Chavis Chance
‘Call Me’
[folk/singer-songwriter]
Press Notes:
A hippie at heart that loves a fat back beat, Chavis Chance is an American singer-songwriter from Plano, Texas currently based in Spain. Growing up the son of singer-songwriter rock ‘n roller, Dirk Hamilton, Chavis is bringing the spirit of a by-gone era to the modern pop song.
Fusing a love of folk, rock, and soul with a distinct attention to lyrical content, the music is at once both old and new. While the productions are undeniably modern, groove based and thick with low-end, the songs themselves manage to retain a certain timeless quality about them. Chance carries the torch of previous generations, moving forward by looking back, as he pursues the next iteration of the modern singer-songwriter sound.

Missy Bauman
‘Infinite Everything’
[folk/acoustic]
Press Notes:
Described by Rrampt Magazine as “…an exploration of the ethereal…the work of a truly talented artist”, Missy Bauman delivers ‘dreamy drug folk’ – an empowering voice for the odd girl out. Bauman’s fearless songs and transformative shows have been celebrated across the country, sharing stages with Canadian greats Feist, Bahamas, Kathleen Edwards, and the Arkells. A timid woman by nature, Missy transforms beautifully through music. Her brave interrogation of sexual assault, “Two Sisters”, was awarded a ‘Songs from the Heart’ award from Folk Music Ontario for best political piece of the year, and a finalist in the international John Lennon Songwriting Competition. With such recognition accumulating already, Bauman’s forthcoming album, ‘Sweet’, is bound to be her boldest and brightest yet.
