Recent pre-pandemic years have included shows in Austin, Los Angeles, Portland, and Seattle. Radio features, year end best-of-lists, and a growing number of co-writes and collaborators continue to share Timothy’s songs with a wider audience. “The second solo album from this Seattle-based artist (and Motopony member) is a well-crafted set of brightly colored power pop, New Wave, and psych-pop.” -Don Yates, Music Director KEXP 90.3InstagramSpotifyFacebookYouTubeZach KleisingerBased in Vancouver, Canada, Zach Kleisinger writes lyrically-driven songs in the contemporary, darkened-folk, singer-songwriter style. His words often feel like a bathroom mirror, while his compositions tend to conjure an emotion akin to the heartbreakers on Dylan’s Blood on the Tracks. The strength in Kleisinger’s songwriting is often described as a simple yet poetic intimacy, one that illustrates profound messages by magnifying the little things. Since releasing his EP, I Hope It’s Calm, Then, in 2018, Kleisinger has established himself within the alt-folk music community, performing hundreds of concerts across Canada, the UK, and Europe. His live performances have gathered him a loyal audience, where the comfort of his warm baritone voice and magnetic songs are often juxtaposed, oddly and satisfyingly, by dry, unrehearsed humour. Kleisinger’s latest record Their Symposium, was released in August 2021 via DevilDuck Records to widespread acclaim. Since its release, Their Symposium has charted on college radio across the US and Canada, received generous airplay on Canada’s nationally syndicated radio network CBC, and earned numerous publications in magazines such as Canadian Musician, Americana UK, Atwood, and American Pancake. In the deep sea of indie-folk songwriters, Zach Kleisinger is a true storyteller and entertainer, a narrator of raw emotions and real tales; ones that will draw you into an intimate, familiar world. InstagramSpotifyFacebookYouTubeShoecraftShoecraft is an ambient folk/rock band from Everett, WA. Originally brought together in 2013, they have spent the better part of 9 years writing, recording and performing in primarily the Pacific Northwest. 

2016 welcomed their inaugural album, The Whisper II - a collection of DIY musings inspired by Sufjan Stevens, Kings of Convenience and Dry the River. “Cheeks” was placed in the BBC’s Sport Relief coverage in 2018, and accumulated international traction via thousands of playlists both personal and curated. 

 2021 brought their most recent record, The Great Regulator (Antifragile Music, NYC), which evidenced a more sonically mature Shoecraft - balancing DIY sentimentalities with rhythmic, ambient-rock studio jams. Their present line-up includes: Jacob Baughman, Rachel Casel, Brandon Mackie, Anthony Baker and Trevor Church. InstagramSpotifyFacebookYouTube
