Mac Cornish:
"Born into the confines of Canyon Country, broken through in the Northwest’s emerging enclave, and currently carving out her own niche in Nashville, Mac Cornish embraces all the parts of her journey as she approaches her songwriting. Growing up surrounded by the Santa Cruz mountains, Cornish spent her youth under the canopy of the Redwoods and exploring the expanses of her grandfather’s cattle ranch in the North Bay. Early years found her drawn to the voices that had emanated from the Laurel Canyon legends, cementing a deep love for Linda Rondstadt, Joan Baez, and Gram Parsons. Though she’s boxed her belongings more than a few times in pursuit of country’s muse, her roots in the California mountains remain a constant part of her songs, tracing the ‘70s maturation of West Coast folk a into a proper patina of Americana. No matter how far she travels, there’s always a hint of the salt air, pine, and North Bay dirt in Mac’s songs, a coastline that she carries with her no matter where she goes.
Decamping to Portland rather than making a straight dash for Music City, Cornish quickly found herself ensconced in the city’s burgeoning country scene. While the Northwest isn’t always identified as a hub for the genre, those attuned to the underground know that there’s a groundswell of new voices taking shape under the cover of overcast skies. In rotation with a slew of other artists balancing day jobs with weekends on stage at the Landmark and the LaurelThirst, Cornish began work on her debut album, Never Made Much of a Lover. The record bundles the confessional approach of her Canyon Country North Stars with a deep well of personal turmoil; digging into death, family, pain, and the mounting pressures of societal expectations. Far from easy odes to late nights and bar lights, Lover positions Cornish as the kind of songwriter looking to stretch the sinews of the soul, wrestling with demons and dark corners, but packed with a catharsis that cleanses the listener.
Jesco Payne & the Painkillers:
"Taking influence from his Appalachian roots, Jesco Payne & the Painkillers sing songs that long for home, mourn lost love and glamorize the occasional rough and rowdy time through cathartic country music that pays homage to the pioneers of honky tonk and outlaw country."
