Named after John Lennon, it's no surprise that Lennon developed a love for music at an early age. Growing up in a large, musical family, Lennon wasn't always confident in his singing abilities. His high-pitched voice was different, so he didn't take singing seriously until a college friend helped him find his confidence. While living in Idaho after dropping out of college, Lennon reconnected with a childhood friend, Morgan. They got married and started a new chapter of their lives together in Phoenix. After moving, Lennon worked countless odd jobs to pay the bills before landing a job at a memory care facility with dementia patients. Today, Lennon is proud to be a full-time gigging musician. He is booked through multiple companies and performs four to five times a week while also regularly singing at retirement homes.
Alexa grew up in a musical family, and her dad's passion for collecting vintage guitars inspired Alexa's love for acoustic stringed instruments, which led to her playing guitar and octave mandolin. Alexa's deep love for the Americana music scene came when she saw the Wailin' Jennys perform at a festival when she was 17. Life came full circle when a member of that band sang harmonies on Alexa's debut EP in 2018. A few years later, Alexa began couch surfing and really wanted to experience life in a mobile home/touring vehicle. A friend offered her his loaded-out van, and Alexa spent the following months living out of it and traveling wherever her next gig would take her. She now lives in Colorado after the cold winter months had her saying goodbye to van life. She writes, gigs and teaches voice lessons.

Hello everyone!
I know when my heart feels heavy, music is the healing balm I need. Over the last few months, I have really allowed myself to delve into the magic that music can offer.
I am very excited to play my next live stream concert on Facebook August 7th, 7 PM Central, with my very talented friend and Bassist, Ethan Jodziewicz!
Ethan played Double Bass on my last EP, and he is one of the finest bassists and musicians I know. He toured for years as a duo with child prodigy mandolinist Sierra Hull, backing up the Milk Carton Kids and most recently went on tour with Aoife O’Donovan before Covid hit. He is also a dear dear friend of mine, and I am so excited to share this evening with him.
If you tuned in for my last livestream, my friend and housemate Wilson Harwood did an amazing job running the sound as I streamed live solo on Swallow Hill’s Facebook. Please tune into my facebook page to see this concert. More information will follow soon, there are some cool things in the works, and I will keep you posted!
In honor of Rocky Mountain Folks Festival, which would have been happening at this time, and I would have had a full band playing my tunes, I will bring my concert to you! I am so sad the concert isn’t happening live in Lyon’s but I am hoping this will give you something to look forward to!
I am stepping up all aspects of this live stream with great sound by Wilson in his brand new studio, video by Kaitlyn Raitz and Ethan playing bass along with me, so please join!
Tips and donations are greatly appreciated and welcome for this show to help keep music alive and thriving! My intention is to make this feel like a real show as best as I can, without making it a ticketed event. I hope you join!
And yes, we will all be socially distanced and safe in the making of this music together <3
I wish I could hug you all right now. But while I can't, I will do my best to bring music into your lives!
Sending all of my love! More details soon!
(the concert will be live 5 PM Pacific, 6 PM Mountain, 7 PM Central and 8 PM Eastern <3)

Billy Shaddox
Billy Shaddox is blessed with the ability to blend the western dualities of coastal dreamer and high mountain drifter into his deep, easy flowing songs. This is modern American folk music with pop sensibilities. Rooted in stories of love and fortune lost, perspective and enlightenment gained, Shaddox captures the mystique of the West with indelible lyrical imagery and sharply original musicality: the displaced modern man weary of coping with vanishing ideals, the present-minded realist, the uncontrollable jealousy of the downtrodden miner, and the bright-eyed morning traveler setting out to make his mark on the world.

David Burchfield (of David Burchfield & the Fire Guild)
David Burchfield writes American folk music that’s not content to stay within traditional genre boundaries. Taking cues from Josh Ritter and Joe Pug, Burchfield’s literate lyrics meet emotive grace in nods to Gillian Welch, Mandolin Orange, and David Ramirez. There is a powerful candor in Burchfield’s writing – raw, emotive, and rich with details that bring the listener right into the scene of his passion. Whether it be tragedy found or narrowly escaped, Burchfield’s writing sounds like the joy of a man who knows how close the dark can creep to the light’s edge. Inspired as much by his native Kansas plains and his current home in the Colorado mountains, the landscapes of his nostalgia are ever present themes in Burchfield’s songwriting.
Over years of performing, Burchfield has played the Middle of the Map Fest, Boulevardia, was featured in the Chevy Music Showcase, and has shared bills with Noah Gundersen, David Ramirez, Joe Pug, the Way Down Wanderers, and Beth Bombara.
Solo, Burchfield performs with a surprising ferocity and emotional delivery that has silenced even the rowdiest of rooms. Critics have called his 5-piece band, David Burchfield & the Fire Guild, akin to “the Band meets the Stray Birds” – equal parts all out rock n roll party and sensitively arranged balladry. Strands of mountain fiddle music and Texas country work their way into this seamless tapestry as well. What is this? Americana through and through – from the mountain campfire to the lights onstage across the country, Burchfield is drawing together his influences into a unique sound with something to say, and he’s singing loud enough to hear.

Alexa Wildish
Alexa grew up in Southern California where she spent her childhood singing to the rolling hills and discovering her love for folk music. These traditions have followed her and shaped her musical career where in Portland, Oregon, she was the founder and lead singer/songwriter of a progressive folk band, Wildish. Alexa currently resides in Boulder, Colorado and spends her days, again, singing to the mountains and the creeks through which she gains endless inspiration.

Courtney Hartman:
The debut album from singer/songwriter Courtney Hartman, Ready Reckoner opens with the
understated yet undeniable glory of “Hollow,” a track whose title traces back to her recent
fascination with the concept of resonance. “The definition is perfect: ‘a resounding from the sides
of a hollow instrument of music; a sound returned,’” says Hartman, who wrote “Hollow” while
walking the Camino de Santiago, a 500-mile pilgrimage route across Spain. “This whole record
comes from a hollowing-out within myself—from being quiet and learning to listen again, allowing
space fora resonance.”
Born from purposeful self-examination, Ready Reckoner finds Hartman taking the helm as producer
transforming her most private ruminations into songs both bracingly intimate and magnificently
vast. In that process, the Loveland, Colorado-based artist worked in collaboration with co-producer
Shahzad Ismaily (a composer and multi-instrumentalist known for his work with Lou Reed and Tom
Waits) and assembled a close-knit community of musicians, including a number of her friends as
well as renowned guitarist Bill Frisell. Recorded mainly at Figure8 in Brooklyn and mixed by Tucker
Martine (Neko Case, My Morning Jacket), Ready Reckoner unfolds in extraordinarily detailed textures,
a nuanced yet wholly unpredictable sound equally given to moments of hushed simplicity,
improvisatory freedom, and flashes of symphonic splendor.
