Early Worm is a four-piece alternative-folk group from New York City. Their sound melds poetic, narrative songwriting with lush arrangements and improvisation. They have been described as “one living breathing organism.”

Matte Blue is an indie/art rock band from Cleveland, Ohio. Spearheaded by the creative partnerships of vocalist Grace Blackford and drummer Jeremy McCabe, the five-piece creates a patient and textural sound that ebbs and flows until flooding the room with feeling.

Zach Angeloni and Dustin Mayle are Northeast Ohio musicians who have teamed up to write and perform original duo material. Their music merges Angeloni’s imagery focused lyrics with Mayle’s personal, journal based style of songwriting. Working together from initial ideas to finished songs, the pair crafts emotive driven songs rooted in everyday life. By blending their individual creative routines into a shared process, Angeloni and Mayle combine two distinct songwriting voices into a natural collaboration.
