DAYKISSER

Daykisser began in 2017, when Memphis native Jesse Wilcox returned home from college with an acoustic guitar and the sketches of ten songs. The band released their debut full-length album “Selfhood” in December of 2019, recorded and mixed by Calvin Lauber at Young Avenue Sound in Memphis, TN. Drawing from mixes of rock, folk, and americana, the group presents a warm, authentically indie sound, with a full dynamic range that recalls the early days of analog pop, when guitar melodies were lyrical and drums were bright and clear. Two EPs and multiple music videos later, Daykisser continues to release and perform music in the greater Memphis area.

ALEXIS JADE

Alexis Jade is an old soul with a new sound. As a singer songwriter growing up in the small town of Rosemark, Tennessee, just thirty minutes outside of Memphis, her sound has been influenced by a unique mix of country, folk, blues, and rock ‘n’ roll. While living in such a rich music area, her dreams of performing have been cultivated from a young age. Opening for local rock bands as well as The Wildfeathers, and Sierra Ferrell, her inspiration and creativity stems from the history of deep rooted musical tradition throughout rural Tennessee. Her debut EP “With Love, Alexis Jade”, is an ambient country culmination of years of heartache, triumph, and the journey to finding your worth. Recorded at the historic Easley McCain Studio in Memphis, the record showcases various homegrown, local musicians and their incredible talents.
