julialogan.com The dreamy folk-pop of Julia Logan exudes a voice at once both comforting and piercing. Accompanied by observant lyrics, bronzed and mellow melodies excellently produced and co-written by Daniel Bengtson soar to hit home the deeper point in songs that honor and long for human connection and respect. It might be their quiet revolt against a world increasingly obsessed with transactional relationships, blow-hard aspirations, and digital ’likes’ rather than a simple ’hello’ on the street.

Lux Lawless Dark, Dreamy, Cinematic When it came to naming her collective project, it could only be something that worked like a charm. So musician Lydia Macintosh conjured Lux Lawless, pairing the Latin for light (“I like to believe it is a protective light around the project,” she explains) with a word to honour her grandmother. “She was a wonderful woman and loved the spaghetti westerns we’d watch together when I was a kid.” The Los Angeles-based group formed during the pandemic out of Secret Hand Studios as a means to grow artistic community at a strange time. Sonically, their bouquet of tones is darker, moody and cinematic, paired with poetic lyricism that’s as clear and intentional as a spell. With lightning speed, McIntosh created multiple singles, EPs and an album with producer Matt McJunkins, guitarist Nick Perez, drummer Jeff Friedl, and mastering engineer Mike Pozzi. An integral part of Lux Lawless’s power is held in the freedom of the live experience, which includes guitarist Randy Andrade, bassist Victor Marquez, and drummer Trey Cornish. As a deeply intuitive person, McIntosh sees her art as a way of transmuting pain into something beautiful outside of herself as centuries of artists have done before, knowingly or unknowingly. This methodology extends to her community, for whom she wishes the same opportunity to express both dark and light experiences and connect with each other while doing so. To her, that is true magic.

Aussie singer-songwriter Ben Grace and Californian poet Karyn Thurston met for the first time weeks after they first said I love you, a blush-worthy whirlwind love story that landed them in a creative partnership writing a torrent of original songs. Story & Tune is the marriage of her words and his melodies (though they’ve been known to switch roles from time to time.)  Story & Tune are a blend of Woody Guthrie’s commitment to a better world with the rise and fall drama of a ballad by The Civil Wars. They’re the story you tell about an evening in Over the Rhine’s barn where too much whiskey leads to a flirty, irreverent guest appearance by Johnny & June. Whether they are sharing unforgettable modern folk originals about ghosts, good boundaries, and hard goodbyes, or leading a bar sing-along of your favorite cover tunes, you won’t leave a Story & Tune show without feeling a little seen, a little celebrated, and a little more hopeful than you did before you came. storyandtune.com  The Arwen Lewis Show Host | Arwen Lewis Executive Producer | Arwen Lewis Executive Producer | Jeremiah D.
