Jessi Lynn Phillips/ Samantha Cooper/ mattijane brooks

Jessi Lynn Phillips: Songwriter and vocalist Jessi Phillips creates subtle Americana music that pays respects to its influences but sounds like nothing but itself. If Harry Nilsson and Patsy Cline had a love child and left it in the forest to be raised by wolves, its cries would sound very similar to this music.

Samantha Cooper:

Samantha Cooper’s voice is a gentle force. Her songs speak for their sound; from contemplative respites to keen PSA’s. A veteran session musician, her voice and violin appear on a wide range of midwestern albums. Her latest video single is a love note to the rights of manoomin (wild rice): Let The Wave (feat. Shara Nova, Jaike Spotted Wolf, Holly T. Bird & Frank Bibeau). Sam works as a freelance musician, an organizer, a youth songwriting guide and a member of Hearth & Hymn.

mattijane brooks: mattijane brooks is a composer, bassist, and music facilitator based in Kalamazoo, MI. Her work includes longform ambient synthesis, live concert and studio work as a solo and backing performer. She also facilitates songwriting workshops for youths. mattijane’s debut solo songwriter EP MT Demos is out now, exclusively on Bandcamp.
