Description
Music - Folk/blues/world
Will began exploring his artistry in 2015, with the start of a project called LittleBoyBigHeadOnBike. After several years of unstoppable prolificacy and the quiet bandcamp release of 100 mostly home recorded albums, Will released his first record under his own name titled Old Friends on the Mountain. Another homespun release, Old Friends celebrated intimate minimalism and song craft that was vulnerable and delicate. Often combining acoustic instrumentation and electronic sounds, the record crafted a concise narrative from the many ideas that made LittleBoyBigHeadOnBike what it was.
Seeking now to both honor and shatter his past work, Will Orchard emerges with a record that takes a hard look at the pain that comes from imperfection. I Reached My Hand Out documents the process of walking away from shame, learning to criticize yourself and the world with empathy, and then walking right back again.
Produced by San Fermin?s Allen Tate in Brooklyn, NY, the record highlights bolder instrumentalism, featuring the talents of live band members such as Jess Kerber, Miles Burger, and James Goodwin. Partially recorded as a full band, the record highlights Will?s sense of trust - given much more freely than in any other past work. Combining folk sensibilities with indie rock and dream-pop, the record surreally combines brash declarations with disjointed rants and nuanced confessions. I Reached My Hand Out will be available on May 7th via Better Company Records.
**********************************************************************************
Jess Kerber is a 20 year-old singer/songwriter from the Greater New Orleans area, taking influences from the 60s/70s era of folk. With both parents being musicians, from an early age she was exposed to artists such as Joni Mitchell, The Allman Brothers, and Bill Evans. From self-releasing her debut EP entitled, Falling Forward (shortly after her high school graduation), to being chosen as one of the top ten songwriters to participate in the first Trimble House Songwriting Series in Nashville less than a year later, Jess is putting in as much work and time as possible to be able to continue to form her craft. Jess currently lives in Boston, MA, where she attends Berklee College of Music as the 2018 Lollapalooza full-tuition scholarship recipient; she is currently studying songwriting and music production and engineering. In her music, Jess is consistently striving to write what feels true and to continue to grow upward and on. But mostly, she is working towards exploring all corners of the planet while hopefully, making a change for the better with her words. And also making granola.
Jess is currently working on recording her 2nd album.
In February of 2020, Jess joined established New England singer/songwriter,Will Orchard and band, playing guitar and singing background vocals.
