Matt Hires has been making music for about 12 years now. He has put out 4 full length records and 6 EPs, on record labels and independently. Over the last decade, he has toured extensively and has also had many songs on film and TV shows, including four songs on Grey's Anatomy. Matt Considers his latest release, American Wilderness, his best record to date, as it showcases the maturity of his songwriting and features themes of wrestling with identity and faith in American society.
Jaspar Lepak is a folk/Americana songwriter whose remarkable gift for melody is only surpassed by her poetry. After twelve years living away from the Twin Cities (in both Seattle, WA and Durban, South Africa), she recently moved back to Minneapolis, the city where she began her songwriting career almost twenty years ago. She will perform as a duo with Ben Cook-Feltz on piano and harmonies.
Deeply influenced by the many places she has called home, Lepak mixes folk and bluegrass sounds with unpretentious honesty. Often drawing comparisons to folk and country greats Emmylou Harris and Kate Wolf, she sweeps across landscapes with an emotional depth that is extraordinary while her clear, pure voice touches the heart.
“Jaspar Lepak is the real deal when it comes to songwriting and guitar work, and as a vocalist she has few—if any—peers. She is a songwriter's dream.” ~ Christine Lavin
In 2021, Lepak released an abundance of new music including the folk charting album Desert Ghosts and two singles “One Brave Life” and “My Right To Choose.”
