Ira Wolf
(Montana)
Genre: Bluegrass, Folk
Raised in the mountains of Montana and making a home on the road, Ira Wolf’s music and writing are vulnerably honest as she explores heartache, homesickness, and the highs and lows of an unconventional wandering lifestyle. She draws from personal experience and connects on an intimate level with her audience through her truthful lyrics and melancholy vocals.
Since she began touring in 2014, Ira has earned more than 100 million plays on Spotify, performed across six continents, and shared stages with artists such as Penny and Sparrow, Dead Man Winter, Adeem the Artist, David Ramirez, and Andrea von Kampen. She’s been featured for her songwriting and vocal style at Rocky Mountain Folks Fest, Kerrville Folk Festival, Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Americanafest, and Midwest Music Fest, and continues to travel the U.S. while living full time in a camper van.
After sharing The Closest Thing to Home in 2017 Ira maintained a busy tour schedule, living on the road full time until 2020. Amidst the changes brought on by the pandemic Ira took a step away from music to focus on her mental health. In 2023 Wolf returned to writing and performing and signed with Nettwerk Music Group to release her highly anticipated fourth album Rock Bottom. Ira recently partnered with Storyteller Overland and moved back into full-time vanlife with plans to continue touring both nationally and internationally in promotion of the new record.

Allison Mahal
(Milwaukee, WI)
Genre: Folk, Folk-Rock
Milwaukee-based folk-rock artist. Mahal’s debut album 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘖𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘠𝘦𝘵 is due May 2023. NOTY is a roadmap to navigating early adulthood, with grief, community, and introspection at the forefront. 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 featured her latest single “Autopilot,” calling it “quietly devastating,” while noting, “It’s a fantastic vocal performance from the rising artist; by the time the crest of the wave is reached and she ushers us back down again, it feels as though she’s stepped into some of her own power.” 𝘕𝘗𝘙 wrote, “In the same way Taylor Swift’s ‘All Too Well’ is sad in the best way, ‘Autopilot’ makes Mahal’s discontent feel like the slight sting of a crisp autumn wind: chilling, but welcomed.”
