She sings songs that will make you think and feel and laugh and cry; that will make you feel a little less alone. After releasing her debut 5-song EP called ‘everything is light work’ in May 2021, Blair Borax is releasing her first full length album “Keep Walking” with the support of 129 Kickstarter backers! “Keep Walking” will take you on an emotional journey through heartbreak, fear, grief, anger, sadness, and eventually, a sliver of hope. This album is her most vulnerable, honest, personal, and powerful yet. “Keep Walking” is about moving forward through difficult times and it will help you keep walking too. “With rich lyrics and a voice like molasses, Blair Borax makes music that moves you to the heart of being human, offers you a warm cup of tea, and invites you to stay a while.” - Juniper Klatt www.blairborax.com www.instagram.com/blairartthou ~~~ Glitterfox is the indie folk project of married couple Solange Igoa and Andrea Walker with the more recent addition of their best friend, Eric Stalker, on bass. Born in 2012 in the backyard house party scene of Long Beach, CA, Glitterfox first found an audience with their rough-around-the-edges Americana dubbed “sheer acoustic awesomeness” in the Long Beach Post. With some local success and a hunger for life on the highway the couple next moved into a van and spent two years living on the road, gigging night after night up and down the west coast. In 2018 Glitterfox settled down in Portland, OR to begin work on their debut album Fringe which features fan favorites “Honey” and “Kentucky Night.” Glitterfox's newest release, Night, is a 5 song EP engineered and co-produced by David Jacobs-Strain. Night leans into 80s influences and features more ambitious production, illuminating the bright edges in the couple's simple, ragged storyline of a tender love on the road.
