Andrew Hoyt is a singer/songwriter born and raised in Des Moines IA, one of the most creative and culturally aware cities in the Mid-West. His passion and drive demand that he is creative every single day, this gift he doesn’t keep to himself, but as a K-5 vocal music teacher he is guiding and inspiring future generations. Andrew believes that arts education of every kind is vital to a well rounded education. His favored instrument is the ukulele, specifically the Hawaiian KoAloha brand, the premiere ukulele manufacturer in the world who sponsor him by providing him with their first class instruments. With other musicians and in classic studio settings Andrew records tracks that reflect his easy style and approachable personality. He is only too happy to give thanks and accolades to his musical inspirations including John Mayer, Jason Mraz, and James Taylor among others. Recently signed to Indie label Golden Bear Records, home of The Well Pennies, he is tireless in his pursuit of creating a long lasting and sustainable music career both domestically and internationally. Keep your eyes on this emerging artist, there are many great things to come.

EleanorGrace, real name Eleanor Berntsen, is a 19-year-old Iowa native who leapt to the Des Moines music scene 3 years ago with her debut single, "Lighthouse." Her eclectic sense if creativity has led her to write songs spanning multiple genres, and she shows no sign of sticking to one thing any time soon. Her most recent release is a full-length record, of a genre she's deemed "quasi-country." The album was produced by Bryan Vanderpool of The Well Pennies, and done during the first half of Bernsten's recent gap year. It reflects on themes of love, loss, and existentialism, but stays rooted in classic country story-telling.
