AC Sapphire, Jonie, Nia, and Lilian Blake at 1623 SE 12th Ave – Portland, OR

Ac Sapphire
Sapphire makes a meta-modern version of Americana. Honoring the cross of hippies and cowboys that began the genre, embroidering thoughtful songwriting with cosmic consideration, emotional rock n roll, and western vista inspired folk rock.

Jonie
Jonie brings the heart of Oklahoma folk to her new roots in LA, with a distinct emphasis on songwriting that feels at once lighthearted and fiercely vulnerable. Her lyrics draw from the well of open-hearted honesty, humor, and community that defined her Midwestern upbringing, anchored in an intimate arrangement of fingerstyle guitar and close harmonies with longtime collaborator and multi-instrumentalist Adam Nash.

NIA

NIA is a PDX-based folk project fronted by Nia Personette. NIA’s songs are simple and honest, with lyrics and sounds influenced by both her past life in Oklahoma and a driving desire to have fun at all costs.

Lilian Blake

Lilian Blake weaves songs with her guitar and voice that transport listeners through memories, fantasies, mysteries and the mundane. She pulls lyrics from dreams, relationships, childhood memories and beyond, revering songwriting as a practice in softness and honesty.
