With respective roots in Minnesota and North Carolina, best friend duo Kelsey Kopecky and Laura Musten both followed their individual heartbeats to Nashville and landed at Belmont University where they first met.  Bouts of laughter and a love for making music quickly forged a friendship that has now framed their melodious partnership as Feather & Belle.

This compelling musical collaboration is not only rooted in deep friendship, but is also characterized by their diverse experiences in the music industry.

Kelsey tours the country writing music, singing and playing keys in indie-rock band of brothers, the Kopecky Family Band.

Laura – established as a recognizable studio and performing violinist in Nashville – plays for artists like Brooke Waggoner, Chris Tomlin, and the Trans Siberian Orchestra.  In addition, she currently tours with global electronic act, Owl City.

After writing songs drenched in lessons from classical music studies that musically agree with the pop sensibilities of Fiest, Andrew Bird, Regina Spektor, or Grizzly Bear, Feather & Belle is now making their debut with an 11 song album in hand, Pockets Run Deep.

This album is in equal parts lovely and haunting, cinematic and thought-provoking, colorful and timeless.  Tuning wine glasses to hover over their haunting ballad for jackals, “Zombie”, Feather & Belle present a battle between good and evil told in a 3 movement orchestral composition laced with whispers and wind-chimes.  Whether it is the retro handclaps in their Motown influenced tune, “Tennessee Baby”,  or lush string orchestration in songs like “Dress”, Pockets Run Deep is truly a visual narrative that showcases the grand nature of these multi-instrumentalist songwriters.

And so the story of best friends turned band begins. The sun is beaming through their windows, and Feather & Belle have a song to sing to the world.  After all, birds of a feather will find a way… to flock together.

On July 20^th, Owl City will make his National Network TV debut when he performs live for the first time EVER on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show.  He’ll be performing his new single “Deer in the Headlights” (check out cool new music video:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtsX8H7xSek) off of his new album All Things Bright and Beautiful, as well as his mega-hit “Fireflies” from his debut album Ocean Eyes.

Fans can watch the landmark performance at Jimmy Kimmel Live for free as this will be part of their outdoor mini-concert series!  All that is required is an RSVP from here: http://www.1iota.com/

And if you can’t make it to the TV debut, there are still more chances to see Owl City in LA: while headlining Club Nokia on July 21^st and at the Fox Theater in Pomona on July 23^rd!

Owl City, aka Adam Young, takes inspiration from Back to the Future’ in the video for his new single “Deer in the Headlights,” which is featured on his latest album All Things Bright and Beautiful.

“It’s a quirky video for a cheeky song that quips, ‘Why are we in love if it’s for all the wrong reasons?’” he tells JSYK. “The song is about fending off the blinding light of superficial fluff relationships and saying, ‘Thanks, but I’d rather be alone and thus avoid a million shallow heartbreaks until I meet the girl of my dreams.’”

In the clip, we see Adam driving the iconic DeLorean and seeing everything from floating jellyfish to a Tyrannosaurus roaming the earth. He stops in a convenience store and sees a sweet baby deer in the aisle, before turning around and locking eyes with a girl at the counter.

The girl, played by singer-songwriter and former tourmate Lights, seems like a dream, and, in fact, she is. In the blink of an eye, she’s gone.

All Things Bright and Beautiful is available in stores and on iTunes now.
