Jessica Lea Mayfield is a singer-songwriter hailing from rural Ohio. She’s been active as a solo artist since she was 15 and grew up living on a bus and traveling to bluegrass festivals with her family’s band. She writes ominous Appalachian folk rock that explores themes of love, relationships, and human dynamics. Her fourth studio album, produced by Day Wave, is set to be released at the end of this year. She will soon be announcing East and West Coast fall and winter tour dates.

Margaux, a Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter, blends poetic storytelling with a rich musicality shaped by her diverse influences and background. Born in Seattle to a French father and an American mother, she moved to New York to study jazz and later earned a degree in poetry and non-fiction at the New School. Her debut EP, More Brilliant is the Hand that Throws the Coin (2019), earned critical acclaim, with Pitchfork praising its "uncannily wise and self-assured" songwriting. Margaux’s poetic lyricism and versatility have made her a sought-after collaborator, touring and recording with indie acts like Katy Kirby and Dougie Poole.

Her debut full-length album, Inside the Marble, showcases a deeply introspective yet ambitious approach to songwriting. Exploring themes of heartbreak, growth, and emotional chaos, the album features intricate arrangements, including orchestral flourishes and experimental textures. Margaux and producer Sahil Ansari spent nearly five years crafting the record, drawing on everything from birdsong recorded in rural France to innovative percussive techniques. The result is an intimate yet sweeping work that captures both the fragility and grandeur of human emotion.
