Federico Stock is a folk singer-songwriter who grew up in London, while his soul now splits its time between New York and his grandparents’ home in Italy. Blending the retro-folk sounds of Nick Drake with the American tradition that underpins Elliott Smith, his songs pair fingerstyle guitar with lyrics about the balance between melancholy and hope. Solo, this translates to an intimate performance that requires the audience to take a step closer to the stage, while with his band, he allows his teenage alt-rock obsessions shine through the acoustic foundations of his songs. Nora Baier is a singer-songwriter who leans into vulnerability and finds release in melancholy lyrics and melodies. She draws inspiration from a wide range of artists including Hole, The Breeders, Simon & Garfunkel, and Nick Drake, with a sound that ranges from pensive, bittersweet acoustic tracks to lively electric-leading, guttural songs. GC Candy is an alternative rock band that formed 4 years ago in Honolulu, Hawai’i. Their unique sound is the product of lead singer Talia Corcoran’s haunting vocals contrasted with Kyle Capacia’s heavy guitar to create a wall of sound.
