Josh Ayala and Jordan Renzi

With a sound that weaves elements of folk, Americana and indie soul, the song is a raw, poetic and richly textured journey delivered in Ayala’s lived-in sincerity, soulful grit and a rich, expressive voice that feels both fresh and timeless. The result is music that nods in spirit – not mimicry – to Ray LaMontagne’s introspection, Hozier’s soulfulness and Johnny Cash’s storytelling.

Jordan Renzi is a Cape Cod-based singer-songwriter known for blending high-lonesome folk with contemporary soul, creating a sound that is both raw and tender. Renzi has garnered recognition as a compelling indie-folk artist with poetic lyrics and a “hauntingly beautiful” vocal style. She is set to release her debut album, On Your Side, in early 2026
