In The Spotlight

Jenny Tolman – “Music City Mutt”

Nashville-raised, this singer-songwriter’s childhood was shaped by her musical family as well as the vibrant local music scene.. Her dad was a member of the band Indian River Boys who played the Grand Ole Opry and toured with Tammy Wynette. She began playing piano at four years old and at 16 got a guitar and taught herself to play. Since then, she’s played CMA Fest and The Bluebird Cafe. Inspired by Roger Miller, Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks, she debuted with “Thinking Out Loud” in 2016.

Singing about embracing your unique identity and celebrating diverse background, her new single is an autobiographical tribute to her heritage and her hometown. Taken from her recently released album “Music City Mutt”, this song mixes honky-tonk country with Americana. With a glittering vibrancy thanks to the twangy strings, steady rhythm and traditional tastes of a banjo and fiddle, this is a lively production. And with her storytelling vocals, this peppy tune is a spirited hoedown.

Willem James Cowan – “Not For You, Not For Us”

Based in London, Ontario, this Canadian folk singer and songwriter got introduced to The Ramones by his dad aged 6, which sparked a passion for songwriting. He went on to study Music Industry Arts and Audio Post Production at Fanshawe College, giving him the tools to release his music independently. He’s since played festivals like NXNE and the Live From The Rock Folk Festival. Inspired by Joni Mitchell, Elliott Smith and Sufjan Stevens, he debuted with his EP “Friends Of The Cove” in 2018.

Capturing the mutual understanding that a relationship has run its course and their paths no longer align, his new single follows the journey of starting over. Taken from his upcoming album “What Should Happen Next?”, expected September 18th, this song combines lush folk with a touch of Americana. Built with atmospheric acoustic guitars, a driving rhythm and a melancholic pedal steel guitar, it’s his intimate storytelling vocals that take us from breakup sadness to hopefulness.
