Maya de Vitry: https://www.mayadevitry.com

Originally from the green rolling hills of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Maya de Vitry is a Nashville-based fiddler-turned-songwriter with a voice that glides effortlessly between tenderness and strength. After a formative chapter of singing and songwriting with roots trio The Stray Birds (five recordings in eight years), she launched her solo career with her 2019 album Adaptations, earning praise from Rolling Stone Country, NPR Music, and No Depression. Since then, she has released three more full-length albums—How to Break a Fall (2020), Violet Light (2022), and The Only Moment (2024); an EP, Infinite (2023); and multiple singles, all of which are testaments to her personal reinvention and creative growth.

Energized by the spontaneity of live performance and a revelatory pursuit of truth in her lyric writing, Maya de Vitry returns with her fifth full-length album, All My Faith. Prioritizing presence and grit over studio polish, she sounds joyously at home in the alt-country and indie-folk realms. Recorded and mixed by 5-time Grammy Award-winning engineer Sean Sullivan and self-produced by de Vitry, All My Faith is a buoyant gathering of songs brought to life by a cast of her closest confidantes and collaborators. All My Faith will be released on de Vitry’s own Mad Maker Studio label on July 24.

“I’d like my music to feel like you are invited into a lush living forest or into a remote river canyon where suddenly you are stripped of not only modern conveniences but also modern distractions. Where you can feel the essence of your own humanity and those around you. Where suddenly a stranger’s story becomes interesting, or where you might choose teamwork and problem-solving and creativity over dogma. Where reciprocity and care start to feel more natural than just about anything else,” she reflects.

From canyons to kitchens, from cold lakes to highway truck stops, the songs form a vibrant collage of joy, sorrow, and gut-wrenching honesty. Whether spinning an inspirational tale about hungover bachelorettes at the Nashville airport or exploring the prison of our own adaptations, de Vitry brings a grounded confidence and quiet charisma rooted in her belief in the power of song to change us.

Sarah Brunner: sarahbrunnermusic.com

Michigan native and Seattle-based singer-songwriter Sarah Brunner brings a rich acoustic Americana sound shaped by nearly 15 years of live performance. A full-time performer both solo and with her band, The Hipocrats, she blends Americana, folk, and country into a cohesive, genre-spanning style.

Sarah began playing guitar at a young age and started performing in 2013 in East Lansing, Michigan, while studying marketing and business management at Michigan State University. She performed in hostels across the UK and busked throughout Europe before relocating to Seattle in 2017, where she has been based ever since.

In October 2021, she released her debut single “Caravan,” featuring Tyler McGinnis, whose creative partnership led to the formation of The Hipocrats. The band has since released their EP Road to Joy and full-length album Friend Ship Joyride.

Sarah recorded her self-titled EP at Bear Creek Studios, released on August 7th, 2026. The project showcases her honest songwriting as she explores love, struggle, and connection through a queer lens.
