Join us for MUSIC | ART | FOOD | WINE at 8 PM/Doors at 7 PM on 4/15/2022 for a special evening with Covenhoven and Laura T Lewis.
Covenhoven is nationally recognized indie artist Joel Van Horne, a multi-instrumental singer-songwriter whose rich harmonies, reedy baritone and commanding falsetto have found a home with critics and fans since 2013.
Through 4 full length albums and 2 EPs Covenhoven has forged a signature style; layered acoustic arrangements that roll with momentum into orchestral peaks, accompanied by lyrics that contrast hard-won wisdom with the inherent hope of the natural world—from Big Sur to his native Colorado.
Covenhoven’s latest album, IV (released in October 2021), is his most collaborative and rock forward to date—taking a producing partner in Ben Wysocki of the Fray, who also performs on the album. IV features over a dozen musicians including Grammy nominated singer-songwriter Gregory Alan Isakov, Luke Mossman of Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, and Bluebook’s Julie Davis.
Bandwagon magazine writes that in IV, Covenhoven reaches “into chamber pop territory, and revealing a wider vocal range…sheltered by a gorgeous, rich string and piano accompaniment, whisks us above the campfire folk…”
Covenhoven’s live performances capture the spirit of his recordings—whether its conjuring cascading loops in his solo shows or backed by a full band—Covenhoven’s sound fills the breadth of outdoor spaces, auditoriums and club stages.
Regularly touring the United States, Covenhoven has shared the stage with Grammy winners and nominees S.Carey (Bon Iver), Jose Gonzalez, Gregory Alan Isakov, and John Paul White (Civil Wars). Covenhoven has also performed with genre bending artists Lord Huron, Joshua James, Blind Pilot, Esme Patterson, John Craigie, Daniel Rodriguez (Elephant Revival), Shook Twins, Reed Foehl, Rainbow Girls, Joan Shelley and host of others.
Covenhoven songs have been streamed 3 million times and reached over 14 million people through television shows including: 13 Reasons Why, Nashville, Teen Wolf, Home Before Dark, Flaked, Kevin Probably Saves the World, and Private Eyes—Canada’s most watched show for 5 years.
Laura T Lewis
Raised on the northern fog banks of the San Francisco Bay, Laura T Lewis grew up singing along to old cowboy country, Greenwich Village folk, and Motown soul; the music made nostalgic by her performing dad and uncle, Summer of Love transplants from the Midwest. You'll likely pick up on these sentimental notes in her original music.
After spending [too] many years in San Luis Obispo, Laura migrated to Portland, Oregon, where she quickly met an inclusive songwriting community, many lifelong friends, and a partner in love. This group collaborated to create and release Laura's debut LP, "High Above the Brushfire", in 2019. Shortly after, a baby girl joined her family, inspiring a move closer to Home. She now resides in the Santa Cruz Mountains and performs most often as a member of the band Wolf Jett.
While her talent may be raw, her versatile voice, sense of humor, and earnest performance are inborn. Her sound and attitude lend themselves to late nights in rowdy bars, and early evenings in quiet listening rooms. She is looking forward to meeting you in the latter, at lille aeske this April.
