"In what is the last glorious strike in a hat-trick of precious songstresses today Lia Rose tucks us all in for the night with splendid production and fine writing. Appears she is moonlighting on a solo buzz from her duties with indie types Or, The Whale and Built For The Sea and by the sounds of it the break will do her no harm at all. ‘Sister’ is a classy exercise in restrained pop, you know the kind that could scream, shout and draw attention to itself and perhaps sell a million records but instead play it like it sounded inside. The LP it is taken from ‘When You Need Me Most’ was self-released earlier this month. A flowering talent." -- KD, mp3hugger.com

Kelly McFarling

Homegrown and haunting, Kelly McFarling's voice spirals powerfully, and progressively over a bed of oldtimey instrumentation. Accompanied by clawhammer banjo, upright bass percussion and the occasional pedal steel, her music has been dubbed 'original rhythm and Bluegrass,' - with songwriting that features bold honest lyrics inspired by hard truths and transitions. Originally from Atlanta, GA, she can now be found in the backrooms of San Francisco bars, plucking her banjo and singing siren songs. Her voice channels a sense of longing, nostalgia, and the urge to sit down with your oldest friend, or your newest love. The grass is blue, the moon is shiny. Drink up darlin' its homebrew.

Avi Vinocur (of Goodnight, TX)

Goodnight, Texas is the transcontinental garage appalachian collaboration of San Francisco’s Avi Vinocur (formerly of The Stone Foxes) and North Carolina’s Patrick Dyer Wolf. Previously known as P. Wolf and Avi, both songwriters are old souls in modern bodies: the duo pays as much homage to 19th and early 20th century folk, and blues, as to The Tallest Man on Earth, Ryan Adams, and The Fleet Foxes. Their pre-debut LP Coattails (2010) is a stripped-down and earthen set, in turn raucous and sparse. Since the album’s release, the lads have been touring both coasts and appeared in Austin during 2011’s South By Southwest music festival.
