Under his moniker Orillia, Andrew Marczak follows the long tradition of country music’s more progressive stewards, commanding audiences with his unique bracing tenor and skeletal arrangements. His debut self-titled record, which was tracked completely live, acoustic, and straight to tape at Jamdek Recording Studios in his hometown of Chicago, marries the quotidian poetry of Sam Shepard with the direct, otherworldly twang of Sparklehorse. With his various projects, including the now-defunct Roof Dogs (Earth Libraries), Andrew has shared stages with artists like shame, dehd, Richard Lloyd (of Television), Lavender Country, Country Westerns, Tobacco City, Vundabar, Elizabeth Moen, hemlock, and comedian Fred Armisen. His song "No One" was featured on the soundtrack of the film Poser, which premiered at Tribeca Film Festival in 2021.

Lydia Cash grew up in Birmingham, Alabama. She moved to Chicago on a whim in 2013, and her love for the city has since become a wellspring of inspiration for her music. Listening to Lydia Cash’s newest EP, “Blush,” feels almost like reading a secret– the five songs are beacons of authenticity where she reveals the innermost workings of her heart’s loves and losses. Each song is a unique confessional, a portrait of a moment in time, poured out of her like the best bottle of wine on a back porch. Heartache, new romance, and introspection are all common themes that are held together with threads of vulnerable moments– a shared cigarette, a head on a shoulder. Her delicate melodies, enrapturing voice, and a pedal steel twang showcase this native Alabamian/Chicago transplant’s dichotomy of grit and sweetness.
