BlissFund

BlissFund is the longterm songwriting project of musician and painter g.a.mallinson. Started in 2018 as a personal writing project, lyrics are of foremost importance for BlissFund in that every song starts out as poetry only. No music, no melody, no predicating notions or desired themes, just confessional working through life on pen and paper. The poems are then worked up with melody and music as sparse acoustic demos on a trusty small-bodied Martin 00-18, and then sent to the larger live and recording band members for full workup and eventual translation in a full band setting in Jacksonville's indie music venues.

Austin Miller

Austin Miller is a singer/songwriter living in Marietta, GA. His music has been described as "Americana from someone who's seen almost all of America; heartfelt tunes that lead you into an Iron & Wine / Neil Young - flavored reverie."

Dan Stepp

Dan Stepp is a songwriter based in Gainesville, Fl. His songwriting draws on influences of folk, traditional country, blues, bluegrass, and jazz and the great American songbook. His current projects include the chamber folk group The Wire Birds, The traditional country group the Hard Luck Society, and the jazz and blues influenced project the Ramblin’ Mutts. You can also catch him most Tuesdays at the Blue Jay singing jazz standards with the house band at the jazz jam.
