For the fiercely independent Orth, Faraway City is a culmination of over two years of songwriting. Described as "soulful, genuine, and edgy" by the San Francisco Bay Guardian, Orth combines folk, rock, pop, and soul elements with her own indie zeal and a spirit born of her years in social justice activism and grassroots campaign organizing. With gorgeous, multi-octave vocals and no fear of heights, Valerie flirts with the edge as readily as she subverts expectations.

FINDING STELLA's song "What If" landed them in the Top 20 of the 2010 Lilith Fair competition. Their music integrates the classic rock and pop spirit of the 70s and 80s with a newer, warmer rock quality that has been drawing new audiences from along the West Coast and beyond.

ALEXIS HARTE's musical roots extend into acoustic folk, bluesy Americana, and even electrified Afro-pop. His songs are powered by an examination of everyday moments, in which his sharply drawn details loom larger than life.
