Grace Michelle

Grace Michelle, a 19-year-old pop/country singer-songwriter, began her musical journey performing at local venues in her hometown of Pensacola, Florida. In the summers of 2018 and 2019, she had the opportunity to perform at the prestigious Annual Music City USA Showcase in Nashville, Tennessee. At just 15, Grace started traveling to Nashville, where she recorded her first original songs with Jamie O’Neal. Her debut record was released on all platforms in 2020, followed by more original tracks, including her song “Mama Was the Best Dad,” co-written with Corey Barker. This song was nominated for Single of the Year at the 2022 Josie Music Awards.

Tanya Gallagher

Southern songstress Tanya Gallagher is a modern day troubadour. Born and raised near the Florida-Alabama line, she spent her formative years quietly making waves along the Gulf Coast with her thoughtful musicality and elegant stage presence. With a husky voice, an acoustic guitar, and a gift for crafting tender, quirky folk songs, Gallagher has spent the last decade touring around the US and Canada sharing her songs with anyone who will listen.

Devan Dunlap

Devan Sean Dunlap is a guitarist, pianist, singer, and songwriter based in Pensacola FL. Her styles of music range from R+B/jazz and pop to rock & roll and country. Her original music is woven with themes of nostalgia, gritty reality, mental health, crime, heartbreak, and revenge. Devan has been playing piano for 25 years, guitar for 20 years, and has been singing and writing her whole life. She has played the Pensacola Beach Songwriter’s Festival in 2023, the Pensacola Songwriter Rounds, and was a spotlight artist for the PBS/WSRE Southern Storytellers docuseries release.
