Danika Rozhanica, Benny Gilbert, Matney Cook, Claire McLaughlin

Conor Byrne Pub

DESCRIPTION Danika Rozhanica is a Creator beyond genre. Her songs are a salve for the spirit, & her voice is honest, filled with an earnestness that can quiet any crowded bar. Her art & her life are entirely devoted to creating an even more beautiful, heartfelt world, where we can live in harmony. Singing on county fair stages since the age of three, her voice shines with the light of the muses, sharing the pure balladry of Ireland's Paul Brady, the modern mystic rhythms of Sierra Ferrell, the open hearted lyricism of Ms. Lauryn Hill, & the deep reverent melodies of Rising Appalachia. ___________________________________________________________ Benny Gilbert is an old-time songwriter from Chehalis Washington. ___________________________________________________________ Matney Cook is a singer/songwriter from the Skagit Valley in the pacific northwest. Currently living in the Seattle area, she has led bands like Mudflat Walkers and Nobody’s Peach in addition to her frequent solo performances. Matney has a vocal style inspired by jazz but influenced by honky tonk and folk. Her writing style from song to song varies from waltzy tunes and heart felt love songs to uplifting ballads and sassy country numbers. Her debut album, Natural Time, was released 2021 on OGS Records. The album was a culmination of years of writing and recording, produced with Ken Stringfellow (The Posies, REM) and recorded at several studios throughout Northwest Washington with help from many friends. Her follow up, Life Goes On, was released Sept 2025. Co-produced with Tom McKay of OGS Records and featuring many lifelong friends and collaborators, it is a continued evolution of her folky style, playful and melancholy, syrupy sweet and sassy. It collects songs both old and new and presents a bold image of a songwriter casting back into her history while keeping her eyes on the new horizon. ___________________________________________________________ Claire McLaughlin’s performance of country leaning folk-soul for the noticing heart is always human, always charming.
