NYC-based singer-songwriter Dan Saulpaugh defies genre, imbuing his modern folk songs with a deep love of jazz and classical guitar music. Saulpaugh sings about the sublime moments that lurk in the mundane and about finding one’s place in love and the world. His lyrics, like his music, are as complex as they are playful. Dan muses on the understated parts of life that succeed youth’s defining moments. His compositions are reminiscent of Jeff Buckley, Becca Stevens, and Theo Katzman; delicate and precise with a deep sense of group interplay. The effect is emotionally nuanced and totally effortless to listen to.

Elyse Jones empowers communities by singing about the greater human connection. Music is a platform for change, and together we can celebrate peoplehood through song and dance.

Motivated by social justice and inspired by the beauty of nature, her music ranges from upbeat jams to meditative chants.
