HALEY JOHNSEN
Haley Johnsen, an Oregon-born artist, fuses the heartfelt emotion of Americana with the infectious energy of Alt Pop. With a timeless voice that channels the soulful power of Brandi Carlile and the warm authenticity of Bonnie Raitt, her music is deeply personal yet universally resonant. Rising to the top of American Idol Season 11, Haley embarked on a prolific songwriting journey, releasing acclaimed EPs and her debut album Golden Days (2019), which featured Allen Stone on the bluesy track “Weekend.”
Haley has shared stages with acts like KT Tunstall, Joseph, and The Talbott Brothers and toured as bassist and backup vocalist for Big Wild, performing at iconic festivals and venues such as Coachella and Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Her pandemic-inspired album Goner (2022) blended retro pop with indie folk, while her latest EP Late Bloomer (2024) mixes Texas twang with her Oregon roots, focusing on growth and self-expression. Described as “an alt-pop Americana album with soul and a backbone” by Willamette Week, Late Bloomer empowers listeners to find their voice and step into their power. Through captivating performances and heartfelt storytelling, Haley leaves audiences feeling inspired, seen, and ready to embrace their true selves.
FOX AND BONES
Scott Gilmore and Sarah Vitort are Fox and Bones—energetic offbeat folksters with a retro-tinged, soul-stirring, modern vintage bent. The indomitable duo has brought their optimistic Americana polish to international stages shared with the likes of Rayland Baxter, The Dead South, ZZ Ward, Fantastic Cat and ALO among others.
Fox and Bones’ fourth album titled “Long Time Honey” is a collaboration with esteemed songwriter Greg Holden and was awarded Best Folk/Americana Album of 2024 by the PNW Music Awards.Americana Highways (US) beamed Long Time Honey “should rightly be considered one of the best Americana albums of the year” and Naga Mag (Greece) lauded, “The much-loved vocals are so familiar and warm that you feel the love overflowing inside you”
Their hardworking artistic output has earned them first place at the 2023 Tucson Folk Festival songwriting contest and second place in the International Acoustic Music Awards, amongst other accolades. In between their rigorous tour schedule, the duo founded Portland’s Folk Festival: an annual celebration of folk and Americana music at the iconic Crystal Ballroom in their hometown of Portland, Oregon.
TIM KARPLUS
// Sometimes you’ve got to break before you bend //
Tim Karplus is an American singer, songwriter, guitarist, pianist, and producer. Striking a colorful balance between driving riffs and melodic pop refrains, Tim’s music has been described as ‘classic’, ‘soul-affirming’, and ‘Portland songwriter rock at its finest’.
Sharing the stage and collaborating with some of Oregon’s biggest names, including Haley Johnsen, The Weather Machine, Anna Tivel, and Robert Wynia has made Tim a hallmark of the Portland music scene. He can regularly be found playing shows, recording, or touring along the West Coast, ready to connect with the musician inside all of us.
