TAYLOR ASHTON — Jan. 5

A Vancouver native who now lives in Brooklyn, Taylor alternately accompanies himself on clawhammer banjo and electric guitar, crooning poignantly clever lyrical insights. His music takes influence from the emotionality of Joni Mitchell, the vulnerability of Bill Withers, the humor and heartbreak of Randy Newman, and old-time and Celtic folk music.

MARIELLE KRAFT — Feb. 2

The indie pop singer-songwriter based in Nashville displays craftsmanship beyond her years, following suit to artists like Shawn Mendes, Maisie Peters and Taylor Swift. Her gift for storytelling is evident through her use of salient detail, raw emotion and poignant word choice describing moments "exactly as they feel."

SHANE GUERRETTE — March 2

It's the old way of doing things that inspires a new sound for upstate New York-based artist, Shane Guerrette. Drawing influence from classic soul and roots rock genres, Shane has only just begun to craft his own retro-flavored sound reminiscent of the past while still finding a way to make it feel new again.

ASHLEY RAY — April 6

One of Nashville's most nuanced voices, creating a modern sound without chasing after modern trends as a solo artist, and an in-demand songwriter for Little Big Town, Lori McKenna, Lady A's Charles Kelley and others.

ZACH PERSON — May 4

The new face of indie rock out of Austin, Texas, Person plays loud, raw and connects with his music fans on a primal sonic level. Person has a swagger, talent and grit beyond his years, with the poise of a seasoned veteran onstage and the stylings of a mega star.
