Taylor James Donskey is finding his way through the alternative country tradition, sharing stories of everyday people. Bare bones arrangements and simple melodies invite listeners in to explore the emerging themes that shape relationships in times like these. These songs are the lasting impressions of individuals living a simple but impactful life. Never a polished feel, but always just right, Taylor builds on the solid foundations that were given new life by Gillian Welch; perpetuated by Jeff Tweedy and set on its head by Blake Mills. The self titled EP is due out fall of 2019.

TOMMASO is a musical project led by multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer Tommy Veronesi. As someone who has spent majority of his music career behind the scenes, TOMMASO is a platform for him to freely, elaborately, and meticulously exercise the art of meaningful song-craft as a frontman. In his own words, his songs are “an eclectic symphonic chowder of catchy and rhythmic simplicity made to soothe your tainted pop culture hangover.”

Bluefront is a Chicago native, the singer-songwriter first picked up a guitar at the age of ten, growing up in a house always filled with music and music lessons. His love for music and writing remained under the surface while he went to college, law school and grad school. He went to work at a large corporation as in-house counsel, traveling the world and later moved on to a law firm…but the thoughts about creating music were ever-present. “I always thought of being a musician and writing songs as the most fulfilling modes of self-expression”.
