Leon Majcen

If the Americana Music association made a Pixar movie, the lead character could very well be based on our guest. Leon Majcen has the personality of a leading man that we're all rooting for. Tall, smirking, and handsome, Leon is an eye-twinkling, excited ball of musical energy. He is the type of songwriter that isn't trying to impress you or convince you he's good at what he does. He lets his songs do the that for him, and leaves his actual talking for connecting with you as a person. He has a devil may care way about him, which is both enviable and disarming. In groups, Leon is a life of the party kind of guy, but one-on-one, he's more reserved. You can still sense his anticipation for his next show or fishing trip vibrating under the surface, but he's more more at peace. Here is the guy that calls you out of the blue just to let you know he was thinking about you. Just checking in. It's that thoughtful inner lining that comes out in his songwriting. Pair that with his picking chops, and you've got a recipe for star to continue rising on the Americana and Country charts. His first album, Back Til I'm Gone, is a study of homesickness and growing up that got the attention of the industry and landed him in festival line-ups... and The releases he has coming next, including the single you're hearing right now, are a fantastic evolution of his artistry. We can't wait to hear them, and we think you'll feel the same way, after you get to know our dear friend, Leon Majcen.

Adam Randall

If you sat next to Adam Randall at a coffee shop, you might observe a quiet but not standoffish guy, with the look of a friendly, unpretentious, nirvana fan with post graduate degrees. If you struck up a conversation, he probably wouldn’t self promote, or tell you he’s an artist, a prolific one, with 8 studio albums and EP’s. You might however, suspect it, and quickly recognize something special about him; Someone who stays with you long after the interaction, like a great indie-film. Someone who’s choices and experiences have distilled a calming presence, and settled him into whatever the opposite of a midlife crisis is.

The progeny of these characteristics is a songwriting ability that is so, well, Adam-- unique and so good. He's never stopped refining his perspective and style, and if you’ve been hip to Adam Randall for the decades he’s been at it, you know just how good that style's always been. And he's only getting better. The years haven't worn him out; they've polish him. He's only more resolute. More Refined... And his latest release, Antelope, is a perfect example of the indie-rock monk I’m describing. It's a beautiful, melodic, set of songs, unconventionally poetic and illustrative, but with enough room for the listener to inhabit the songs, and find their own personal meaning.

We’re loving this latest addition to his body of work, and we know you will too––Especially after you get to know him with us.

Let's dive in, with Adam Randall.
