Isabel McMurray and Hank Hickson are trying to get Gus Booker’s family to invest in the ranch, but to do so, they’ll have to woo Gus’s father, Daniel. Gus convinces his dad to come by the ranch to see it first-hand, and The Harpoonist & The Axe Murderer’s stomping, heavy-hitting rock track, “Sweat This Pain”, plays as the Booker men arrive to the ranch.

The Song in the Show:
When the Bookers arrive to the ranch, the McMurray gang puts on a rodeo arena show for Daniel to make him see what’s so special about this place. Vandella’s piano and bass driven country-rock track, “Gold”, plays as Valeria barrel races for the crowd, tearing around corners and kicking up dirt.

About the Artist:
Vandella is an indie-rock/soul outfit in the vein of Fleetwood Mac, Alabama Shakes, and Jenny Lewis. Fronted by the dynamic duo of vocalist Tracey Holland and guitarist Chris Tye, the two distinct songwriters tie their complementary signatures together for a sound that feels both exciting yet effortlessly vibey - evocative of that hazy sheen of their native California.
