A song about forgiveness, written from the belly of a difficult winter.

Join Maximiano for a raw and honest performance of their original song, "You Have a Heart in Me."

This song was written during a time of painful separation, born from the artist's aspirational need to forgive lost friends and reconcile with deep wounds. Maximiano shares that writing this song was a vital reminder that "forgiveness bleeds," and it requires tending to.

It's a powerful story of resistance, patience, and finding closure not by seeking it, but by embodying the very forgiveness you seek. If you've ever had a connection that feels "half in the bag, half in my head," this song is for you.

Join Lainey Lou for a fun, grounded performance of her original song, "Pull Tab Princess."

This track captures that unique, "on top of the world" feeling you get from a simple, unexpected moment of joy. Lainey Lou shares that the song was inspired by walking into a smoky dive bar in Rudolph, Wisconsin, dressed "to the nines" after a wedding, and discovering the simple fun of playing pull tabs with her family.

It’s a heartfelt and slightly goofy ode to the small-town, corner-bar queen who finds her "lucky seven" in the midst of life's daily grind. It's a reminder that there is beauty and fun in being a total outsider and finding brief, dazzling moments of magic.

Lyric Highlight: "Honey you're my pull tab princess / The nicest thing I've seen."
