Hilary Tipps and Steve Obermiller, a dynamic musical duo, have captivated audiences with their heartfelt songwriting and emotive performances. Their latest release, "MacGuffin" (2024), showcases a collection of songs co-written by the pair, following the success of their debut album, "Love (and Other Mysteries)" (2023). Tight vocal and guitar harmonies, folksy wisdom and unabashed emotional vocabulary combine with craft and charisma to create this unexpectedly magnetic experience.

Their journey as artists has been deeply intertwined with their personal lives; the couple met and married in 2012, navigating the challenges of caring for sick parents, raising teenagers, and pursuing graduate studies and career changes over the next several years. In 2022, they made the decision to fully commit to songwriting and performing, marking a new chapter in their journey. After taking a break from releasing records to further refine their craft, Tipps and Obermiller are currently in preproduction for their third album.

Singer-songwriter and producer Jana Pochop (Jan-a Po-cop) is a wanderer with a penchant for folk-pop songs and universe pondering, particularly when it comes to art and the places it’s created.

Jana’s music, in large part, has been influenced by the culturally rich cities of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Austin, Texas. The influence of the expansive American West is revealed with just a cursory listen to her work, from her initial release The Early Year in 2008 to the 2022 critically acclaimed The Astronaut. Listening to her songs with intent is akin to standing in the early morning desert, surrounded by a sonic landscape that enchants with both its scope and depth, slowly revealing and changing itself as the light of day passes into night.

Themes of time, space, and place that were born through years of touring nationally are woven into arrangements of music and lyrics that surround the listener with a succession of remembered and anticipated events. Whether it’s the distance between people and locations (“12-Hours By Car”), or feelings that overwhelm with doubt (“My Deepest Fear”) and desire (“Solar System”), Jana’s work is a testament to how people are forever changed by both the enjoyment and production of art.
