Claire Conway (SEA)

Blending heartfelt, confessional lyrics with intimate, folk-minded instrumentation, Claire Conway is a songwriter and storyteller with an ear for authenticity.Claire has called several places home over the years, including her hometown of Charleston, SC; Verviers, Belgium; Lyon, France; and Seattle, WA, where she now lives and works. Her compelling lyrical meditations on love, loss and growing up take inspiration from her travels and ever-shifting sense of place.Claire has toured regionally and internationally and is currently completing her first full-length album to be released in 2026.

Leo Moon is the solo incarnation of actor, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Brian Adrian Koch. California born and Oregon raised, Brian has been active in the Portland theater, film & music scene since arriving in 2000. He was recently awarded best actor at the Toronto Independent Film Festival. As well as Best Actor at the 2018 Portland Comedy Film Festival.

He is a current and founding member of indie rock band Blitzen Trapper (2000 - present), and formerly of psychedelic folk duo Dead Lee (2017-2023). Appearing now as the head of a cinematic psych folk trio, his minimal and haunting tunes are stripped down paeans to the glorious and filmic moments of life; harmonica spattered psalms to the mysterious, whirling beauty of it all. He is joined by Kate O’ Brien on violin and vocals and Fred Stephenson on lap steel & guitar. The addition of Kate & Fred open the emotional landscape of Leo’s cinematic musical scenery like a key to a lock. Leo has most recently opened for English troubadour Wesley Stace as well as Wild Horses, Loch Lomond & Small Paul. He’s also appeared at Shady Pines Festival in Sandy OR, Washougal Songcraft Festival and Portland Folk Festival. He is preparing to release a full length solo album, The Fool, on Time Release Records and he is also well into recording his follow up.
