21-year-old folk rock singer/songwriter Calista Garcia delivers flairs of Latin, blues, roots and pop, all tied together with introspective lyricism.

“The Coals” outlines being able to “find your voice when you’ve been silenced or have silenced yourself,” Calista shares. “It’s about letting yourself scream and howl when you’ve half forgotten how to. It’s about resisting the comforts of the things that have damaged us. It’s about breaking old patterns, and the kindness of no longer killing ourselves to be kind.”

Singer-songwriter Julian Taylor just released his next album, Beyond the Reservoir.

“I really enjoyed writing and producing this new album,” Taylor says. “I dug down deep. It’s extremely personal like my last record, and I’ve taken that to heart. It took me longer to write this piece of art, and I think that I was learning and teaching myself so many things along the way. I’ve realized that by sharing my personal truth and the stories of my life, as they are and were, is a real gift to myself and to others. It’s not easy to love ourselves, and it’s not easy to love in general. I have a difficult time with it, and as I shed my own skin to reveal that kind of vulnerability, I find it connects me to the human experience in a more meaningful way.”
