Kristen Ford

—

Ford’s world is one of the deepest feelings: whether fuming at queer repression, falling head over heels in love, or learning to finally and wholeheartedly practice true self-acceptance. Pinto is a place where she can be candid enough to openly share her losses while being mindful enough to acknowledge her wins. In revealing both her scars and her successes, Ford raises a spirited cry that invites the listener to boldly embrace themselves, to take up space, and to loudly state that “enough is enough.”

It was at a Ford show in 2022 that she first caught the ear of legendary songwriter Ani DiFranco. It was to be another pivotal DiFranco moment for Ford, who credits attending an Ani show at age 15 as the spark that led her to become a songwriter. Over the preceding months, the two struck up a working relationship that has since seen them tour together and co-write four of the twelve songs that appear on Pinto, which arrived in August 2025 via DiFranco’s Righteous Babe Records.

Briget Boyle

With gritty, vulnerable lyrics, powerhouse vocals, and her vintage Gibson J45 ringing like a truth-telling bell, Briget Boyle brings the raw edge of ’90s rock into deeply human territory. Her songs confront grief, love, identity, and chaos with unflinching honesty. There’s no pretending here - just a voice, cutting through the noise, asking: Are you ready to feel this?

Lizz Shine

—

Lizz Shine- a Sacramento based singer, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter- commands the stage as the fearless frontwoman of Lizz Shine and the HRT, an all-queer rock band blending punk, folk and reggae. An out and proud transgender woman, Lizz writes and performs songs that center and celebrate trans and queer lives.

After her solo debut Shine, the band’s sophomore album The Reckoning drops May 2026, and its third single, the fierce punk anthem “Not Gonna Take It” hit in February 2026 as a direct response to the hatred and challenges facing the trans community. Catch Lizz and the HRT on a spirited West Coast Tour this spring and early summer- an electrifying live experience where every song makes you feel seen, heard and loved.
