Darlingside:
Darlingside, an indie folk quartet formed in 2009 at Williams College, comprises multi-instrumentalists Don Mitchell, Auyon Mukharji, and Harris Paseltiner. Their music is characterized by “exquisitely-arranged, literary-minded, baroque folk-pop,” as noted by NPR. The band’s harmonious sound has drawn comparisons to Crosby, Stills & Nash and Simon & Garfunkel. In 2016, they were honored as “Artist of the Year” by Folk Alliance International. Their live performances are celebrated for their “mesmerizing harmonies and wistful songwriting.”
Frail Talk:
Formed in the foothills of Northern Colorado in early 2020, Al Woodchek and Cor Wright of Frail Talk are creating a blooming universe of squiggly indie music for squiggly people. Like the kind surprise of a backyard garden, their songs spring up from the dirt with folk roots, soft pop colors, and burgeoning lyricism ready to welcome every listener with daydream-love. The future is bright for Frail Talk. It’s all love now.
