Artist "August Greene" found and matched but uses wrong image

Server Version#: 1.24.3.5033
Scanner & Agent: Plex Music

The artist is matched and has the correct description but the image certainly does show none of the artists of the group “August Greene”.

Is it possible that the wrong image is embedded in one or more of the music files? Are there any hidden image files in the folder? MusicBrainz doesn’t have any links for this artist that would have provided this image. I can’t think what else might do this.

So Plex Music grabs artist images from MusicBrainz?
No picture in music folder. Only have their single album and that as cover art, nothing more. Would be interesting to learn where this image is coming from.

As it was explained to me, Plex links directly to MusicBrainz, and MB may have links to other databases (AllMusic, Last.FM, Fanart.tv). MB stores album covers, but not artist images or biographies, so that info comes from one of the other DBs.

I looked at AllMusic and Last.FM, but neither of those has that image associated with August Greene, and Fanart.TV has nothing for August Greene at all. So I don’t know where it’s getting this image.

I wonder if log files would reveal anything. If you run “Refresh metadata” on the album, then gather the log files and attach them here, maybe one of the ninjas (or someone with more experience digging through log files than me) can find a clue.
