Host Remy Reilly

19-year-old Remy Reilly is not only a singer and songwriter with a voice mature beyond her age, but she also plays the drums and piano. Remy got her start performing all around DFW. Remy’s love for music began early on at the age of 2 with singing. By the time she was just five years old, she was already writing her own music. Inspired by artists like Foster The People, Norah Jones, and The Cure, this teenage powerhouse is a force to be reckoned with and a fresh new face in the Dallas music scene. A songwriter wise beyond her years, Remy's first single tackles mature topics like bullying and self-love.

Artists: 

Caden Crawford is an indie rock artist who originates out of Tyler, Texas and has been a central figure in the current music scene that's impressively rising in that community. His love for music came from watching orchestras in person as a child and picking up the violin as his first instrument, while eventually beginning to write his songs by age 14.  Caden graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington in 2013 as a music industry studies major while focusing on vocal performance, as well as attempting to be a folk artist in the Dallas scene for a little while, before eventually moving back to Tyler to start working full time for the next 7 years.  In 2021 Caden's life changed drastically and decided to press restart on life and decided to partake in part time jobs that would allow him to write and play his own music again consistently enough to decide to pursue it full time again.  In the Fall of 2022 he released his first EP titled "Conquest" that includes his first single "Come Now the Storm", a group of songs that span the genres of soul, folk, and rock.  After that release he started forming his band one musician at a time that he now plays and arranges his songs with regularly, all the while still performing solo in a bunch of different areas.  They will be going into production for Caden's first full length album in August with a genre shift to indie/groove rock under the inspiration of Jeff Buckley and the Frames (AKA Glen Hansard).  When he's not playing shows locally or on the road, Caden is bartending at True Vine Brewing Company or relaxing at home with his beagle, Blue, reading graphic novels, or keeping up with baseball daily.

Brent Pendergraft is a singer-songwriter that blends folk-inspired, pop-tinged music and storytelling focused on faith, loss, and the road to healing.

His writing chronicles that journey, providing an introspective look at life. By sharing his story, he hopes you’ll find a common thread echoing your own journey.
