Caroline Spence is a singer-songwriter based in Nashville, TN. Her five solo albums have been featured by publications like Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, and NPR. Established artists like Emmylou Harris, Matt Berninger of The National, Sarah Jarosz and Lori McKenna have joined Caroline on her songs as featured vocalists and her body of work has been streamed over 80 million times.  Caroline has toured as the opening act for artists such as Tyler Childers, Mary Chapin Carpenter, John Moreland, Madi Diaz, Hayes Carll, and American Aquarium in addition to headlining shows across the US, the UK, and Europe. Caroline also loves writing with other artists for their projects as well as with producers for film & tv. Her songs have been placed in television shows on ABC, NBC, Fox and Apple TV as well as in ads for Dove and, most recently, the major motion picture, Lilly, the story of Lilly Ledbetter. Her songs have also been recorded by other artists such as Lucie Silvas, Andrew Combs, Fancy Hagood, Sierra Hull and Clare Bowen. Caroline’s latest album, Heart Go Wild, was released in August of 2025 and reestablishes Spence as an independent artist, arriving after her multi-year run of albums with Rounder Records. She makes the most of that freedom, exploring new techniques in the studio and new directions in her songs. Co-produced Spence, Mark Campbell and Peter Groenwald, the album balances craft with creative experimentation, making room for pop anthems (“Fun at Parties”), emotionally bare ballads (“Confront It”), beat-driven explorations of self (“Soft Animal”), and left-field influences. The result is her most imaginative interpretation of modern-day roots music to date, reaching beyond the swooning, soft-hued Americana of her earlier work to showcase just how colorful and wide-ranging her artistry can be.

For a searcher like Michaela, sitting still was no easy task. Born and raised in a military family that relocated often, she first began garnering national attention with the 2014 release of Ease My Mind, an old-school country collection hailed by The New York Times for its “plain-spoken songs of romantic regret and small-town longing.” After a move from Brooklyn to Nashville, Michaela followed it up in 2016 with the similarly lauded Bright Lights and the Fame, which prompted Rolling Stone to compare her to Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris. However, it was Desert Dove, Michaela’s 2019 Yep Roc debut, that truly marked her critical and commercial breakthrough, landing her festival invitations everywhere from Bonnaroo to XPoNential alongside praise from Billboard, USA Today, The Associated Press, Paste, and more. The World Café raved that “Michaela Anne’s voice shines like a beacon,” while Rolling Stone named the album one of the year’s best country and Americana releases, and NPR hailed lead single “By Our Design” as “one of those moody, breathtaking, stop-you-in-your-tracks songs with a lush, sweeping arrangement all anchored by Anne's stunning vocals.”

After attending Vanderbilt University on a full academic scholarship, Meg McRee traded her newly earned degree for the pursuit of an unpredictable dream as a songwriter. After a few years of waitressing at The Listening Room and nannying in between co-writes, McRee was validated as more than a driven idealist with the signing of her first publishing deal at Hang Your Hat, a creative joint venture with Concord Music Publishing and hit-songwriter Hillary Lindsey. Since, her musical prowess has earned her cuts with Elle King, Warren Zeiders, Ella Langley, Grace Potter, Colby Acuff, Paul Cauthen, Ashley Monroe, Shelby Lynne, Ben Chapman, Harper O’Neill and more. McRee introduced her artistry with debut record Is It Just Me?, produced by Andrew Petroff (Sheryl Crow, Devon Gilfillian), delivering stand-out track “Mary Jane & Chardonnay”. With playlisting across Folk, Americana, and Country playlists, SiriusXM The Highway On The Horizon supported the release with more airplay, following her intro to radio with “Gone As It Gets”, a stand alone collaborative track written and recorded by McRee, Brit Taylor, Adam Chaffins, and Ben Chapman, on SiriusXM Outlaw Country. This past year has been full of notable milestones for the budding McRee, receiving a standing ovation her debut on the Grand Ole Opry stage, performing at coveted festivals including Stagecoach, CMA Fest, and Moon Crush, and supporting tours for Lainey Wilson, Ashley McBryde, Morgan Wade, Marcus King, Hailey Whitters, Lukas Nelson, Flatland Cavalry, Brent Cobb, Red Clay Strays, and Elle King. 2023 closed out with the release of Meg’s live-to-tape History of Heartbreak EP, a collection of new songs about old feelings. Tracks “Wildflower” and “The Moon” feat. Hillary Lindsey and Lori McKenna were highlighted heavily across playlists, with the project as a whole scoring Spotify’s Nashville billboard upon release. Her latest single, “Usually You,” showcases her songwriting prowess with a groovy, genre-blending sound and vivid imagery that transports listeners to Coastal California.
