days, was released in Japan on Tugboat Records. She is currently working on her fifth album.

Michigan born and L.A. based Malena Cadiz is a lady of the canyon waylaid at a suburban strip mall, acutely aware of how romance shines through even in the moments of grit and desolation.  There’s something Didion-esque about Cadiz’s storytelling as she crafts deeply personal vignettes that reveal greater narratives about the world we live in. The 10 songs on her 3rd full length album,  Hellbent & Moonbound are full of wit and vulnerability, capturing the strange beauty and humor of day to day life.

Growing up a second-generation Filipino-American, Cadiz bounced between living in the suburbs of Michigan with her mother and bustling Singapore with her father. “I always felt rootless, not quite belonging to either place.” This longing for home and search for center rests at the heart of Cadiz’s work.

The Fader has likened her work to Karen Dalton and NPR compared her to "an earthbound Joanna Newsom, Cadiz has a voice that grabs you within seconds." Her songs have been featured on “Nancy Drew" (CW), "Lucifer" (Netflix), "REBEL" (ABC), among others.
