Curating diverse soundscapes while staying loyal to deep, resonant bass that keeps the rhythm alive for a multi-faceted world-beat climbing tree. Fusing electronica + organica, thug + tribal, bootyfull + beautiful, throw backs + futuristic, Catnip gwan make the ferals dance it out! Daytime, night time, anytime. There’s a mix for every occasion. 
Elevating the headspace with bits of Medicine Bass, Tribal Trap, Afro Beat, World House, Hip Hop, D&B, Beautiful Breaks and Global Shamanic Sounds, she won’t be boxed into any genre except dopeness.

Catnip has been a dance performer and costume artist for two + decades. Heavily influenced by ten years of Burning Man, she intends to stay weird and humble.

She’s reeeeeeeeal grateful to everyone who’s given her a listen, a hug and a helpful critique along the way.  Looking forward to connecting out in the wild!

Keep those ears attuned and inhale a deep hit of catnippery 🍃 the real gateway herb.

Mihali Savoulidis is the lead singer and guitarist for Vermont rock quartet, Twiddle.  Barely 30 years old, the Jersey native has already drawn crowds at such notable rock shrines as Red Rocks, The Capitol Theatre and Bonnaroo. Twiddle’s fan base is growing rapidly, and Mihali’s signature vocals and guitar work are more than partly responsible for this undeniable momentum. 

Most laud Mihali for his dexterity on guitar, but it’s his lyrics and songwriting capabilities which set his solo act apart. It is the soul of what many hope to find in a solo act.  His mastery of pedals, specifically the repetitive phenomena known as “looping,” beat boxing, and guitar riffs, all prep a multi-textured canvas for song. Mihali’s words are genuine. Shaped by his journey through grief and redemption, he writes songs that serve as a light to many who find themselves lost in their own darkness. 

“I've been struggling for way way too long
It's time for a change I’m ready to move on.
And, yes, I'm scared to right all my wrongs.
But I'll be ok-  I'm stronger than I thought.”
- Lost in the Cold

Inspired by artists including Kurt Cobain, Bradley Nowell and Bob Marley, Mihali’s music carries a passionate intent for good.  During his twelve years with Twiddle, Mihali has shared the stage with members of Phish, Blues Traveler, Big Gigantic, Matisyahu, Nahko and Medicine for the People, Trevor Hall and jammed with his all-time favorite guitar player, Jamaican reggae legend, Ernest Ranglin, just to name a few. Mihali currently resides in the green mountains of Vermont, where he's lived since he met his brothers in Twiddle in 2004. When not on tour he can usually be found writing music in the company and of his pride and joy, his wife, daughter, and three golden retrievers.

"In the space between art and persona there is magic.  Marya Stark lives there. Drawing from influences as diverse as Classical, Broadway, Indie-Pop, Storytelling and Folk, Marya crafts a sound that is wholly original. As a multi-instrumentalist and multi-media enchantress, she creates the way she breathes; without choice or hesitation. She is a carrier of myth, mystery, and medicine songs with which she embarks to create a ceremony of the human condition, taking her audience on lucid journey's through the caverns of the soul. An award winning songwriter and soaring soprano, she is a mentor in the art of voice and archetypal embodiment. She is mused by kindness, nuance, synchronicity and soul remembrance, and is a life-long chaser waterfalls."

My podcast, Fare of the Free Child, airs weekly and centers black and brown people’s voices and experiences in discussions about unconventional parenting, particularly how we facilitate learning. I team up with special-invited co-facilitators to discuss the fears and the fares (costs) of raising liberated children of color in a world that tends to diminish, dehumanize, and disappear them.
