Leigh Nash is perhaps best known as the pixie-like singer with the heavenly voice from Sixpence None the Richer. Kicking off her acclaimed solo career in 2006, Nash has spent the past decade exploring everything from folk to electronic music. Her most recent album "The State I'm In" marks a return to her days in the Lone Star State, though, with Nash whipping up a combination of Texas twang, Spanish influences, orchestral pop hooks and heartbroken lyrics. In classic country style, she sings about heartache and bad luck in a voice that swoons and sweeps, backed by a band whose members include Emmylou Harris and Wanda Jackson's pianist, Jack White's ace fiddle player and award-winning a cappella group Street Corner Symphony. If The State I'm In sounds like a country album, though, it's a wide-ranging, left-of-center, Latin American-tinged country album, with songs that tip their hat to the past while still moving forward toward something new.

The W Lovers band started with the meeting of two songwriters from different parts of the globe. They fell in love and are making waves, with their own special brand of Americana, Alt- Country songs.
2014 saw Fleur and Wesley Wood make their mark on the live music scene, with over 100 shows in their first year onstage together.
They have made appearances in Seattle, Spokane, Leavenworth, Olympia and Portland and played internationally in New Zealand this January.
Shows have included playing the brand new Subpop records store, playing at Seattle Seafair's family fourth festival and The W Lovers are also regular featured artists at the 'Experience the City of music' initiative at SEATAC Airport.
"A cultured blend of alt country and Americana that rings of rustic small towns and makes the listener feel warm and at home." - The Portland Vanguard
