About the artists:
Ebony Nicole is a passionate singer and songwriter with a love for creating music that touches the heart and soul. Her journey in music is all about connecting with people through melodies and lyrics that tell a story. Using a sonic mix of folk, pop, and lo-fi rhythms. From soulful ballads to upbeat anthems, her songs are a blend of personal experiences with universal emotions. For music and more check out her Facebook page here.
Isabel March is a Virginia based singer – songwriter from the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Stylistically, her music can be characterized as “dream folk”, pointing to influences like Gregory Alan Isakov, Sufjan Stevens, Jason Isbell and The Avett Brothers. Vocally, Isabel’s greatest influence is Billie Holiday, creating a compelling balance of folk and jazz in her compositions. For music and more check out her website here.
