Emily Jeanne Brown

Brooklyn-based and California-bred, Emily Jeanne Brown writes "nostalgic and heartfelt [songs]" (NPR Music) about shifting identities and searching for home. After her minimal but visceral 2020 cover of Springsteen’s ‘i’m on fire’ garnered tens of thousands of streams, in 2024 Americana Highways praised her 3-song Nina EP for “music that plays out in the imagination and vocals that sound like a songbird at dawn”. She has since shared stages with Brian Dunne (of Fantastic Cat), Katie Martucci (of The Ladles), Chris Trapper and Hayley Hendrickx. Her debut full-length record, Coaster, produced by Nan Macmillan, will be released July 8th through the Brooklyn-based indie label Sunken Living Room.

Kate Victor

After more than decade of working as a session musician, collaborator, and performer with a variety of NYC-based artists, Kate Victor is stepping into the spotlight with the release of her debut EP - 11 Days Late. A true multi-instrumentalist, Kate brings her innate sensibility as a vocalist to her music, from the melodies she crafts to the worlds she builds around them. Raised on the warm sounds of the music from the 70s, Kate’s songwriting builds on a sense of nostalgia, while drawing on familiar themes of growing pains, heartbreak, and self-exploration.

Laura Fox

Laura Fox writes about love, the lack there of, and the in between. Her songs and her voice are soothing and soulful—if you’ve ever loved someone, you’ll surely connect with her heartfelt lyrics. Laura is the lead singer and songwriter for the 5-piece indie folk/soul band, Foxglove, based in southern Maine. Their debut record Maybe a Daydream will be released in the fall of 2026. She has shared stages with Ryan Montbleau, Marty O’Reilly, and Sierra Ferrell.

Kelsey Wilson

Kelsey is a Seacoast native, having collaborated in different music projects over the years. In the past few years she has departed from a full band format, focusing more on her songwriting, and the desire to perform in a more intimate, intentional way. Drawing heavy inspiration from the likes of songwriters such as Mirah Yom Tov Zietlyn, Judee Sill, Joan Armatrading, Bonnie Raitt and Karen Dalton, she is on a journey to discover and portray her inner voice, and authentically portray and share her emotional perspective with those that listen. 

Tickets are $10 online and $15 at the door day-of.
