Hailing from New Plymouth, New Zealand,  songwriter / producer Jon Darling grew up amidst the sounds of Sound Garden, Bad Religion, Radiohead, and local punk band Sticky Filth.

With influences ranging from expansive electronic music to lo-fi acoustic pop, Darling’s music is an eclectic blend of ambient soundscapes, delicate guitar melodies, and lush vocal harmonies.

In 1998 Jon moved to Brooklyn, NY, to perform on his sister Julia Darling’s promotional tour of her Wind-up Records debut album, ‘Figure 8’. Performing across the U.S., they opened for Squeeze, Crash Test Dummies, and 10,000 Maniacs, to name a few. Darling is also an accomplished sideman, having played guitar and provided background vocals for artists such as Tracy Bonham, Teddy Thompson, Chris Grace, Loudboy and more.

In 2006, Darling founded The Grey Race. With Ethan Eubanks on drums, Jeff Hill on bass, and Darling on vocals and guitar. The trio quickly signed with Unfiltered Records. The band released their debut EP, “Give It Love,” in 2007 and performed as an opening act on Rufus Wainwright‘s European tour. Jon Darling’s 5 song self-titled EP was released in 2015, followed by “Alchemy” in 2021. Stay tuned for his new 2022 tech/house release, “Bully,” on all platforms. Club mixes and extended play in high-quality formats can be found here.

I was born just outside of Philadelphia.  I now live inside Philadelphia. I make recordings by myself and play all the parts.  Sometimes I produce records for other artists:  Katie Frank, Tin Bird Choir, Hezekiah Jones, Psalmships, Cait Black Mike Kinane.  Be good to yourself and I'll try to do the same.  Thanks - kk

David Kolker and his band have been honing a sound and energy at their residency at the Bitter End in Greenwich Village, NYC. They've original music is built on straight-ahead rock and blues—a sound that isn’t tied rigidly to either genre, and consequently bends the unlikeliest ears. Kolker has a markedly individualistic style as a singer, songwriter and as a guitarist. Paul LeFebvre’s pedal steel guitar brings an ethereal twist to this music.  Dimitri Skliar is on guitar and vocals with Nikolaus Schuhbeck and Andrea Monorchio on drums and bass playing with finesse and abandon. David Kolker Band is dynamic and unrestrained onstage.  Recent releases include two new songs recorded at their headquarters in Dumbo, Brooklyn – Let’s Go / Sharp as a Tack
