Three distinct voices: guitar and cello
driven songs with dark underpinnings and subtle textures.
Mike
Wexler (Brooklyn, I & Ear Records)
Finger-picked guitar stylings coupled with piano drive his beautifully
crafted songs. Floating on top is his captivating, gravelly voice,
adding another texture to the mix. New folk can be dull, but Wexler
keeps it interesting with his gorgeous, mostly finger-picked guitar
stylings, poetic lyrics, and unique vocals…"–

Fern
Knight (Philadelphia, VHF Records)
At the heart of the songs is Margie’s strong voice, cello,
and guitar, leading the tunes with feeling and subtlety. While
in the tradition of electric-trad legends such as Pentangle and
Trees, Fern Knight’s music rings of the intensely personal
and is delivered with crystal clarity. "Fern Knight draws
a slow story, one that makes for an excellent tale that explores
those winding forest paths and the things that lie hidden between
the lines." - Michael Patrick Brady, Brainwashed

Orion
Rigel Dommisse (New Paltz)
A sweet, would-be innocent voice, but for the ominous sense of
foreboding lurking underneath, leads us through songs with lyrics
about broken-hearted tales of death and rebirth, and the beauty
that comes out of chaos. Plucked cello and warm Wurlitzer provide
the blanket on which Orion’s voice is so delicately placed.
Imagine the soundtrack to some sort of macabre ballet scene where
skeletons dance with floral wreaths 'round their skulls under
the full moon and you’ll be getting close.
