Olivia and the Lovers are a queer and trans cowboy band based in Chicago, working to increase visibility and safety for queer voices, bodies, and narratives in the country music scene. Taking inspiration both from classic American folk music and cowboy standards, Olivia Love writes music as a vehicle for vulnerability and reflections on queer love, loss, and healing.

The Lowest Pair is a duo made up of Kendl Winter and Palmer T. Lee who create incandescent folk songs. On their 8th album, Always As Young As We’ll Ever Be, they showcase stark lyricism, string-driven arrangements, and raw compatibility as mesmerizing, thoughtful purveyors of modern roots music.
