Scott Gilmore and Sarah Vitort are Fox and Bones—energetic offbeat folksters with a retro-tinged, soul-stirring, modern vintage bent. The indomitable duo has brought their optimistic Americana polish to international stages shared with the likes of Rayland Baxter, The Dead South, ZZ Ward, Fantastic Cat and ALO among others.
Fox and Bones’ fourth album titled "Long Time Honey” is a collaboration with esteemed songwriter Greg Holden and was awarded Best Folk/Americana Album of 2024 by the PNW Music Awards. Americana Highways (US) beamed Long Time Honey “should rightly be considered one of the best Americana albums of the year” and Naga Mag (Greece) lauded, "The much-loved vocals are so familiar and warm that you feel the love overflowing inside you"
Their hardworking artistic output has earned them first place at the 2023 Tucson Folk Festival songwriting contest and second place in the International Acoustic Music Awards, amongst other accolades. In between their rigorous tour schedule, the duo founded Portland’s Folk Festival: an annual celebration of folk and Americana music at the iconic Crystal Ballroom in their hometown of Portland, Oregon.
Forest Mountain Lion: Forest writes songs inspired by love for the land where he lives, faith in the power of people, and radical resistance to exploitative industrial systems. He seeks to support local resilience movements that bring people together and spiritually redefine what we are as part of a larger whole. After years playing music in Los Angeles, where he was named an “artist not to miss” by The LA Times, Forest traded a studio full of gadgets for an acoustic guitar and an elk skin drum so he could play music outdoors in the mountains near Eugene. He has a degree in orchestral composition from the University of Oregon and has recorded several albums of original music, available on all streaming platforms.
An intimate but powerful folk rock experience, listeners are immersed in an original musical style. Lyrical stories blend themes of love, longing and friendship with messages of spiritual empowerment and the vision and strength to create a better world.
