Corey Laitman
Corey is one part predictable and two parts mystery. They ride their bike a lot, covet those grueling climbs and quick wind rewards. When they sit down to write a song, their unconscious climbs up and over their inner fortress to sing soft dreams: Sad, tender, euphoric, oceanic, their songs have an intelligence which sober Corey-by-day can often not relate to, at all. These songs are still and small and true, anchoring the heart, bright as a bell in the heart of the weirding world.

Zoe Lemos
Zoe Rinchen Lemos a 16-year-old singer-songwriter-guitarist who has played in bands since she was ten years old is now branching out as a solo artist. Her music is an original blend of Americana and indie pop. Her lyrics tell stories of political oppression and hope, the love and struggles through the eyes of a young queer Tibetan Greek.
Her musical career began accidentally when at the age of nine when she attended pre-teen girls rock camp at The Institute for Musical Arts in Goshen Massachusetts found her tribe and future bandmates. In her spare time, she busks on the streets of Northampton MA raising money for LGBTQ+ Asylum Taskforce which helps people who are LGBT seek asylum from countries where being LGBT is illegal or is very dangerous.
Her band ZoKi Band (@ZoKiband) has opened for Antigone Rising, June Millington, NRBQ and more.
