The last few years have been a little hazy for Lilly Hiatt, who finds herself searching for answers on her striking new album, Forever. Recorded at home with her husband, Coley Hinson who produced and played most of the instruments, Forever grapples with growth and change, escape and anxiety, self-loathing and self-love. The songs are intensely vulnerable, full of diaristic snapshots and deeply personal ruminations, but they’re also broad invitations to find yourself in their unflinching emotional excavations. The result is a raw, unvarnished work of love and trust that walks the line between alt-rock muscle and singer/songwriter sensitivity, a bold, guitar-driven exploration of maturity and adulthood from an artist who wants you to know you’re not alone, no matter how lost you may feel.

Born in Los Angeles and raised in Tennessee, Hiatt first earned buzz with a pair of early solo records before breaking out with 2017’s Trinity Lane, which helped earn dates with the likes of John Prine, Margo Price, Drive-By Truckers, and Hiss Golden Messenger in addition to festival slots from Pilgrimage to Luck Reunion. NPR called the album “courageous and affecting,” while Rolling Stone hailed it as “the most cohesive and declarative statement of the young songwriter’s career.” Hiatt returned in 2020 with the similarly well-received Walking Proof, and in 2021 with Lately, which The Boston Herald said showcased her “knack for plainspoken, poetic lyrics” and Uncut proclaimed “captivating.”

Graham Greer is the lead singer and songwriter behind Ottawa’s venerated Barstool Prophets, who were signed to Mercury Records in Canada and the US in the 1990s. They released 2 Mercury albums: the Canadian Gold-selling debut ‘Crank’ and the fan-favourite sophomore ‘Last of the Big Game Hunters’, enjoying Canadian rock radio success with hits like Paranoia, Little Death, Last of the Big Game Hunters, and Upsidedown, with their single ‘Friend of Mine’ cracking the Canadian top 20 pop charts.

Following the breakup of the band in 1999, Greer released 2 solo records: Moonlight Graham - Palookaville in 2003 and a self-titled follow-up in 2009. (All available on Apple Music and Spotify) He is currently recording new material for a 2026 yet-to-be-titled release.
