After interviewing eleven bands and artists in season one, we’re back with season two of In My Tracks. This time, we’re getting personal and diving even deeper into the psyche, the process, and the songs that stopped us in our tracks. ​​These aren’t your average, surface-level conversations. Jada Burt’s guests open up to her about mental health struggles, creative challenges, and the economic real...

Spencer Merk is a Cincinnati-based* trombonist that plays until he is blue in the face. Literally. He is also a composer, arranger, and educator. Last year (2022) was a big year for Spencer. Not only did he win the International Trombone Association’s J.J. Johnson Competition for Jazz trombonists under the age of 25, but he also released his debut album, Last Place in a Bear Race, in November of 2...

Lauren Eylise is a Cincinnati-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who is destined for global stardom. Her latest album, This Is Personal, beautifully captures the ups and downs, or should I say “Peaks & Valleys” of her life. She puts her heart and soul into vulnerable lyrics, and sings with so much passion. Her music takes me back to the days where I sat in the backseat of my parents...

The Wonderlands are a newly Nashville-based pop band originally from Cincinnati. Since releasing their debut album, This Digital Life, in 2020, they have fearlessly grown, adapted, and reinvented their sound. Their music reflects the ever-evolving feelings of nostalgia, loneliness, and love — without being too heavy, morose, or trite. After starting as a duo, the band has since expanded to a five-...

Carriers is a music collective led by Cincinnati-based guitarist and singer-songwriter Curt Kiser. You may recognize him as a former member of the indie rock band, Pomegranates or as the winner of the Album of the Year at the 2019 Cincinnati Entertainment Awards for their debut album, Now is the Time for Loving Me, Yourself & Everyone Else. He also collaborates with drummer Bryan Devendorf of The...

On a Limb is one of the many bands that have pushed the Cincinnati jazz scene forward. They graced this city with their unique trio for years, but started a new adventure in Brooklyn in 2021. Of course, it was sad to see them go, but it’s amazing to see bands from our city follow their dreams and reach new heights. So, NYC, if you’re listening, you just gained some pretty talented Cincinnatians. F...

Trauna is a Nashville-based indie pop duo that is bound to take the genre to new heights. I found them while scrolling on TikTok, and I have been mesmerized ever since. Their ability to tell personal stories over such great grooves keeps me hooked. Sometimes I want to dance while I reflect, and Trauna provides the perfect tunes for that. Follow Trauna and check out their music on all platforms: In...

GrandAce is a Cincinnati-based artist and producer whose music challenges and expands on what is expected from contemporary hip-hop, rap, jazz, and house. He takes the “DIY” concept to a new level by writing, producing, and engineering his music, as well as designing his brand, promoting himself, and curating events. He released over 20 songs and 3 EPs in 2022 alone, so I am thrilled to see what’s...

Ernie Johnson From Detroit is a vibrant big band based in Cincinnati. They refuse to stay in one lane with their expansive music that blends funk, afrobeat, rock, and jazz. Their genre-bending sound is not the only thing that sets them apart though. Their matching jumpsuits have been known to turn heads as well. They definitely have my vote for the best dressed band in Cincinnati. Follow Ernie Joh...

Doran Danoff is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and composer whose work has been featured in films such as, The LEGO Ninjago Movie, and one of my favorite shows of all time, You’re the Worst on FX. He also composed string arrangements for Cage The Elephant’s album, Unpeeled. He pulls from every genre under the sun to create funky, soulful, and rock-drenched tu...

Habe is a New York City-based singer-songwriter, guitarist, and producer who is actively challenging the concept of genre. His 2022 single “On Your Mind” caught my attention during one of my endless scrolls, and I have been vibing out to his tunes ever since. His music will make you wonder how he does it all himself, but honestly — you’ll get lost in his ethereal vocals. Follow Habe and check out...
