Hallie Spoor

Brooklyn-based indie-folk singer-songwriter Hallie Spoor’s compelling vocals and emotional storytelling have earned her the nickname “The Adele of Americana" (bolderbeat). "If you’re a fan of confessional lyrics and a strong, powerful voice,” writes 303 Magazine, “Spoor is your girl." Reminiscent of 1970s icons like Laura Nyro and Joni Mitchell, Hallie’s music contains her own unique mix of “empathy and frankness,” (Radio Free Brooklyn) a warmth infused with the Western grit that comes from a Colorado childhood. She attributes the warmth to her grandfather, a jazz pianist who played “Penthouse Serenade” and “Maple Leaf Rag” by ear while she sat next to him on the piano bench, feet dangling, watching his hands dance across the keyboard. His music was “the soundtrack of our house, of every holiday, of our lives. Papa’s music brought the whole family together.” That desire to create community through music fuels Hallie today, and audiences respond: “She invites the listener into the world through her eyes, and her music brings a lightness and accessibility to moments that probably affect every listener …” (Radio Free Brooklyn). Hallie has three studio albums; her 2020 EP “New Ground,” has been streamed more than 90,000 times on Spotify, and Spoor released her newest album, “Heart Like Thunder,” October 2023.

Rachel Bearinger

Rachel Bearinger is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Her music draws from her roots - time spent recording piano improvisations and singing stories into a Sony tape recorder while growing up in rural Iowa. Blending elements of contemporary folk, classical, and jazz, her music has drawn comparisons to that of Nick Drake, Regina Spektor, Brandi Carlile, and Jose Gonzales.
