Clover County
 
Clover County grew up under the sweet orange blossoms and the spiky palms of sunny Central Florida.
She began songwriting at the age of 13, teaching herself to play from her dad’s collection of 1980’s
songbooks. She drew inspiration from documentaries and interviews with influential women in music,
such as Stevie Nicks, Carol King, Taylor Swift, Ella Fitzgerald, and Dolly Parton.
The name “Clover County”, is a tribute to all the places she’s called home. After moving from Orlando to
Denver, Atlanta to Birmingham, to Athens, Clover grew tired of seeking a sense of home and relying on
the next city to be the “lucky one” where things would fall into place.
“Clover County” represents a state of mind, no matter where you’re planted you have the choice to
grow. With every open mic and backyard show, the Clover County following rapidly expanded, despite
no official music releases or means to afford recording. Clover turned this to her advantage, performing
weekly in Athens, building her audience the old-fashioned way.
 
Ethansroom

Ethansroom is the tangible form of Ethan Fortenberry’s inner world. A versatile creator, Ethan is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and visual artist. For fans of oversharing, reading, and indie music from the mid-2000’s, Ethansroom is an invitation listeners to step into a space that feels lived-in and honest. 

His most recent release, ULTRA LIGHT, finds Fortenberry coming to terms with the years that have shaped him. Blending bedroom pop, indie folk, and post blog-era-indie, ULTRA LIGHT is Fortenberry following the light—even when it feels out of reach.

Over the past year, Fortenberry has remained active both in his own work and as a collaborator. Alongside writing, recording, and visually shaping his own projects, he has recorded with Zach Bryan at Electric Lady Studios, played Red Rocks, and worked with artists including Flipturn, Jack Van Cleaf, and Hayden Everett as a producer, instrumentalist, or both.
