UNMARKED GRAVE

Lorraine Stevenson

Lorraine Stevenson is a 76-year-old inspirational Christian artist based in Nashville. A six-time cancer survivor, she has turned profound personal trials into a powerful music ministry devoted to sharing hope, faith, and encouragement through song.

 

Originally from Illinois, Lorraine moved to Nashville in 1979 to pursue her lifelong passion for music. In 1980, she was diagnosed three times with breast cancer and given no life expectancy. Cancer returned in 2000 in her left lung and again in 2005 with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and colon cancer. Despite these devastating diagnoses, her faith carried her through each battle, strengthening her resolve to inspire others.

 

Lorraine performs twice weekly on In Your Corner with Kerry and Latrelle Pharr. Her song Unmarked Grave received Gold and Platinum recognition from Frans Meritz Airplay Express International. She has been nominated for honours including the Inspirational Film Awards, the Mississippi Music Foundation Song of the Year, and four nominations from the Music Star Awards.

 

Recording with Grace Records Nashville LLC and affiliated with Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI), Lorraine recently released That Is Why My Saviour Died, written during her first cancer battle. Her mission is simple: to put smiles on faces and instil hope where it is needed most.

SAY GOODBYE

Highway 95

 

In the heart of Karratha, Western Australia, a unique musical force is winning over audiences across the Pilbara. Highway 95 is an acoustic/rock country duo whose heartfelt performances, authentic storytelling, and passion for original music have made them a standout act since forming in January 2023.  

 

The duo unites two seasoned musicians with decades of experience. On guitar is Bob Derschow, a proud Traditional Owner from the Pilbara, whose intricate, soulful playing reflects both his heritage and his deep connection to the region. Alongside him is vocalist Nicole Bylund, whose stunning, expressive voice has been shaped by years of performing across multiple bands. Together, their chemistry creates a powerful musical synergy that captivates listeners from the first note.  

 

Highway 95 delivers a modern country sound infused with a rock edge, blending Bob’s dynamic guitar work with Nicole’s emotive vocals. Their performances are marked by passion, precision, and genuine connection, whether they’re playing an intimate local venue or lighting up a major Pilbara event. Every lyric and melody resonates with their audience, showcasing their commitment to music that speaks from the heart.  

 

As dedicated songwriters, Highway 95 continue to craft original music inspired by the landscapes, stories, and lived experiences of the Pilbara. Their growing collection of releases has strengthened their presence in the Australian country music scene, with more music on the horizon. 

 

Their latest single, “Say Goodbye,” is a deeply emotional ballad capturing the moment you recognise something has ended and the only way forward is to let go. With raw, relatable lyrics and a stirring melody, the song guides listeners through heartbreak toward acceptance, reflecting the quiet strength found in moving on.

FYC GRAMMY® 2026 for Negritude: the Names They Tried to Silence

-Album & Artwork

---------

Receiving a “For Your Consideration” (FYC) nod for the GRAMMY® Awards is a meaningful milestone for any artist, and for me, it's an honor that reflects the heart, soul, and countless hours poured into the making of this album. This recognition by my peers in the Recording Academy affirms the creative vision and the message behind my musical craft, and it opens the door for the work to resonate on a broader scale. While an FYC mention is not a nomination, it places the album on the radar of some of the most influential voices in the music industry— that's both humbling and empowering. It’s a testament to the journey, the artistry, and the community that made this project possible.

This Spoken Word album is rooted in truth, vulnerability, and the power to voice through the ancestors. This recognition is a signal that the message, emotion, and intention behind each piece is resonating beyond the page and the mic. This FYC places the work among the conversations of GRAMMY® voters, shining a light on a project crafted with purpose and passion. It’s a moment of validation, not just for myself as an artist, but for the stories, experiences, and communities that shaped this album.

This project is a tribute to Black identity, resilience, and cultural memory; rooted in the legacy of the original 1930s Négritude as both a literary movement and a living, breathing affirmation of self. This moment is not just about accolades; it’s about amplifying a body of work born from history, heart, and the urgency of now. The music production accentuates a dynamic force rooted in heritage, purpose, and resilience. 

As a multi-talented professional, the overall self-production brings together the strength of my authentic works, the discipline of a business leader, the creative soul of an artist, and a community builder.


“Negritude is not just in the richness of my skin, but also, in the depth of my spirit, the legacy I carry and the purpose I walk in every single day. I wear many hats, not out of necessity, but out of compassion, passion and pride.”


The “album artwork” is a fusion of Negritude, Pan-Africanism and the immigrant experience; a collaborative work by myself and Small Biz visionary Nickii B.

Core Visuals:- the torn parchment wall symbolizes the suppressed history-cracked but not destroyed. The “faded names” are etched, and engraved (though ghostly) across the background; names of the historical giants as included in the album, such as Sojourner, Toussaint L’overtore, Malcolm X, Maya Angelou, etc, and are translated to an Arabic-like language (so as not to interfere with the Distributor’s requirements of album, label and musician’s name). Myself is silhouetted bold and unshaken, with a focus on my lips, as if ready to immediately testify and prophesy on the contents of Negritude's production. My hair is symbolically traditional dreadlocks, fully haloed by fire, emitting smoke, glowing embers; symbolizing memory, spirit and resistance.

Color Scheme:- I chose deep earth tones: burnt sienna, ochre, charcoal black and gold. The accents of crimson for bloodline and sacrifice. The white glowing script for the names etched on both sides signifies the emergence from silence. The Pan-African colors feature red, black, and green colors. These colors are symbolic representations within the Pan-African movement.
-Red represents the blood that unites all people of African descent and the bloodshed during the struggle for liberation
-Black symbolizes the African people and their existence as a nation
-Green represents the abundant natural wealth of Africa, the Motherland, and also signifies hope and youth

These colors were popularized by Marcus Garvey in 1920 and have become a powerful symbol of Black liberation and Pan-African solidarity. Marcus Garvey is featured within the production of the album, and is a national treasure of my birth-land, Jamaica.

Typography:- the word Negritude is in bold serif, a hand-chiseled font that represents timeless, Pan-African in essence. “The names they tried to silence” is in a distressed, faded typewriter style-giving it a “suppressed text” look.

Symbolic Additions:- My earrings are made of kente cloth texture labeled Adinkra symbols embedded subtly in the design.

This project was created for those who need to hear themselves in the struggle — who find power in rhythm, truth in verse, and freedom in language. It’s for those who refuse to forget, and who are still dreaming of a world that doesn’t ask them to shrink, to hide, or to be silent.

________________

The production is spoken, raw, and rooted in the language of resistance. Each track is a meditation and a declaration. The works are not only to honor the ancestral legacy, but to remind us that their fight is not finished. The systems they resisted — racism, colonialism, white supremacy, cultural assimilation   still shape the world we live in. This project is also a continuation: a bridge between past and present, between poetry and politics, between memory and movement. 

The foundational music production works made possible by the overzealous intricate details of Grammy-nominated 10x Platinum, 10x Billboard Producer, JonFX

Be sure to checkout the newly released Negritude book as well. 

Because this album is, at its core, a voice too loud to colonize.

Solo Noi




Solo Noi have great fun exploring the music scene in Brixton London in the 70s. A world of housing co ops and bohemian artists with the soundtrack of Bob Marley, Judas Priest and The Upsetters all ringing through the streets and in the clubs. They mix in the reggae style of French reggae star Yaniss Odua with relentless London energy of The Clash and the Lyrical twists of Ian Drury and the Blockheads.  Out comes a a unique take on pop reggae for the 2020s. It's magic and uplifting and will make you smile, however you think about contemporary life. The Au Contraire EP sparkles with ideas and hooks to keep listeners wishing for a better better life... and it won't be on Mars!

Solo Noi started in 2016 as a songwriting partnership aiming at the jazz/ blues soft rock arena. They are John Fitz (vocals bass and guitars), Robert S Smith (vocals and keyboards) Sten Stenapo (Drums) and Ollie Davies (Guitar).  John and Robert have been around the block a few times and have a vast experience from playing gigs in London's hot spots  (Ronnie Scotts/ Imperial college/ the Roundhouse etc) and recording at Maison Rouge and The Town House. Both achieve success with releases during the 80s and 90s.  They now draw on this world of expereince to create soft rock/ bluesy/ jazzy radio friendly songs.  Their release from 2024, Dreaming of America has climmed to over 300000 streams and each release now has a dedicated fan base wiating to here the next track from the eclectic Solo Noi.

They embark on a festivals Uk tour in 2026 which will certainly feature this new release.  Think Bob marley meets the Clash and you're getting near to the great sound they create from the traditional approach of vocal hamonies, soft accessible melodies, intelligent fun lyrics and a line up of guitar drums keyboards brass and guitar.

Biscay

Biscay comprise 4 jazz/funk/prog instrumentalists who write songs about the human condition set to a dizzying range of genres. Using a range of vocalists (chosen to suit each song), this is a deliberately diverse formula. It’s a formula which seems to work given Biscay are 2-time winners of the UK Songwriting Competition (amongst others – see Awards page on our website https://biscay.co.uk/awards/). We have released 4 new songs as singles since October 2024 into 2025 and Fly Far is our 5th such release, with 4 more due over the remainder of '25 into '26.

Biscay’s first EP release was ‘Burnt Mementos‘ in April 2017, followed by a second EP ‘Stare At The Sun’ in March 2020. Through the pandemic lockdowns a further 5 singles were released. All are availabile on Spotify and all other main streaming platforms.

 Fly Far is Biscay’s re-expression of Richard Bach’s seminal novella ‘Jonathan Livingston Seagull’, which was first published 55 years ago on September 1st 2025. Picking up its themes of personal freedom and self-expression via the metaphor of flight, the song encourages us to reject herd mentality/conformity and explore your own potential. The central dilemma of being an outsider whilst finding your true self is reflected in the melancholy minor verse and an uplifting major chorus. It features the fabulous Sophia Pozzobon on vocals.

You can find it as a WAV or MP3 on Dropbox. Here are the links:

Fly Far – lyrics

All alone horizon wide, on the air you gently glide

Distant calls bid you return, you think they will never learn

They live life in monochrome, can’t conceive of being alone

Fervently they fit the norm, cheerlessly they all conform

 

Fly out fly straight, life can’t wait

Fly sure fly true, out to the blue

Fly as far as your north star

Fly far fly fast, fly from your past

Fly at long last

 

You take off into the night, let the rest swarm to the light

Not sure what they follow for, separating you seek more

Repeat chorus
