John Vincent III Presents: Blue June Music Fest

After touring his acclaimed, self-released 2019 debut album, Songs From the Valley, John Vincent III was ready for a bit of a break. Nearly four years later, the 27-year-old Nashville/Houston-based folk troubadour has distilled that once-in-a-lifetime experience into his beautiful and evocative sophomore full-length, Songs for the Canyon. Co-produced by Vincent with Tom Elmhirst (Adele, David Bowie), and featuring additional production from Tony Berg and Ryan Hadlock, Songs for the Canyon is a massive leap forward from a proudly DIY artist who has already built a diehard fan base on the strength of his heartfelt, stripped-down, classic folk sound.

Introducing Maggie Antone - Hailed by several as a bold new voice on the rise in country alternative. Born and raised in Richmond, VA, Antone is charting her own path with her original songs and captivating covers. Her cover of "Lady May" by Tyler Childers got her instant attention and her audience continues to follow along for her original work. 

Antone has made music her full time job since leaving college in late 2021. A songwriter since the age of 16, she is determined to make music that connects with people and write songs that make people feel seen and heard – a quality she deeply admires in the artists that have so inspired her to choose this path. 

Antone is playing shows regularly and has an album of new songs in the works. Courted by multiple labels as the next new superstar, Antone is taking her time and sticking to self releasing her upcoming music with Thirty Tigers in Nashville. 

Cece Coakley is finding her sound in real time. Influenced by songwriting greats like Brandi Carlile, Taylor Swift and Phoebe Bridgers, Coakley has a knack for making ordinary moments feel monumental. Over the course of 2021, the 20-year-old singer-songwriter began turning her dreamy guitar ballad demos into fully realized songs. Her debut single “Cliché,” released earlier this year, has garnered over half a million Spotify streams to date. On her upcoming debut EP, Coakley digs deeper, skirting the line between indie and americana over sliding electric guitars. Musing about romantic clichés and hookup culture with a wisdom beyond her years, Coakley is an old soul living in the digital age. She has a gift for crafting moments into songs, a powerhouse voice to share them with, and nothing but time.
