MEET THE ARTISTS:

FEMI:

"With her honest lyrics, FEMI draws you into an intimate world of classic and modern alternative folk. Inspired by artists like Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, and Big Thief, she tells her stories, creating a raw and nostalgic landscape. In her vivid lyrics, she shares her most intimate thoughts, sometimes wrapped in metaphors, and other times as exposed as standing under fluorescent lights."

MJH THOMPSON AND VOLKORKEST

The MJH Thompson Volkorkest is a group of both experienced and inexperienced musicians. Together they perform the songs of MJH Thompson. The group has a more or less fixed lineup, but this sometimes changes. The music ranges from rock, country and techno, to pop and classical, always with a unique twist.

TZARA THE MACHINE AND CAROLINA GEMMELL
 

Up-and-coming singer-songwriters Tzara the Machine and Carolina Gemmell are a duo that bring an unearthly glitch sound to life through completely acoustic means. Together they adapt the sampled and electronically manipulated nature of Tzara the Machine’s music to only two acoustic guitars. From loud and messy guitars to vulnerable meditative minimalistic soundscapes, this duo takes on many nuances. Working within the Art Pop genre, both artists' backgrounds and strong aesthetics make for an eclectic mix of Folk, Free Improvisation, RnB and world music. In a formation as stripped back as it gets, their music invites listeners into an experience that is raw, intimate, and immersive.
