She knows everything about waves in the ocean and hot wind across the desert.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Her<\/span>\u00a0debut album<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>I See Jane<\/span><\/i>,<\/span>\u00a0expresses the longing felt when apart from a loved one, the search for true home, the love for oneself<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0and the connection with that which is yet unknown. Her soundscape is vast, touching earthy acoustic resonances in powerful vocals, strings, and pianos with shimmering synths, searing guitars, and harmony<\/span>\u2014<\/span>all amidst the blossoming silence.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Based in Mesa,\u00a0<\/span>Arizona<\/span>, Grace Rolland has a long musical history.

She trained classically on the cello, learned piano and guitar, and sang Patsy Montana in her family\u2019s cowboy fiddle band.\u00a0<\/span>Rolland<\/span>\u00a0developed a deep love of music and found in her voice her true companion. Adept at many instruments,\u00a0<\/span>she<\/span>\u00a0writes songs with attention turned to sound. The room, the body of the instrument, the shape of a word<\/span>\u2014<\/span>her ear for sound and poeticism brings rich texture to her<\/span>\u00a0songwriting.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Senators<\/span><\/span> The Senators\u00a0<\/span>draw<\/span>\u00a0folk rockers and indie hipsters alike, blending sophisticated songcraft with humble pastoral sympathies, featuring poetic lyrics, uplifting harmonies, and complex instrumental layers\u00a0<\/span>of<\/span>\u00a0a more melodic branch of indie rock.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Jesse Teer, Chuck Linton, Marshall Hunt, and Jason Yee grew up with music in very different ways. They were\u00a0<\/span>high school<\/span>\u00a0band\u00a0<\/span>geeks,<\/span>\u00a0they spun their parents\u2019 Beatles vinyl as loud as\u00a0<\/span>they<\/span>\u00a0could get away with<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and<\/span>\u00a0they started punk bands in the garage.<\/span><\/p>\n When stars aligned to bring these musicians together, it gave life to melodies that had been in their heads for years.
