Son Volt and Kelly Willis

Born in the alt-country scene with Uncle Tupelo, Jay Farrar shaped Son Volt, delivering landmark '90s albums. His solo endeavor led to a Son Volt reunion in 2004. Known for exploring America's past, his work blends folk, country, blues, and rock. The 2020 pandemic reshaped Son Volt's plans, leading to "Electro Melodier."

Kelly Willis, born in Lawton, OK, is an alt-country and Americana singer-songwriter known for her emotive vocals. She launched her career with 1990's "Well Travelled Love" but gained acclaim with 1999's "What I Deserve." Often collaborating with her husband Bruce Robison, notable works include "Cheater's Game" and "Our Year." Willis' albums like "Easy" and "Translated from Love" showcase her talent. She has collaborated with artists like Vince Gill and Jay Farrar. Her 2018 release "Back Being Blue" marked her return to solo work, produced by Robison.
