Vonnie Kyle is a singer-songwriter based in Portland, Oregon. Her music has been described as “A masterful blend of indie rock and folk-tinged storytelling.”1 Kyle’s songs are upbeat, poignant, and exude a 90s pop-rock sensibility. In the studio and on stage, Kyle is an energetic and fearless performer. Since 2013, Kyle has released four EPs, but in 2022 she released her first full-length album, Imperfect Parts. Its traditional rock band lineup is complemented by lush strings, punchy horns, and intricate vocal harmonies. Thematically, Imperfect Parts explores existential loneliness, longing, and loss, but it’s ultimately a story of self-acceptance. 

The earliest incarnation of Fawkes Glove was created in 2019 as a side project inspired by the raw delta blues and garage rock sounds of bands like The Strokes, The Black Keys, and the White Stripes. Finding the right members and fighting through a global pandemic put a halt on the project for some time. At the very end of 2022, after the final line up had been set in stone and their sound forged in the fires of the Portland live music scene, Fawkes Glove descended into the basement of a friend’s house to record How it Feels. A 7 track EP that finally captured exactly what the band had envisioned for their sound. Now, armed with the debut EP, Fawkes Glove has set out to conquer the local music scene and make their way steadily outward into the ears of anyone who appreciates music with a little grit and a lot of heart.
