NIGHT ONE:
Jillian Francis
Music is a collaboration. When I am creating music, it’s hard. It pushes me to explore my experience from different perspectives so I can learn what I need to and let go of the rest. It helps me make sense of the growing pains and the gray areas that I am still learning to accept in myself and the world around me. That music allows me to be me. That music is mine. Once a song is done, it is no longer only mine. It becomes a message that you get to experience as uniquely yours. The sounds could trigger a memory of a day by the ocean. The lyrics remind may remind you of lessons learn from a lost love. The message might encourage you to question and create an idea or moment that you never thought possible. We continue to build upon the meaning, stories and feelings of the music. It is no longer mine, but ours. My hope is that the way I express my experiences with vulnerability will help you reflect and find beauty in your own authenticity. Thank you for continuing to create, heal, and grow with me through this journey. Please always feel free to write me about your thoughts and what came up for you when listening to the music. Let’s continue to move forward in love and light together.

NIGHT TWO:
Cody Fayolle
Professional shower singer turned local artist with a mustache. Cody draws inspiration from soul/r&b music to cathartically unravel the ups and downs of his life.
Laura Lamb
“Laura Lamb’s voice was made for live music” - Mspmag.com.
Laura Lamb found her voice at a young age while watching her mother's family gather around a grand piano in Minneapolis, Minnesota singing songs by artists like Carole King, Norah Jones and Etta James. She remembers learning how to harmonize with her grandparents, while developing her smooth & melancholy voice. "It was a strange feeling to sing and bring my parents' friends to tears. It felt really special to be able to make people feel emotional as a young kid." She began writing songs after receiving her first guitar at age 12. Fast-forward to college days when Lamb first discovered Nashville, Tennessee. She was quickly swept under the wings of hit Singer-Songwriter and Monument Recording Artist, Cailyn Smith (Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus, Meghan Trainor) who gracefully mentored the young artist in her songwriting and performance skills. Before she knew it, she was showcasing her new Nashville co-written songs at coffee houses near her college campus in St. Paul, MN. After selling out her first big show in downtown Minneapolis, she made the brave move cross-country to Music City. Today, she has honed her craft while creating with some of Nashville's finest songwriters, debuted her music at the Bluebird Cafe and has played Girls of Nashville - which showcases up and coming singer-songwriters. The independent artist has been preparing her next Album with producer, Misa Arriaga. Her latest single, Bluebird recently won top 10 in the NSAI 21st Annual Song Contest out of 3000 submissions.
