Embodying contrast, Savannah, GA native Jonah Kagen blends raw, intricate guitar work with lyrics that are as personal as they are universally resonant. Inspired by songwriters like Townes Van Zandt, Jason Isbell, and fingerstyle virtuoso Andy McKee, Kagen channels his introspection into powerful anthems made for the world’s biggest stages. His journey to his debut album Sunflowers and Leather began with a bit of heartbreak and a literal crash. After walking away from a stalled relationship, he bought a truck and an Airstream to chase something real. Just miles into the trip, he got into a car wreck. But instead of quitting, he doubled down, rebuilt, and transformed that Airstream into a mobile studio that carried him across the American West where he wrote, self-produced and recorded his most ambitious work to date.   At just 25, Kagen has already built a remarkable following: over 450 million global streams, 3.5 million monthly Spotify listeners, 800K+ followers across social platforms, and nearly 1 million Shazam tags. Much of it anchored by his breakout hit “God Needs the Devil,” a #1 at Alternative Radio and one of Spotify’s Best Pop Songs of 2024. That song, and much of his recent Black Dress EP, laid the emotional groundwork for Sunflowers and Leather, a 16-track album that explores everything from self-doubt and heartbreak to spiritual questions and the fleeting nature of life itself. Whether collaborating with Sam Barber on “Burn Me” or penning soon-to-be fan favorite “You Again,” an aching track about the long shadow of a past relationship, Kagen writes with the clarity of someone who’s lived it, stripped everything down, and started over. That spirit extends to the road, where he’s played Austin City Limits, Summerfest, AmericanaFest, and more, with festival stops this summer including Under The Big Sky, Calgary Stampede, Bourbon & Beyond, and has been asked to open for the likes of Vance Joy, Wyatt Flores, Cameron Whitcomb, and Chance Peña. With sincerity, ambition, and a mobile studio full of stories, Jonah Kagen has quickly become one of the most compelling new voices in music. His debut album Sunflowers and Leather arrives September 5th via Arista Records.

Anna Graves is an alt-folk artist whose music casts spells through storytelling. Raised on a farm in southern Minnesota, she left home chasing big dreams and bright lights, only to return years later and rediscover the mystical magic that first sparked her songwriting. Her sound weaves cinematic pop melodies with folk intimacy where vulnerability transforms into power, and heartbreak alchemizes into healing. With over 25 million global streams and syncs in the Golden Globe-nominated series Nobody Wants This, as well as Brilliant Minds, and Chicken Sisters, Graves has built a devoted following through authentic connection rather than traditional industry machinery. Her most recent single “Hollow Bones” has 1.6M streams driven entirely by fan passion, with 15K+ TikTok creates (18M+ views)  sparking organic trends across witchtok and home aesthetic communities. The track resonated so deeply that Shaboozey selected it as one of his five favorite songs for Harper’s Bazaar. She’s opened for legends like Stevie Nicks, The Head and the Heart, and Maren Morris, bringing her intimate acoustic storytelling to stages across North America. Now signed to Rounder Records, Graves returns with Burn On, a song she first wrote in high school, rediscovered on an old computer, and reimagined with producer Davis Naish (Forest Blakk, Thomas Day, Betany Cosentino, Maggie Rose). The result is a haunting anthem of rediscovery that feels both ancient and urgent, grounded in Minnesota soil but reaching toward something universal. Where folk music meets mystical storytelling, where farm life intersects with literary fantasy that’s where you’ll find Anna Graves, singing songs for the haunted and the hopeful.
