Renée Christine, Zan Fiskum @ BALLARD HOMESTEAD

Renée Christine: reneechristine.com

Referencing landmark literature, modern headlines, and their own coming of age, Renée Christine crafts powerful, stirring protest music without apology. Raised outside of Philadelphia, PA and now based near Phoenix, AZ, Renée forged relationships with people across the political spectrum as a backpacker, both informing and enforcing their desire to write about what they believe in – from climate justice to calling out abuses of power. Across their discography, Renée Christine speaks to the crises of a young generation that has been dealt a losing hand by its predecessors, but maintains hope for a better future. “I want to be bold in ways that my younger self could never imagine.”

Their debut album is set to release fall 2026.

Zan Fiskum: zanmusic.net

Zan Fiskum is a singer and songwriter from Maple Valley, WA, whose music blends folk, soul, and cinematic pop into emotionally vivid storytelling. Known for her commanding vocal range and a diverse sound rooted in the Pacific Northwest, Zan has built a dedicated following through a series of independent releases that have amassed over a million streams. She has opened for artists including The Avett Brothers, Kingfish, Mon Rovia, and shared the stage with John Legend and Dave Matthews.

With her third album, “American Sparrow,” Zan returns with a confidence and clarity that brings her voice into sharper focus than ever. Produced by Grammy-winning producer Tyler Chester, the record expands the range and emotional depth of her sound: blending pop, soul, folk, and country into a cinematic, road-worn world of warm textures, brought to life alongside powerhouse collaborators.
