Denise Casey is a singer, poet, storyteller, teacher and student raised in Crofton, Maryland and currently living in Vermont. Denise discovered her musical voice late in life after living in Nepal for over two years. To this day she defines the periods of her life as before- and after-Nepal. Integrating back into US culture required more tools to alchemize and express her voice; from here she taught herself to sing and play guitar, study movement, meditation and massage, leading to her current studies in Voice Movement Therapy. However, her drive to write songs from the soul has never ceased and in the Fall of 2019 she set out to record her debut album. Consisting of 9-songs produced by multi-instrumentalist, Danny Joseph – Come Alive by Denise Casey is a retro-folk record for the times, currently set for an independent release on the full moon in August. Available Aug 3 on bandcamp.

Sweet Saro was born at bonfire parties in their hometown of Baltimore City. Named for a British/Appalachian ballad, the band puts traditional Americana songwriting motifs to an ever-changing mix of acoustic and electric instrumentation. Sweet Saro sets dark themes to bright songs, creating simple sounding yet deceptively intricate music about dreams that don’t always come true.
