Alex Dupree is a musician based in Austin, Texas. He has released seven albums of original songs that root him firmly but idiosyncratically in the traditions of American folk and country music. His latest album is “Talking to the Dog”, which features, alongside his own writing, a duet with Jolie Holland and new interpretations of classics from Scott Walker and Michael Hurley.

Maria Elena Silva’s music is unapologetic. Her writing shows her roots in rock n’ roll, flamenco and the romantic, the fabric of the work giving palpable hints to her experimental aspirations that make borderline frantic use of the world-class instrumentalists at her disposal. One minute you're hanging on every syllable of Silva's vocals and the next minute you're flying into the clouds on one of the many outlandish guitar lines either played by herself or one of her notably talented guitar collaborators (Jeff Parker, Marc Ribot). Silva performs regularly in Chicago with various ensembles; her quintet features pianist Erez Dessel, bassist Tyler Wagner, saxophonist Garrett Frees and drummer Scott Dean Taylor.
