I Just Read About That…

[DID NOT ATTEND: January 28, 2025] Jessica Lea Mayfield / MARGAUX / lowercase roses

I saw Jessica Lea Mayfield in 2018 and really enjoyed her set.   Since then, I have been following her on Instagram and I enjoy her social media presence.  I genuinely have no idea if she has released any new music since 2018 (when I loved her song Sorry is Gone).  Huh, in fact she has not put out any new music since then, although she does have an EP coming out soon.

Looking at her setlist, she played almost the same set as when I saw her in 2018.  With songs mostly from Sorry is Gone and few more songs from her album Make My Head Sing.  I’m sure I would have enjoyed this show, but I wasn’t all that interested in going.

Margaux is yet another new singer going by a mononym.  Margaux Bouchegnies is a singer-songwriter based in Brooklyn, NY.  She is inspired by Motown, Pixies, and Dirty Projectors.

She sings delicately but has an interesting voice and her songs are simple but with cool musical details.  I’m intrigued by her.

lowercase roses is Matt Scheuermann, a Philly songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.  Delivering world-weary lyrics often focusing on love in the face of societal collapse with his pure and piercing tenor, Scheuermann has built an impenetrable discography ever since he donned the Lowercase Roses moniker back in 2015.  His style is acoustic folky.
