The Daily Norm is the solo project of Kae Layne, a guitarist from Connecticut, started in 2022. His fingerstyle technique is described as delicate, atmospheric, and thought-provoking. Inspired by the likes of Lindsay Buckingham, Paul McCartney and Bruce Cockburn, he takes what he learns and adds it to his style. His hope is that through his playing and his music, he can reach and connect with others.

Leonhardt is originally from Wyoming: a landscape that frequently haunts his songs. Somewhat of a folk traditionalist, his shows are a blend of old tunes and originals, stories intertwined with songs. By looking more closely at the ordinary — labor, love, and religion — his songs highlight the tragedy and the humor in it all. +++++++ The Cottonwood Shivers is a music project founded in 2023 by English American songwriter Will Adlard. While backpacking across the US in 2011, Will fell in love with the girl he would one day marry. They eventually settled in Saint Paul, MN, where Will calls home. The Cottonwood Shivers combines Will’s influences of blues and folk with a healthy dose of emotional sensitivity. The project’s first single, “Ice Cream”, was released in 2023.”
