Growing up in Portland, Oregon, Nora Meier was drawn to music at an early age.

Inspired by the artists she discovered in her parents’ expansive vinyl collection, it wasn’t long before she was pestering her parents to sign her up for piano lessons.At 12 years old she fell in love with songwriting, and in 2014 a recording of her first original song Remember was uploaded to YouTube and shared by the Huffington Post.

Encouraged by her mentor Moorea Masa to pursue her love of music, Nora began seriously honing her skills as an artist throughout her teenage years.

In 2017 she wrote and produced her first single, Icicles, followed by a five-track EP, With Time.

In their review of the EP, Divide and Conquer writes that Meier has “a magical combination of the deep rich tone of Fiona Apple and the jazzy melodic playfulness of Melody Gardot.” Her most recent single, Harvest Song, was released in May of 2022, and is now available on all streaming platforms.

These projects would not have been possible without the support of artists such as Moorea Masa, Steve Swatkins, Margaret Wehr, Josh Powell and many more.

She is currently studying at The Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts.

Meier has proven an ability to connect to the heart of the individual while uniting us through the emotions that make us human.

Jess Kerber is a 20 year-old singer/songwriter from the Greater New Orleans area, taking influences from the 60s/70s era of folk.

With both parents being musicians, from an early age she was exposed to artists such as Joni Mitchell, The Allman Brothers, and Bill Evans.

From self-releasing her debut EP, entitled Falling Forward (shortly after her high school graduation), to being chosen as one of the top ten songwriters to participate in the first Trimble House Songwriting Series in Nashville less than a year later, Jess is putting in as much work and time as possible to be able to continue to form her craft.

Jess currently lives in Boston, MA, where she attends Berklee College of Music as the 2018 Lollapalooza full-tuition scholarship recipient; she is currently studying songwriting and music production and engineering.

In her music, Jess is consistently striving to write what feels true and to continue to grow upward and on.

But mostly, she is working towards exploring all corners of the planet while hopefully, making a change for the better with her words.

And also making granola.

Jess is currently working on recording her 2nd album.

In February of 2020, Jess joined established New England singer/songwriter Will Orchard and band, playing guitar and singing background vocals.
