In The Spotlight

Ruby Poole – “You Still Love Me Anyway”

Hailing from Harwich, this British singer-songwriter woke up at 5 years old to find that she had completely lost her voice overnight due to vocal nodules. Using music as therapy, she joined the Harwich Sing choir at the age of 9. At 18 she moved to London to study at ACM Music College. Since then, she’s performed at summer concert series such as Three Wise Monkeys and opening for James Arthur. Inspired by Adele, Etta James and Jocelyn Brown, she debuted with “Back Up Plan” in 2026.

Serving as a thank-you letter to a partner who offers unconditional love and stays by your side during a mental health crisis, her new single explores hitting rock bottom and having that special someone’s support. Keeping the instrumentation acoustic and simple, this song is a stripped-back gem. With a gentle, driving piano leading the sonic way, it’s joined by a subtle bass and orchestral strings. And with her intimate vocals, this melancholic tune is there when you need it most.

Evan Honer – “Delusional”

Born in Surprise, Arizona, this singer-songwriter was introduced to music through his dad’s CD collection of 70s artists. At a young age, he began competing in gymnastics, reaching regional champion aged 10, and later switched to competitive diving. He first tried the guitar at 13, returning to it seriously at 19. He’s played festivals like Summerfest and venues like The Grand Ole Opry. Inspired by Jim Croce, John Lennon and Tyler Childers, he released his debut single “How Could I Ever” in 2021.

Capturing the psychological toll of the harsh lifestyle and constant exhaustion of a touring musician, his new single details the moment severe sleep deprivation can start blurring the lines between reality and imagination. Blending folk and Americana into a rich, full-bodied sound, this song is an energetic groove. With a driving beat, layered guitars and melancholic pedal steel forging the sonic background, it’s his raw, weary vocals that give this tune some emotional intensity.
