Heather Lynn is an artist from the Blue Ridge of Virginia, based in Portland, Maine. Weaving dynamic vocals and fingerstyle guitar, she creates gritty melodies rooted in folk and rock sounds. Her lyrics echo childhood memories and the harsh but beautiful world surrounding. “Narrows”, her debut release, features seven original songs recorded in living rooms across Boston as well as Chillhouse Studios. The tracks move from powerful rock anthems to pining acoustic tunes. Through her music she hopes to peek over the walls growing taller around us all.
"Heather Lynn has a folky style and perfectly executed layered vocals. The perfect soundtrack for woods wandering, lake or ocean side summer mornings, or sunset strolling." - New England Music Collective
Briana Marela is a Peruvian American composer, vocalist, and performing artist based out of Oakland, CA. Using her voice as a focal point, she makes use of visually engaging elements of tech augmented gestures and objects to compose and perform her music live. Her gestural and lyrical song performances draw from elements of both experimental electronic music and vocal driven pop music. Using a visual programming language and machine learning, she is able to make custom tools to create compositions with varying fixed elements that transition into moments of improvisation. She was most recently a spatial sound artist in residence at Audium in San Francisco for their residency New Voices IV, performing her multi-channel piece live every weekend from February to April 2025. She is currently a Montalvo Lucas Arts Music and Composition fellow. She received an MFA in Electronic Music and Recording Media from Mills College in 2020.
Her newest full length release My Inner Rest, is due to be released on June 6th 2025 via AKP Recordings. Marela has self-released past albums, as well as releasing records with Jagjaguwar, Surface World and PIAPTK.
Matthew Thornton makes proggy folk pop using a cello, a looper and a whole lotta hubris. Think Andrew Bird, King Crimson, and Nick Drake all fighting for control of some guy with a cello.
Becca Myari is a singer/songwriter, percussive acoustic guitarist, Irish pennywhistle player, and loop station artist. She does attribute all of her talent, and abilities, to having been raised as traditionally Catholic as her parents understood at the time she was growing up, and because of having been given the subsequent grace from God who was, is, and ever shall be, she was in love with everyone and everything, as she grew from childhood, into adulthood. Her family, and music, holding second and third place, in what she most loved. So she spent hours alone in the woods daily, through her teenaged years, talking with Deum, playing music, listening to music, and being in silence.
