Dean Johnson's rustic tenor and simply strummed acoustic guitar have been perking up ears around the Pacific Northwest and beyond for over a decade now. Strictly through live performances—singing existential cowboy waltzes, ballads about longing to find a way out of heaven, honest confessionals, and other heartbreakers from a timeless yet unique perspective—he has gradually built a devoted fan base. At long last, his debut album 'Nothing for Me, Please' is out now on Mama Bird Recording Co.                                                                                           Joy Pearson has been performing live music since she was 4 years old because she had a stage mom for a Dad and a lot of time on her hands in rural MT. She has helped found several bands, including Lenore, the band her mother has called her "most listenable project so far!" She now lives in Portland Oregon and is releasing new music in the spring of 2024.
