With a beguiling voice that would feel right at home on classic country radio, Marley Hale delivers a captivating country/folk sound rooted in the refined yet adventurous musicality she’s cultivated almost her entire life. As revealed on her debut EP, By My Own Ways, to be released July 26, 2024, the Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter matches her timeless sensibilities and graceful musicianship with a one-of-a-kind narrative voice, endlessly merging raw truth with mesmerizing storytelling.
Born in Austin but raised in Northern California, Hale first learned to play guitar from her father at age 10 and soon began writing songs of her own. Although she grew up listening to classic-rock bands like Led Zeppelin and pop visionaries like Kate Bush and David Bowie, she later became fascinated with folk luminaries such as Karen Dalton and Bob Dylan and eventually discovered the artists she now lists among her essential touchstones, including Loretta Lynn and Gillian Welch.
Co-produced by Hale and Dylan McKinstry at Greenpoint Recording Collective, By My Own Ways presents a collection of lived-in stories capturing moments of danger and desperation and all-consuming longing, setting each track to a sound that’s rich in finespun detail. By My Own Ways encompasses everything from smoldering country-rock to piano-laced honky-tonk—ultimately lending a strangely enthralling power to Hale’s intimate meditations on self-loathing and self-acceptance.
Hailing from the sunshine state of Florida, Boston based artist Grace Givertz captivates audiences with her indie folk compositions, blending earworm melodies with heartfelt storytelling. As a multi-instrumentalist, she infuses her music with a diverse array of sounds, weaving folk, Americana, and indie rock into a tapestry uniquely her own.
Drawing inspiration from her personal journey living with chronic illness, Givertz’s music resonates with raw emotion and introspection. Her experiences infuse her songs with depth and authenticity, inviting listeners to explore themes of resilience and vulnerability.
Her sophomore release, Midnight Feature out March 13th 2026, exclusively features BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and/or disabled musicians. This collaborative effort not only amplifies underrepresented voices but also underscores her commitment to inclusivity and diversity within the music industry. Following her 2019 debut, Year of the Horse, Givertz continues to showcase her ability to turn lemons into lemonade through song. “…The only real option is to smile at how much she packs into a tiny punch of a song,” Nina Corcoran writes in digboston.
She has also been heavily involved as a member of the Black Opry, an organization dedicated to highlighting and supporting Black musicians in the country music industry. In 2023, this lead to her participating in WXPN’s Black Opry Residency Philadelphia. She has opened for favorites including Lucy Dacus, Cassadee Pope, Ezra Furman, John Paul White (The Civil Wars), Neyla Pekarek (The Lumineers), and more.
Givertz’s talent shines bright, earning her acclaim for her captivating performances. She has been nominated for two Boston Music Awards, as well as receiving the City of Boston’s Extraordinary Women Award in 2023 and Allston Village Main Street’s Artist of the Year in 2025 for her contributions to music and community. Beyond accolades, she shares her expertise through songwriting workshops, including sessions with the Harvard Ed Portal, empowering others to authentically express themselves.
Grace Givertz’s melodies resonate as beacons of authenticity, illuminating the indie folk landscape and reminding us of the enduring power of storytelling through song.
Boston-based, non-binary-led group Tiberius have just issued ‘Troubadour,’ their label debut album, via Audio Antihero (Frog / Avery Friedman / CIAO MALZ / Magana / Josaleigh Pollett).
Originally a solo project of Rutland, Vermont’s Brendan Wright (they/them), Tiberius has evolved into a catchy and cacophonous four-piece that blends Indie Punk, Alt Country and Psychedelia with confessional, conversational songwriting to create a sound they’ve jokingly dubbed “Farm Emo.”
This sonically layered and eclectic collection offers intensity and heart as well as a warm and rustic flair. Leading singles “Sag” and “Felt” wouldn’t be out of place on a Deep Elm compilation, while songs like “Moab,” “It Has to Be True,” and “Sitting” veer into folksy Alt Country.
The sprawling “Redwood” and “Painting of a Tree” are other highlights of the record, ones which see Wright dig into what they call their “meathead influences,” with arrangements that expand and implode.
“For most of my life, I defined myself almost completely on who I was in relation to others – my friends, my family, and my relationships. Troubadour was written in a short period of time where these relationships changed significantly, and it felt as if I underwent complete ego death. For months, I felt insane but inevitably found solace in nature and the constant of the trees. For a period, I felt utterly connected to the universe in a way that was completely outside my sense of self. I was everything all at once, and it was one of the most profound experiences I’ve ever had. And it was hard. And I think I was lucky enough to capture it in these 10 tracks.” – Brendan Wright
