Crystal Gravy is a love-struck duet from DeKalb, Illinois, made up of lifelong musicians, Dave Green and Nikki Rice. They use strong vocal harmonies, along with guitars, piano, and keytar, to construct original songs with biting lyrics and catchy melodies. They like to describe their genre of music as “anthemic duetism.”
Dave and Nikki joined forces in love and song in 2014, after many years of following and admiring the others’ various musical projects. On their first date, they wrote and recorded their first song (“One Round”), which was later released on their 2015 debut E.P., “Night Dinner.” In 2016, they released their first full-length album, “Helicopter to Bang Mansion.” Their music is available to stream or download at CrystalGravy.bandcamp.com.

Kate Wakefield A classically trained opera singer lost her mind, and went off the tracks to create a solo project like you’ve never seen before. Kate Wakefield hooks up her voice, and cello to amps and spins webs of haunting melodies. Based out of Cincinnati, Wakefield has taken her local scene by storm playing city wide events such as “Best of Cincinnati” and “Best new bands” during her first year performing live. A full length album can be found online at katewakefield.bandcamp.com, and videos of live shows can be found on youtube.

Holy Golden is the multifaceted musical world of Leslie Schott and Andrew Valenti. The two met during a lunar eclipse on the island of Martha’s Vineyard and soon began crafting mythological mini-worlds into home-recorded albums, music videos, short films, and photo stories.
Holy Golden’s music blends euphoric dream-pop with lo-fi garage rock to create songs that feel both vulnerable and mysterious. They’ve been likened to The Cranberries, Cocteau Twins, and Dolly Parton backed by the Jesus and Mary Chain. Their creative process is a labyrinthian breadcrumb trail fueled by their deepest sorrows and brightest fantasies, which ultimately leads them towards their imaginative kingdom of sound. They released two full-length albums, several music videos, and a new EP to widespread critical acclaim. They embark on their second US tour in October 2017.
