Live at the Mansion

Jake Harrell is a musician, educator and music producer raised and based in Austin, with deep roots in the city’s rich musical scene. Specializing in early jazz and swing, Jake brings his talents to the stage nightly across a diverse range of genres and groups, including acts such as Rent Party, Blue Dot Swing, Rat Darlin’, Rico Rico, Pendulum Hearts, Austin Django Project and Blue Squeeze Box, as well as captivating audiences as a solo artist. In addition to performing, Jake is a dedicated educator who teaches both privately and at the Music Academy of Austin.

A son of Austin, James Moritz returned home to pursue his passion of music and has since made a name for himself in the local music scene as a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist. Not shy from laying it all out on the table, the songs are stories inspired by a past full of love, heartbreak, struggles and triumphs, and an unyielding hope for tomorrow.

Deer Fellow is an indie pop/folk duo with “comforting yet bold musicality.” Based out of Austin, bandmates Matt Salois (vocals, guitar) and Alyssa Kelly (vocals, violin, keys) have built a cross-genre sound that “stirs hearts with each carefully crafted note.” The two's intricate vocal harmonies and unique guitar-violin blends have earned them Official SXSW status, a Sonic Guild grant and features in Earmilk, Austin-American Statesman and KUTX.
