About Emma:

Emma Rose’s music is a collage of emotional experience: painted through honest and vulnerable lyricism, deep colors, and a voice described to be as rich and as sweet as honey. Rose’s material veers toward indie-pop, in the vein of artists like Feist or even Big Thief — silky, heart-on-your-sleeve folk music with an underground creativity. Rose’s band, Sound of Honey, recorded their debut EP in 2020, and are in the process of making a new record. Emma also regularly lends her talents to a few other projects, having played bass and sung harmony with Lindsay Lou, Daniel Rodriguez, Courtney Hartman, Alwyn Robinson, Taylor Ashton, and more.

About Gina:

Hearing Gina Leslie’s music feels like a long drive at golden hour—intimate, unhurried, and tender. Raised in a folk-loving musical family and now based in New Orleans, she’s become a sought-after collaborator, playing with artists like Bella White, Esther Rose, and her own family band. Her debut EP No, You’re Crying introduced her poignant lyricism and lush textures—now, with a new album on the way, she continues to carve out a sound that’s timeless and deeply felt.

About Anna:

With a voice that is equal parts honey and wildfire, Anna Moss is a multi-instrumentalist songwriter, storyteller, and an overall magnetic musical force. Whether she is fronting the duo Handmade Moments or performing solo, her bold stage presence both playfully gritty and vulnerable, creates a vibe that is fiercely and joyfully unrestrained.
