Claire Holley grew up listening to her Dad's records and soaking up her grandmother's jazz piano playing as a little girl in Mississippi. She began writing songs in college, and thanks to a helpful producer stumbled into a career of music. You might know her as half of the popular duo, Powdercoat. Her music has been featured on NPR's Weekend Edition. Acoustic Guitar Magazine wrote, “Claire Holley is an observer, a romantic reporter from the backyards and front porches of the heartland.”
Tim McNary found his passion for songwriting while backpacking throughout South America after college. Like many drifters, he flirted with music since first picking up a guitar at age 12. The son of a Pentecostal minister, his upbringing had him believing the devil surged through him when he played the instrument. His influences include Ben Howard, Foy Vance, and Leif Vollebekk. With a very cinematic approach to his craft, the indie-folk artist has had many film and television placements with his songs.
