Aaron J. Shay, from Seattle, has banjo-crashing, foot-stomping songs that showcase his lyrical craftsmanship alongside an affinity for literature, science and speculative fiction. In performance, Shay blends traditions from modern indie rock and American folk, interspersed with tales from real life and from imagination.

Bellow Wing, from Bellingham, wielding her accordion, expertly weaves raw emotion with clever poetry that flows perfectly into her signature Eastern European and 80’s pop-inspired, meticulously-calculated melodies. Creating an entire musical experience that might just rip your heart out, but will ever so sweetly, sew it back together.
