Evie is a singer-songwriter whose music blends the heart of the Midwest with the free spirit of the West Coast. Born in St. Louis, MO, and later moving part-time to Los Angeles, Evie developed her unique "coastal cowgirl" sound—an honest mix of heartfelt storytelling and bold, captivating melodies. Her music reflects the journey of a woman shaped by two worlds: the grounded, soulful energy of the Midwest and the laid-back, adventurous vibe of the West Coast. With each song, Evie shares her personal experiences, capturing emotions that resonate deeply with listeners.

Tony Brown, a Grammy Award-winning producer, praised Evie’s songwriting abilities, saying, "Evie is that one artist/writer who can stand amongst today's 'elitists' group of aspiring 'deep' songwriters with songs that are so well-crafted, however, reached the level of not only prolific but very commercial, hit-sounding, yet oozing with integrity!"

With over 1 million followers across social media, Evie’s magnetic presence continues to grow, whether she’s performing at venues like The Bluebird Cafe or crafting new songs in the studio. Her authenticity and passion keep driving her forward, making her one of the most exciting artists to watch.

Dan Harrison is a singer-songwriter based in Nashville, Tennessee.

After graduating, he made his way to Nashville.

He has earned cuts with artists like Adair's Run, Todd Cameron, Belles, Clayton Shay, Carson Beyer, Don Louis and more. He was also awarded the 2021 ASCAP Jay Gorney Award and the 2022 Bluebird Golden Pick for his song, “Friendly Fire”, which highlights the mental health issues facing our military veterans. He is also the recipient of the 2023 ASCAP Harold Adamson Lyric Award - Country Division, and a member of the ASCAP GPS Class of 2023.
