Born out of weekly writing sessions during the pandemic, falllift is the collaborative project of Micah Cottingham and William Steven Hall. What began as a creative outlet soon evolved into a full-fledged band grounded in trust, balance, and a shared commitment to growth. Since their debut E.P. Sunday Sessions in 2022, falllift has released several singles, toured nationally and internationally, and earned multiple sync placements. Their music blends introspective storytelling with powerful sonic landscapes, addressing themes from personal growth to social justice. Their upcoming single, All Salt—featuring award-winning poet Bluz—is available everywhere November 2025, with a full-length album in the works. When not making music, falllift is rooted in community, nature, and their beloved dog, Lola.

JOHN BREWSTER
Start time: 08:00 PM
John Brewster is a free-spirited singer-songwriter on a mission to share empowering music, cultivate inner peace, and minimize regrets. Originally from Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, John's musical journey began at age of 5 when he picked up the violin at school. Growing up, sports took up most of his time, and it wasn’t until his grandmother handed him his grandfather's classical guitar in high school that an unexpected newfound passion for songwriting and singing was ignited.
After exploring music at the College of Charleston, Brewster made the decision to hit the road and start an original band with his friends. After a few years of extensive touring, John landed back at his parents' house at the close of 2018. He made ends meet by driving for Uber and eventually took another leap of faith to release his first original song in 2020. In 2021, John relocated to Colorado where he unveiled his debut album, '42°,' captivating listeners with uplifting lyrics, empowering melodies, and smooth and soulful vocals.
Fast forward to 2024, and Brewster has been sharing a series of singles, building anticipation for his eagerly awaited sophomore album.
