Madi Foster is an Americana Singer-Songwriter that calls the mountains of East TN her home. Madi has been singing and writing for as long as she can remember. Simply put, she has always loved to do both.
It wasn’t until late college that she decided to start sharing her own music. After graduating and getting married, Madi started playing house shows around her hometown with other local artists. That set fuel to the fire and inspired her to “really go for it” and pursue her dreams of being a singer-songwriter.
Now, releasing her first single this spring, she continues to write and collaborate with other artists to grow and share her passion.

Halifax folk-pop duo Pillow Fite celebrates the release of their debut EP, Flutter - a dynamic and binge-worthy record that blurs genre lines by pairing tender, heart-on-your-sleeve lyrics with catchy alt-rock instrumentals and folky ballads. Listen HERE or by clicking the album art above.
Drawing on the influence and emotional heft of songwriters such as Sharon Van Etten, Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Tegan and Sara, Pillow Fite's debut record solidifies a fusion of a diverse array of experiences, genres, and ideas. Flutter is a an album that is as deeply heartfelt as it is catchy against all odds. The the Halifax duo collaborated with John Mullane (In-Flight Safety, Loviet, POSTFUN) to create a project that is quiet, intimate, and full of tender moments.
Preview single "Leaves" is built on a bed of chiming guitars, four-on-the-floor drums and dreamy electric leads, and yearns for a time of young love and lost summers when uncontrollable emotion makes you do incomprehensible things. "Half Moon" presents itself as an acoustic folk ballad about grieving with a loved one as they experience the loss of someone else anchored by a mournful chorus. "Alkali" revels in its role as a break-up anthem, while debut offering "Playing The Fool" finds its footing in languid introspection.
Art Ross (they/them) and Aaron Green (he/him) come from disparate backgrounds and musical forms, meeting in the middle to comprise a band that’s tender and fierce, exuberant and gentle. Green—a veteran of the Halifax rock scene, the guitar anchor of Floodland and Hello Delaware—and Ross—a trans rookie songwriter with an acoustic guitar—started writing songs together over text, by accident.
Pillow Fite emerged publicly at the start of 2021 with its non-binary gender-subverting aesthetics already in place. Halifax, a town built on and stuck in rock music made by men, responded with supportive fervour, selling out back-to-back shows that saw the duo expand its sound with help from the scene’s most in-demand players.
Flutter is available today, Friday, June 24, via LHM Records.

Beau – Even If You’re Gone
“An interesting intro on this piece takes us by surprise as the powerful and delightful sounds build. There is life after the incident, the process will continue. We really enjoyed artful approach and were quiet impressed with immaculate build up that really knows how to express power. ”
-Nagamag.com
“Even If You’re Gone” is an emotional ode to heartbreak and longing. Lead singer Heather Goldin’s vocals personify the feelings of maintaining a connection with a person that has been lost to another. The instrumentals in the song ebb and flow between soaring choruses and softer, more reserved breaks, reflecting the rollercoaster of feelings a person may go through when heartbroken.
Beau says, “‘Even If You’re Gone’ is a song about losing the one you love to someone else. The song is about holding on and that even if the love of your life has found someone else, you can’t help but stay connected. This song is that connection.”
The video for “Even If You’re Gone” is a dramatic short film that, though created separately from the song, is perfectly soundtracked by the powerful new single in perfect compliment to one another. The story portrays the stress of a robbery and an illustration of dealing with deep grief, parallel to the song’s theme of missing someone you love.

Young Gun Silver Fox – West Side Jet
“This one adds that extra zip to our daily steps. Drifting on the sounds of a classic groove that is this West Side Jet. A golden tune that captures an era in its embrace of the timeless landscape. We loved the acoustic guitar solo and the rhythmic richness. ”

"YGSF tunes are always about bringing the sunshine, so we made ‘West Side Jet,’ an instantaneous summery jam of folky disco perfection that beams brightly like the golden hour," states the duo Andy Platts and Shawn Lee, who make up Young Gun Silver Fox.
Young Gun Silver Fox, the acclaimed indie duo with yacht-rock tendencies comprising of Andy Platts of Mamas Gun and Shawn Lee (vagabond award-winning video game composer) release their 1970s-influenced pop-rock sounding single “West Side Jet,” the first taste of their fourth studio album Ticket To Shangri-La, due out this fall. The single drops on June 17th on Mixto Records and is accompanied by a fun retro style gaming music video directed by Jack Pell. Watch it at https://youtu.be/LKTKXA6U_O8.
The lead single ‘West Side Jet’ started in Shawn’s London studio and became an instant contender as the first introduction to the album. “When Andy sent me the vocals I was honestly like ‘this is the first single!’ We hadn’t even finished the album yet but it was instant.”
"Lyrically I knew I didn't want to do anything romantic,” expands Andy, “it can’t be about the dancefloor it can’t be ‘I love you, break my heart’ etc. it needed to be something different. The only musical I really like is West Side Story and I’d watched the original again recently, so it’d come back into my consciousness just how brilliant the music and writing was, so it was just a bit of a nod to my fondness of that as a piece of culture.”
Capturing the vibe of the music video, is director Jack Pell bringing it to life in an 80s video game style. Shawn adds, “We had worked with Jack on previous video’s and we were a fan of his animation style. We loved the idea of a Super Mario world for the Westside Jet video. We had a blast shooting our bits except for the part where we had to spin around. I thought I was going to throw up!” Andy elaborates, “Being an evil floating head in the video game version of your own song is one ticked off bucket list! Jack is fantastically talented - he always manages to create a world that you can dive into. Shawn’s right though - spinning endlessly on an office chair = Young Gun Silver Barf.”
The duo's fourth studio album, Ticket To Shangri La showcases a band at the very top of their game, fine-tuning their potent brew of sun-kissed pop-soul, west coast AOR and natural groove with a skill for composition and production that sees them forging ahead down a musical highway blessed with blue skies and positive vibrations. For both participants, the chance to make a new record together is always a liberating experience, as Andy explains; “I always come back to Young Gun Silver Fox like taking a drive to the coast and I just smell the ocean and the air and it’s like ‘wicked I’m back here again’ and I can just kick back and enjoy it.”
Ticket To Shangri La will be released on October 21st and is guaranteed to generate some rays of winter sun!
