Mostly newer artists. Some play traditional folk and bluegrass, some use electronica, others blend genres to make a unique sound.

"Sonia Montez is a singer-songwriter/musician with a resume stretching from Full Force to The Mountain Goats; and whose music has been featured in award winning indie movies and shows like NBC Nightly News w/ Brian Williams. Beginning in New York City's anti-folk open mic scene, Montez has gone onto play songwriter circles with the likes of legendary songwriter Chip Taylor, been part of ensembles like NYC's only female international mariachi, Flor de Toloache, opened sold out shows on tour stops for Matt Nathanson/Jessie Bailyn and Kaki King, and has been on music festivals lineups with The Psychedelic Furs and Patti Smith. Mutual acquaintances, happenstance, and luck brought Sonia to her new band project Sonia Montez & The HSP. The core band, all of whom are accomplished musicians, is comprised of Scott Chasolen (keys/piano), Sean Dixon (drums/percussion), Adam Minkoff (bass/vocals), and Nick Oddy (lead guitar). Most recently, Hong Kong artist Sandy Lam released a Sonia Montez & The HSP cover, AveryJane, in Cantonese, for her latest record "Re:Workz". The song debuted at #7 on Hong Kong's iTunes pop charts."

Indiana-born, everywhere-based singer-songwriter Peter Oren possesses a remarkable singing voice, low and deep and richly textured: as solid as a glacier, as big as a mountain. It rumbles in your conscience, a righteous sound that marks him as an artist for our tumultuous times, when sanity seems absent from popular discussions. The songs on Anthropocene are direct and poetic, outraged and measured, taking in the entire fucked-up world from his fixed point of view. 

Oren attracted the attention of Ken Coomer, the former drummer for Wilco and a producer in Nashville. Together, the duo assembled a backing band featuring some of the city’s finest session musicians, including keyboard player Michael Webb (John Fogerty), singer Maureen Murphy (Zac Brown Band), and guitarists Sam Wilson (Sons of Bill) and Laur Jaomets (Sturgill Simpson). On Anthropocene they provide stately backing for Oren’s songs, with drips of pedal steel and quivers of strings subtly reinforcing his observations about the state of the world.
