Forest Veil is the solo work of Portland, OR producer, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter Monica Metzler. Following the echoes of her elusive muse, Forest Veil creates hypnotic psych-folk that maps the emotional terrain of humanity and its place in the cosmos. Melding a voice that sounds like smokey quartz with psychedelic guitar riffs and enigmatic lyricism, Forest Veil’s sound evokes a haunting nostalgia for other worlds. Though she primarily writes on her own, Forest Veil records and performs with others. An avid guitarist for over 25 years, Forest Veil’s music showcases virtuosic guitar shredding and dynamic musicality. Forest Veil’s music has been placed in ads, movies, and TV shows.

Metzler previously released music under Moniker. Her first work as Forest Veil came in the form of her 2016 release, Zoolights. This album was released on Spirit House Records, which she co-founded with musician Johnanna Warren, in the same year. She currently plays drums for the Portland all-femme band, Pool Boys.

In addition to her musical pursuits, Metzler is a Program Director at a youth music non-profit (My Voice Music) and an experiential arts family therapist.

Enter Emma G, an award winning singer/songwriter, author, and two time Tedx speaker, making an impact by bringing empowerment to teens through music.  Surviving her own brutal experience as a child after suffering with a rare neurological condition called hydrocephalus, Emma G recovered from multiple traumas, including ten brain surgeries, along with the experience of low self-esteem and being bullied as a result of her condition.

“My goal is to save the world one song at a time – both through the music I compose, and the songs I help teenagers write. Through my music, I aim to heal, inspire strength, spread love, and convey truth: helping individuals rediscover their true selves.”

Emma G is releasing an original song each month on a specific mental health topic to create conversation around the issue and establish connection. The song for August is titled: Goodbye and centers around being bullied. Hard Rock Cafe has created a residency for Emma G in honor of her release a song a month strategy.
