This Friday, September 6th you are in for a treat at Fountain Square for Indie Fridays Powered by CincyMusic with Lydia Shae, Michael Moeller, and Jims!

Lydia Shae is a Cincinnati, singer-songwriter who's spent over a decade writing and performing around the Midwest. With roots in bluegrass and pop, she focuses in on straight-forward songwriting and storytelling about life and its events. Inspired by the songwriting of artists like Brandi Carlile, The Avett Brothers, and Taylor Swift, she strives to bring unfiltered emotion into her lyrics. With the addition of Josh Belcher (guitarist) and Zach Sabatelli (drums/percussion), the three blend their music styles and experience to create a fusion of folk-pop and indie sounds.
 
 Michael Moeller is a songwriter who looks through a different lens when he looks at the world around him. At any second a flicker of light, a statement in a passing conversation, or the deafening intensity of silence can become the catalyst for the chance to write the next song. The race to put on paper the fleeting thought. One that won't take long before it vanishes.

That craft has been in the life of Michael Moeller ever since he picked up an instrument and knew he had something to say. Referred to as an "Old Soul," Michael writes the songs he sees around him, writes the songs he feels, and writes the songs he experiences: life, loss, love, joy, and faith.
 
 Since 1996, at the ripe age of 11, Jims has been performing his unique blend of styles and movements that have held a profound influence through the years. Holding frontman/guitar duties with his early projects Code Red, GDS and Prick B. Mafia, once he reached his 20s he started up his longest project to date, Sweet Ray Laurel. During the same period he was moonlighting as a drummer in Silver Bridge Disaster then as guitar and vocalist in Good Night Noises. Soon after he picked up the sticks again for Martin Luther & The Kings and then Smoke Signals. You can also find Jims currently in the band 2-22s!
