The Big Net is led by songwriter Kevin Copeland on guitar and vocals, with Andrew Emge on the drums, and Logan Miley on bass and as the band's recording engineer. They are a folk-rock power trio based somewhere in the Northeastern United States, and their sound is not unlike the sweet howling of a dog in a moving car.

Born in Houston, Texas, Katy Rea's mother sang Linda Ronstadt around the house, and her father, a writer, played Leonard Cohen and Dylan. He would say, “You only need a few chords and the truth to write a good song.” Her debut album, The Urge That Saves You (2022) is a hook-filled, fully live record that provides plenty of stories to cling to while splitting off into cinematic, dark psychedelia. Craving creative independence, Katy learned the art of recording and mixing and is now an engineer at Bushwick’s Black Lodge Recording. Her production co. is called Dying is Done. 

She is in the depths of creating her second album of originals and recording friends' projects. She regularly plays live with her band of jazz musicians and  dear friends: Ethan Kogan, Andrew Forman, and Ian Kenselaar.

Put on Lamplight, the self-titled debut from singer-songwriter Ian Hatcher-Williams, and you’ll notice a few things. A brushed and skittering 6/8 rhythm. Softly distorted guitar. The languid drawl of a pedal steel as it flirts with demure strings. It’s a room you recognize but can’t quite place. The furnishings are comfortable. 2024 brings the debut of newcomer, Appalachian country-mouse-gone-city-and-back-again, Ian Hatcher-Williams, AKA Lamplight. After a warp-speed five years in New York City trying on the vestments of cumbersome enterprise and often sacrificing personal life, health and identity along the way, Ian returned home to the rolling mountain peaks of southwestern Virginia to undress, stretch out, reconsider. The result is the cathartic return to self, a nine-song earth-caked internal excavation, releasing Spring 2024 on Western Vinyl.
