Raised in a one room cabin in the small town of Evergreen, Colorado she began writing songs at a young age featuring guitar and banjo. Her roots are in old timey folk and bluegrass, but later went on to realms of Experimental/Psychedelic/French pop which all work to cultivate her sound and melodic patterns. Songs that live somewhere in the realm of familiar but entirely unexpected. Twingle’s debut album ‘Future Caviar’ is out on Little Cloud Records.

John Lensing started out as a street performer, writing songs and driving around the US to play them for people. Slowly, this led to playing shows and festivals, but the goal has always been the same. To make people care — about others, themselves, and things that sometimes hurt to care about.
 
His genre-blurring songwriting has brought him on tours all across North America and Europe. Most notably playing a Sofar Sounds showcase at the Sommer in Altona festival (Hamburg), and being named “an artist to watch” by No Depression.
