The duo first met at a coffee house open mic in Long Beach, California, where Walker had recently relocated after growing up in North Carolina and Virginia. She quickly fell in love with Igoa\\u2019s voice, knowing that if their vocals and her guitar came together that would only flourish\\u2014and it did, the two now married and having spent more than a decade as a pair. Musically, channeling Walker\\u2019s Southern warmth through Southern California indie shine, Glitterfox carves out lithe, nostalgia-fueled anthems powered by the intimacy of their relationship. \\u201cA lot of our songs are about serious challenges in our lives,\\u201d Walker says. \\u201cAll the struggles in my life get poured into the music, but always with this silver lining of hope, this drive not to quit before the miracle happens. Making a living as an independent musician is hard, but we\\u2019ve always had each other and always made it work.\\u201d

Igoa and Walker quickly found new roots when they moved out of their van and settled down in Portland, Oregon, in 2018, quickly cementing a reputation for their boundless energy and positivity. Soon they were joined by Eric Stalker, a singer-songwriter who got along with the couple so well that he volunteered to learn bass as a way to join their band. Drummer Blaine Heinonen followed, the quartet now capable of producing grander leaps of musical gravity to crash through the couple\\u2019s golden-hued compositions.\\xa0

The group\\u2019s soaring intimacy quickly won over Pacific Northwest fans and heroes in addition to Funk, with Kill Rock Stars label head Slim Moon who jumped at the opportunity to sign them. Despite that rapid growth, the beating heart of Glitterfox will always be Walker and Igoa\\u2019s love. \\u201cHaving a band that\\u2019s built around a healthy marriage is cool because it has longevity.
