Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey’s Interview with Tola Lamont and Kurt Michael of Coastland Fair

Blending coastal soul with Americana grit, Coastland Fair is the creative union of Tola Lamont and Kurt Michael — two artists whose musical chemistry feels as timeless as the tide. Based on a shared love for organic songwriting and heartfelt storytelling, the duo crafts songs that blur the lines between folk, roots rock, and modern indie pop, wrapped in harmonies that shimmer like sunlight on open water.

Tola Lamont, a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist known for her smoky, expressive tone, brings emotional depth and lyrical honesty to every track. Her writing draws inspiration from the ebb and flow of life by the coast — love, loss, renewal, and the quiet strength found in starting over.

Kurt Michael, a seasoned guitarist, producer, and songwriter, anchors Coastland Fair’s sound with warm vintage tones, intricate arrangements, and a knack for cinematic hooks. With years spent performing and producing across genres, his approach bridges classic craftsmanship with a modern edge that gives the duo’s music its distinctive pulse.

Together, Tola and Kurt create songs that feel both intimate and expansive — the kind of music that belongs on late-night drives, front-porch sunsets, and open highways. Their live performances blend raw emotion with tight musicianship, drawing audiences into a world where melody and meaning meet in perfect balance.

Coastland Fair is more than a name — it’s a reflection of place, heart, and the shared journey of two artists chasing authenticity over perfection. Their upcoming releases promise to further define their unique blend of soul, folk, and modern roots music, inviting listeners to ride the current with them.
