TAYLOR RAE
Taylor Rae spent years touring behind Mad Twenties, the career-launching debut album that spent more than 30 weeks on the Americana Radio charts. While the album's lead single, "Home on the Road," climbed into the Top 10, Rae kept the pedal glued to the metal, driving herself from show to show, watching America unfold outside the car windshield. With her second release, The Void, she takes her eyes off the road and turns her attention inward instead. Produced by Grammy winner Eric Krasno, The Void celebrates the contradictory and complementary parts of the human experience, exploring life's dark corners — from breakups to intergenerational trauma — with a colorful mix of roadhouse roots-rock, modern-day folk, alternative music, blues, and analog Americana. These are the most personal and introspective songs of her career, written by a road warrior who remains dedicated to the long haul... but is taking the time to appreciate the journey, too.
SPENCER JAMES
Spencer James hails from Marin County but wound up in Santa Cruz after a debaucherous rendezvous with LA. It was there he met Taylor Rae, and he’s been accompanying her ever since as the longest standing member of her band. But little do people know, he’s a strange and formidable songwriter/composer in his own right. On May 9th he’ll step into the spotlight, take the ride and reveal his vault of creations, live, for the first time. "When a bird sings it doesn't sing for the advancement of music." - Alan Watts
