Ben Eshmade has been a vital interface between the listening public and brilliant, sometimes unjustly obscure music for over a decade, combining, courtesy of his Arctic Circle organisation, a widely acknowledged facility for live music promotion and innovatively staged audio-visual events with a bulging portfolio of high-profile radio production, broadcast DJing and label curating projects, along with an ever-burgeoning, critically acclaimed career in arts podcasting.

Moved from New York City to the UK.

Dressner's poignant songs are delivered with such conversational ease, it often seems as if she is reading from an intimate letter or a book, set to music. Her straightforward lyrical style, sharp ear for wordplay and crisp, lilting vocals offer listeners a front-row seat to her stories, as they take shape above the understated music.

Her quirky debut album, "Strangers Who Knew Each Other's Names" (2011) was featured via iTunes. As seen in the reviews, Dressner is making a strong connection with listeners. The collection of 11 original songs at times evokes Bright Eyes, an up-tempo Mazzy Star ‘Fade Into You,’ or Jenny Lewis.
