Will Orchard is a Nashville-via-New England based indie-folk artist. He has made a name for himself as both a deeply emotive and disarming songwriter, and a relentless DIY troubadour. His music has taken him on tour around the US and Europe more times than he can count, often with his partner & fellow songwriter Jess Kerber. His latest record, Behind The Shadow Glass, was lauded by many indie outlets, including Atwood Magazine, who praised his “poetic introspection, stirring melodies, and earnest, open-hearted spirit”. In 2026, he looks forward to continued tour dates around the US and Europe, and a new record on the horizon.

John Everett Hardin has performed under many names in his 20 years as a working musician. Multiple bands and three iterations of his given name, each time changing between album releases in what he describes as “subconsciously calculated  self-sabotage.” With To The Terrible Blood, Hardin releases his second full-length album as Bright Arcana. Perhaps because he doesn’t consider Bright Arcana to be a sobriquet for himself, but the name given to the ark through which his songs are delivered, Hardin finally finds what he considers “the closest thing to a sense of identity” for his music.
