About the artists: Todd May's "day job" is guitarist for Lydia Loveless, but he's also had a long and storied solo career, releasing his first album in 2012. His music has been described as "grizzled, melody-addled Americana". His releases include LTD, Rickenbacker Girls, The Little Record That Couldn't, and Let's Go Get Lost. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZNwn-VaqP4 

Shane Sweeney, the bassist for Columbus's Two Cow Garage, is a touring juggernaut, both with the band and solo. He logs hundreds of miles and 200-plus dates each year (pre-pandemic). In addition to seven albums with the band, Shane has three solo releases since 2010, including The Lost Art of Living, The Finding Time, and Complex Ecosystems. His songs are heartfelt, sincere and powerful, and he's a wonderful storyteller.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEOfb4vFgMg
