Steven van Betten is a songwriter living in Los Angeles who’s taken aim on storytelling. From reflections of the American West to the depths and intimacies of human relationships, his lyrics reveal the magic hidden in mundane day-to-day life. Born and raised in Blue Diamond, Nevada—a tiny, rural, desert community—his music is inspired by time spent playing guitar in rocky canyons, taking breaks to climb the sandstone and search for swimming holes in the sweltering sun. Echoing across dim, lamplit living rooms, his solo shows are vulnerable, tender, and brutally honest.While it’s easy to connect some of what he does to a tradition of folk greats like Randy Newman or Towns van Zandt, there’s undoubtedly a modern boundary that Steven is pushing. Deeply experimental and informed by contemporaries like Luke Temple and Sufjan Stevens, there’s hardly a category he fits into neatly. You can’t predict whether a given song will make you chuckle or tear up, but he has a way of being reliably emotional and potent.When he’s not alone with his guitar, Steven Van Betten can be heard in groups such as Fell Runner, Kidi Band, SK Kakraba, and Desert Magic, among others.

Aaron Ross is a prolific singer-songwriter from Nevada City, where he has spent more than 25 years writing songs and performing. Since releasing his debut album, Hallelujah Side, in 2003, Ross has built an expansive catalog spanning 16 studio albums and more than 20 total releases, including several collaborations.His latest album, The Haunting Of, arrived May 1, 2026, with two more albums planned this year.

Dylan Rodrigue grew up in a small spiritual commune in the Sierra Foothills of Northern California, where he was barred from listening to most modern music. Despite the confines, Rodrigue’s father quietly slipped him illicit rock records, and life took a new shape. Dylan now lives in LA, writing and producing an endless flow of highly-eclectic and honest music.
