Lizzy Lehman, Ali Holder and Nick Droz

Lizzy Lehman:Austin, TX based queer singer-songwriter Lizzy Lehman released their newest album Technicolor Love on August 25th 2023. These eight songs fearlessly explore self-love, self-doubt, the worrisome state of our world, and the beauty, strength, and resilience of the LGBTQIA community. Our voices will not be silenced.

Ali Holder:Ali Holder, a luminary of the Austin music scene, is hailed by Austin Monthly as one of the city’s foremost songwriters. Over the past decade, Holder has delivered two EPs and two LPs, showcasing her versatility by intertwining traditional singer-songwriter elements with contemporary indie influences, notably in her latest LP, “Uncomfortable Truths.” No Depression lauds her for delving deeply into her own feminism with candid authenticity, crafting tunes that span the vastness of Texas landscapes to the intimacy of troubled relationships. Described by The Austin Chronicle as bridging the realms of Fiona Apple and Aimee Mann, Holder’s music presents breakthrough confessionals and compassionate anthems. With roots in folk and influences from Willie Nelson to Florence and the Machine, Holder’s sonic journey resonates nationally, with sync placements on prominent television networks and a mentorship role at GRAMMY U. With several music and writing residencies under her belt, Holder continues to captivate audiences with her evocative storytelling and heartfelt melodies. Look for new music coming in 2025.
