SARA JEAN STEVENS - No matter how much time passes, it always seems to catch up with you. For Sara Jean Stevens, those fleeting moments became a rich source of inspiration for her sophomore EP, Lovesick. The four layered tracks bring hints of country, folk, road. The Chicago-based artist – who grew up on a horse farm in the flatlands of Illinois and began taking classical voice and piano lessons as a child before picking up the guitar at 18 – had a lucrative career touring the world as part of top-line ensembles before choosing to find her own place in music. Her solo material has been hailed as a mix of Emmylou Harris and Mazzy Star and described as music for the loners, the hopeless romantics and the dreamers. In the past couple of years, her sound has caught the attention of acclaimed roots, rock, country and folk artists like John Hiatt, Rhett Miller (Old 97s), The Wood Brothers, Nora O’Connor and Whitehorse who have called on Stevens to open for them.
CARY HUDSON hails from the Piney Woods area of the Magnolia State. The singer-songwriter-guitarist-pianist has always come out swinging with a gritty mix of country, folk, blues, and rock and roll, all channeled through Hudson’s singular voice, whether singing, wailing on six strings, pounding keys, or blowing harp. Named among the top ten guitarists of Alternative Country by Gibson Guitars, Cary’s sound is a potent stew of greasy grooves, plaintive melodies, thoughtful lyrics, and fiery guitar solos.
