Babes in Canyon (Album Release!), Silvertongue, Shy Honey – 21+
Babes In Canyon Bio: Eloquently blending synth-folk, moody pop, and soaring vocal harmonies, Babes In Canyon crafts music that is eminently engaging and very much of the moment. Born of a spontaneous writing session during a winter storm, the band wandered naturally into the land of heavy beats, lyrics with an element of storytelling, and synth-folk instrumentation with a twist. With a spate of tours, festivals, and live performances under their belt, songwriters Nathan and Sophia Hamer conjure up layered soundscapes, “looping keys, beats, percussion effortlessly in an electric, raucous live performance” (Atwood Magazine).With their first two EPs and latest single receiving praise from the likes of Under The Radar, Magnet, and Atwood Magazine, Babes In Canyon’s debut album “The New Loud” is set to release in 2025. Genre-defying, expertly arranged, and profoundly catchy, Babes In Canyon stands ready to soundtrack your adventures – spontaneous or otherwise. Silvertongue Bio: Originally formed in Massachusetts by frontman Andrew Stevens and guitarist Jake Hogan, Silvertongue made the move to Portland, Oregon, where they met keyboardist Mel Boell and drummer Joe-Henry McQuary. Known for their high-energy, dynamic performances and infectious charisma, Silvertongue has earned a devoted following in the Pacific Northwest music scene and beyond. With a sound that began with folk influences, the band has since expanded to incorporate elements of pop and dance, creating a diverse catalog of adventurous, “Garden Indie” songs that blend the organic with the electrifying. Silvertongue performs across the country, playing shows and festivals coast to coast. They’ve shared the stage with artists such as Almost Monday, Krooked Kings, and Wild Party, continuing to grow their national presence with every performance. Shy Honey Bio: Shy Honey is an up and coming electro pop band out of Portland, OR formed in 2019 by lead singer and local Portland singer-songwriter, Anna Gilbert. Shy Honey’s music features epic, reverberant guitars and moody keys with a “prom night” desperation. The music is upbeat, dark and dance worthy with a subtle nod to the sounds that defined music of the 80s and 90s. Gilbert’s honey-dripped vocals float over synthy pop keys and catchy guitar riffs. Both modern and retro, catchy and experimental, Shy Honey is putting a spin on electro pop in a fresh way, garnering the attention of their hometown music community.
