Hannah Miller

Hannah Miller currently lives in Nashville where she writes dark and soothing music that, in the words of one perceptive listener “gives you half a feeling of happiness and half of loneliness”. Her dark, ambient style has been heard on shows such as This Is Us, Virgin River, Station 19, Sons of Anarchy, The Following, Nancy Drew, and Pretty Little Liars as well as in several indie films and national advertising campaigns for companies like Pitney Bowes and DSW. She has toured with the folk duo The Secret Sisters, and she continues to write and release beautiful music.

Alexa Wildish

Alexa grew up in a musical family in the horse country of Southern California, where her father collected vintage guitars. She began studying classical voice when she was seven, and she attended the Orange County School of the Arts and Elon University, where she delved into musical theater.

At age 17, however, an entirely different musical spark was ignited when she saw The Wailin’ Jennys open for Nickel Creek, and she took the hard-left turn from musical theater to Americana. She had been on her way to Broadway, but the lure of performing original material was strong.

As she says about her change of focus: “Musical theater’s be-honest-and-tell-the-truth training taught me how to tell other people’s stories as if they were my own. But because they weren’t my own, there was no real passion.” Nowadays, Alexa’s live performances of her original songs signal the advent of a major new voice in folk, with passion to spare.
