Through his original songs and idiosyncratic re-imaginings of the American folk vernacular, Odin Scott Coleman feels like the sort of musician your great-grandparents might have whooped and hollered for. Equipped with a banjo, a whistle worthy of working to, and a penchant for storytelling, Coleman spins a compelling yarn as he weaves together elements of the frontier ballad, IWW labor song, sea chantey, and Appalachian folk ballad. Though brought up in a maritime household in the great Pacific Northwest, Coleman moved to Los Angeles in 2021 after having spent a handful of years living, traveling, and busking around Europe. He has since established a strong presence in L.A.’s folk community, having performed at iconic venues such as Zebulon, the Hotel Cafe, and Club Tee Gee. He has conducted masterclasses with Alan Parsons OBE and has cinched a 1st place slot at the Topanga Banjo/Fiddle Festival three years in a row (‘24-‘26).
In 2026, his “Song for Renee Good,” posted on TikTok, was featured in Rolling Stone. He also performed at the iconic White Horse Tavern in Austin, TX for SxSW. In summer 2026, he will be releasing a short EP recorded live in-studio at Soggy Anvil Records.
Beyond his music, Coleman has worked as an illustrator, a professor, a line cook, a waiter, a dishwasher, a janitor, a maintenance technician, a door-to-door fishmonger, a black market tobacconist, and currently works in the family trade as a deckhand aboard a small Alaskan cargo ship.
With lyrics covering everything from vigilante cryptids to bad trips in abandoned trailers, Adira Sharkey’s songwriting sets her apart in the Americana scene. Her low-slung voice lends itself perfectly to her raw, unfiltered storytelling, where her songs take audiences to the darker side of love, longing, and life’s misadventures. Like any unusual art, her voice isn’t for everyone, even inspiring one YouTube commenter to note “weird voice.” Still others are won over by Adira’s low rasp: “[she’s] like if Cher was country”, explained PNW folk pop favorite Izzy Burns.
Often joined by an upright bass player, her rhythmic vocal arrangements and percussive finger picking is complemented with traditional roots music accompaniment, delivering a punchy alt-country sound. She’s honed a bluesy folk feel from years of playing shows up and down the west coast, and has recently had the distinct honor of opening for Grammy nominated artist Kelsey Waldon at Seattle’s Sunset Tavern. Her forthcoming debut album evokes a genre melting blend of Tom Waits and Patsy Cline, with just a pinch of Ani DiFranco.
Birdie is a songwriter living in Ellensburg, WA. Her songs cover topics ranging from heartache to heartbreak, the night before to the morning after and everything in-between.
