Jake Lloyd is an Austin, TX area based multi faceted artist, that you can’t confine to just one genre of music. Working closely with his longtime bandmate and producer, Danny Saldivar, also known as DSII. The two have crafted out a signature sound for Jake, fusing Soul, R&B, Hip Hop, Alt Rock, and many other genres that can be heard all throughout his music

The music of new Austin duo Flora & Fawna summons a deep city groove – rhythmically incessant, icy cool and modern. You can almost hear it echoing through nighttime concrete canyons. Yet there’s also something warm and soulful about the way songwriters and multi-instrumentalist songwriters Lili Hickman and Mason Ables blend their voices into one. Both native Austinites, the two met by chance at the Spider House. Ables was playing in a soul band, Hickman, daughter of Austin songwriter Sara Hickman, was playing folk music and looking for other musicians to round out her sound. Their 6-track debut EP is out now featuring "Slow Burn" (recently added to NPR's Slingshot playlist, "Shallow" and KUTX's Song of The Day "Tempted by the Timing." - Jeff McCord
