Libby DeCamp and Alex Teller June 28, 2024

Libby DeCamp is a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist based in Detroit, MI. Her songs evoke the spirit of roots music from bygone eras, drawing inspiration from prewar blues, old-time string bands, early R&B, and country western. With one foot in the past and an eye on the future, Libby is a writer who tugs at the ageless thread of truth-telling and communal spirit through song, and tramps into continuous new territories- even at times bordering the mystical and psychedelic. Her lyrical edge and sweet, bluesy,  un-prettied voice come from the gut and create something delightfully rare- whether solo with guitar in hand, or in the full picture of her band’s unique string and groove-centered alchemy.

With his vintage country voice & narrative lyrics, Alex Teller creates music that’s as honest & authentic as the artist himself. Born in Florida, and raised in the suburbs of Long Island New York, Alex moved to Michigan at 19 where he found a jackpot of traditional songs through his deep love for Jerry Garcia & the music of The Grateful Dead. Teller soon started a solo career playing shows & began diving deep into traditional Folk music & the sounds that inspired him the most. Endless nights studying & transcribing the works of writers like Bob Dylan, John Prine & Townes Van Zandt turned into a whole new wave of inspiration & songwriting.

Alex released his debut self-titled EP, “Alex Teller” in January of 2023. The album consists of four original songs, drawing sounds from traditional American songwriters such as Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt and Willie Nelson, in both a nostalgic & fresh way. Produced by the artist himself, “Alex Teller” expresses a tasteful classic tone, fitting for an artist who’s roots drink from the deep well of America’s traditional folk music & the lore of storytelling. While shaping & molding the album, Teller collaborated with an all-star lineup of Michigan music legends (including Peter Madcat Ruth, Drew Howard, and Bill Fuller), adding brilliant color & texture to each of his heartfelt songs.
