Susan Muranty is all about the sky. She is obsessed with stars of all kinds - actual, astrological and Hollywood old-style glamour. She adore's the colour blue and loves the curious fact that ... blue is the hottest flame. She lives on an island in Sydney, one of the most civilised places on earth, but roar up a mountain-high fire trail in a four-wheel drive every night just to get home. Her house is surrounded by wilderness but she is as passionate about fashion and beauty and art and food as she is about living with nature. Susan came to music through the medium of words - as a lyricist and a poet with a story to tell. Songwriting is magic to her and we discuss this in more detail  in the podcast.

Adam Fitch is an alternative folk solo artist from Millburn, New Jersey. Over the years, his style has developed into its own unique blend of folk and soulful jazz. He has an eclectic array of experience playing with bands as a guitarist, bassist, and vocalist in genres such as progressive metal, hip hop, electronic music, soul, blues, and more. Lyrically, Fitch has a level of emotional transparency and depth that invites personal exploration and doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of being human. He draws lyrical influence from artists like Conor Oberst and Gregory Alan Isakov, while offering more jazzy and exploratory chord choices. Sometimes fun and sexy, sometimes loving and soft, and often raw and exposed, his songs always dig beneath the surface and offer listeners his open, honest self. His performances are highly intimate, with fans claiming that he "offers up his soul when he sings". This has created a small group of devoted fans during his young career. His other band, The Vegan Beats, will be releasing an LP in late 2020. He is currently based out of West Palm Beach, Florida.
