She Returns From War
(Charleston, SC)
Genre: Americana
Hailing from Nashville by way of the historically rich city of Charleston, South Carolina, Americana music artist Hunter Park is defining what it means to not only live in the modern South, but to be a trans woman and artist within this landscape. Combining folk-infused vocal melodies and evocative lyrics that capture the unfiltered human experience, She Returns From War is taking her seat in the Americana music world with grace, strength, and passion.
Maximiano
(Milwaukee, WI)
Genre: Alternative, Americana, Folk
Ever since the release of their critically acclaimed debut album, “The Real Truth”, Maximiano’s music has reached indie, folk, and americana scenes all across the country. The Milwaukee, WI based singer, songwriter, producer, engineer, and multi-instrumentalist toured extensively in support of “The Real Truth,” which The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel named the 3rd Best Album of 2024, calling it “one of the most piercing and emotionally resonant collections of songs… a towering artistic achievement.”
Maximiano performed 107 shows in 28 cities across 15 states in 2025 while still finding time to produce, mix, and collaborate with 30 artists and bands. In the midst of this hard work, Maximiano had a brief period of rest when their friends asked them to dog sit in the Hudson Valley region of New York. During that ten day span, Maximiano wrote their new album, “Rokeby,” named for the area that inspired the songs.
“Rokeby,” which Maximiano wrote, produced, arranged, recorded, and mixed, expands upon the lush production of “The Real Truth” in its first half before refocusing around the raw intimacy of performance in the stripped back second half. Every song on the album, no matter the production style, is driven by Maximiano’s trademark songwriting style: “honest, vulnerable, and altogether beautiful,” (Milwaukee Record).
The album is rooted in peace, community, and opposition to technocratic fascism so, in line with these beliefs, it will not be released on Spotify. Additionally, in solidarity with every artist who suffers under the streaming model, only the first half of the record will be available on other streaming platforms. The full record will be available on Bandcamp, vinyl, and CD on April 1st.

Lily Slay
(Milwaukee)
Genre: Alternative Folk
Lily Slay has a voice like Velcro, molasses, and campfire ashes. She’s the Southern Belle paradox meets Midwest hot mess.
Her SC band The Royal Tinfoil, slings rock Americana, honky tonk, garage blues, dumpster pop, and pluff mud party jazz debauchery.
In 2022, Lily packed up her kazoo, her wig collection, and moved to Milwaukee to spread her wild brand of camp, whimsy, and off-beat Southern sensibility across the Cream City.
