Seattle-based singer-songwriter Mia Day recently returned with new single “Big Prize”, an indie folk track that is about “starting over and having a second coming-of-age .” There’s a reflective big sweeping folk-led alt rock sound that has traces of artists such as Phoebe Bridgers in its melancholic emotional place and 90s style of production. There’s an authentic bit of reflection that has a bit of an uplifting happy-sad quality that taps into something raw and passionate, while also soaring through the speakers with a vibrant, rather triumphant nature to it.
Nashville’s Jess Kerber first picked up a guitar at the age of 12, and her precocious drive to experiment with different tunings and picking styles – influenced by kindred spirits like Joni Mitchell and Susan Tedeschi – led to the development of a unique sonic palette and authentic, personal approach to songwriting. Inspired equally by her upbringing in Louisiana and her studies at Boston’s Berklee College of Music, her compositions highlight the dynamism and depth of her gorgeous voice and thoughtful, humanistic lyrics, as well as the refined intricacy of her guitar playing. While performing in and around Boston and Cambridge, Kerber encountered fellow songwriter Will Orchard, who quickly became a partner and collaborator. Working together on debut album From Way Down Here, Orchard’s production prowess, intuition, and multi-instrumental talents helped push Kerber’s beautiful compositions to a new level of fullness, while retaining the disarming purity of the core elements. Kerber’s rich, emotive tenor and accomplished writing radiate a profound warmth, while varying arrangements of pedal steel, Wurlitzer, drums, and ambient guitar create the surrounding sparkle. The influence of her musician parents – along with a certain nostalgia for what she lovingly calls the “way apart from the rest of the world feeling” of the Deep South – shines through in the honest, straightforward, and timeless qualities of her composition. In Fall of 2026, Kerber released her sophomore record, The World is Dark, but I Want It to Be Funny.
