HEINWA
Hometown: Denver, Colo.
Formed: 2020
Latest Release: "HEINWA: At Home with Her Greatest Hits" Self-release, Oct. 30, 2020
About: HEINWA is the solo project of Annalise Goetz, a music education student from Denver. Annalise started HEINWA during spring 2020 while quarantined at her parents' house. With the help of her brother and producer Alex Goetz, HEINWA's debut EP was released. The EP, "HEINWA: At Home with Her Greatest Hits" reflects on the unprecedented nature of 2020 and maintains a warm spirit by featuring audio clips of people closest to Annalise that she could not see in person. Despite all of the weird stuff that 2020 has brought, Annalise remains a funny guy motivated by Chicken Tikka Masala and good tunes.
What's it like being a musician in quarantine: There is an inclination to want to create something meaningful in all of my time stuck in the house but everyday is pretty mundane so I don't feel like I can always create something that people will want to listen to. There is a lot of negativity and panic surrounding the pandemic and so it is important to find positive outlets for all of the emotion that comes along with this. Writing music has been everything to me during this time of disconnect. Even though it may be hard to write as much music as I want to, I've found that people around me are super supportive. Everyone needs good news and joy and great music right now so there are a lot of people to share your hype with.

Immigrant's Child
Hometown: We all come from different parts of Colorado so we just say Denver!
Formed: 2018
Latest Release: "Immigrant's Child" EP, Self-release, Nov. 27, 2020
About: Immigrant's child consists of four members: Josiah on bass, Mario on guitar, Brenden on drums and Keeana on vocals. Siblings Josiah and Keeana met Mario years ago and have been jamming since they were 14, 15 and 17. In 2017 the trio started writing music regularly and Brenden joined a year later.
What's it like being a musician in quarantine: We started playing shows for the first time last summer. After working on a bunch of new music we decided that 2020 would be our year and we booked most of the summer, but then quarantine happened. We were bummed that we weren’t able to play live shows because it’s the best part about being musicians, but quarantine has given us time we may have never had otherwise. Recording the EP had been on the back burner because we got busy with work, performances, school, etc. The time at home gave us an opportunity to focus on recording, getting a new photo shoot done, working with a graphic designer for new art, and focusing on social media. It has been hard getting creative to keep people interested, but quarantine has taught us how cool of a tool social media can be in a time like this and how isolation can provide time for art to grow.

Jess Parsons
JULIANNA PHOTOGRAPHYHometown: Liberal, Kan. but Denver since 2008
Latest Release: "Hear Me Calling" EP, Self-released, Jan. 8, 2021
About: With equal parts heartbreak and splendor, Jess Parsons' songs evoke the classic singer songwriters of the 70s with a touch of Rumour's-style world weariness. She can also be seen performing with Alex Cameron, The Still Tide, Bluebook, Patrick Dethlefs & Street Cats Making Love.
What's it like being a musician in quarantine: It's definitely been a shift. There was quite the hustle in 2018/2019. When I wasn't on tour with Alex Cameron, most nights of the the week I was performing or rehearsing with one of the other projects I'm in. The first few months of quarantine felt like a vacation. I really enjoyed the break! Over the summer and fall I recorded some. Also, performed at and booked for Lost City, which was a really fun experience. Most recently, some friends and I bought a tape machine. Working on a basement covers record to pass the winter months.
