Morning Bear
The brainchild of Denver-based singer/songwriter John Runnels, Morning Bear is an orchestral indie folk project that channels emotion through vivid imagery and intricate melodies. Morning Bear was formed when Runnels quit his dayjob as an engineer and took a one-way ticket to Europe. From the streets of Sevilla, Spain to the botanic gardens of Copenhagen, the songs touch on following your dreams, growing older, and the doubts of life and love. Characterized by highly dynamic compositions, Morning Bear’s music is a synthesis of the calm and delicate stylings of artists like Bon Iver and Jose Gonzalez with the complexity and depth of the Fleet Foxes and Sufjan Stevens. Featuring soaring vocals and atypical arrangements including cello, violin, piano and more, Morning Bear provides a textured landscape behind pop-influenced hooks.
“...Celeste, is a hauntingly beautiful, orchestral indie folk EP demonstrating tremendous promise from this up-and-coming Denver musician.”
-Alli Andress, AXS.com
Since forming in early 2014, Morning Bear has released two EP's, has toured extensively both nationally and internationally, and has had their music on rotation at college and public radio, including NPR. In 2018, Morning Bear was invited to play Red Rocks amphitheater for the Film on the Rocks series. Morning Bear's most recent single "You're Right" has racked up over 240,000 listens on Spotify.
-Past live radio sessions at KVOQ Open Air (An NPR affiliate station in Denver), WEMF in Boston, MA, KRFC in Fort Collins, CO, KPSU in Portland, OR, and KUCI in Irvine, CA.

Devorah
Devorah is the newest project from Australian/ Israeli singer songwriter, Anita Lester.
Anita originally made a mark in small communities around the world first with ‘Me and the Grownups’, then as ‘Lester The Fierce’.
Over the last five years, after a hiatus and various collaborations, Anita launched her solo project ‘Devorah’ (taken from her middle name).
In August, Devorah released 'Wrong Time' and in October her second single 'Blue' - two seeds planted ahead of more to come.
It is a grounded offering of lyrically led songs, speaking of themes around devotion and slavery.
Devorah has been described as 'The tiny Church with Cathedral pipes" and "Weaving stories like the masters".
