Claire Conway(Seattle)

(Album Release)

Blending heartfelt, confessional lyrics with intimate instrumentation, Claire Conway is a songwriter and storyteller with an ear for authenticity. Raised on country radio in Charleston, South Carolina, Claire began writing music at ten years old, played her first gig at thirteen, and released her first EP while still in high school. Now residing in the Pacific Northwest, she’s shared local stages with contemporary folk touring artists Lowland Hum, Matthew Fowler, and The Head and the Heart’s Josiah Johnson.

From her 2019 EP "Missing" to 2021's "Be Good," Claire's early songwriting exhibits a clear-eyed intimacy and a wise-beyond-her-years level of poise and introspection, drawing listeners in with hushed guitar melodies, warm vocals, and compelling lyrical meditations on the birth and death of love, growing up, and self-discovery.

After years of writing, recording, and performing throughout the PNW and internationally, Claire is set to release her debut album in November 2026, produced by Lacey Brown and Damien Jurado in Seattle, WA.

Essie Hum

(EP Release)

Of Portland, OR - Essie Humberston’s storytelling and chants anchor an ethereal, shoegazey dreamscape.

Arran Fagan - Praised for his introspective lyrics and vivid storytelling, Portland-based folk artist Arran Fagan has garnered a following in his native Oregon with his uncanny ability to weave the personal and universal. After getting his start in the grassroots music scene of Southern Oregon, Arran has spent the greater part of his life pursuing music, creating wistful and evocative songs that explore themes that connect us all—loss, addiction, change, and the endless passage of time.

Austin B. Sweeney

Austin B. Sweeny's sound combines the organic acoustic sounds of Mumford & Sons, Sturgill Simpson, and Van Morrison with the electric West Coast sounds that harken back to the Eagles, Pearl Jam, and Jackson Browne. His songwriting is self-referential and extremely personal, yet universal. It touches on themes of growth, freedom, anxiety, addiction, spirituality, and the pure joy of an open highway.

Produce Row café has been the Central Eastside's food and drink hub for almost 60 years. This casual yet sophisticated gastropub features an award-winning, year-round, heated patio, 24 rotating taps, craft cocktails, and elevated comfort food.
