KINSHIP is the alt-folk recording project of upstate-NY-native-turned-Boston-music-person Steve Kurz. Kinship’s 2024 record, ‘Today and Tomorrow Night’, is about the space between what can and can't be controlled, thinking and overthinking, homes real and imagined. Leaning into home recording as a means to reflect the sonic ethos of a physical space, the groundedness of Kinship’s sound serves as the anchor to the themes of curiosity – equal parts cosmic, introspective, and playful – that emerge in the record’s lyrics. For the summer of 2025, the stars align and Kinship manifests as a four-piece band of longtime musical collaborators, friends, and heroes: Max Morton, Luke Diamond, and Roy “bigroy” Marshall.

BADVRIL (San Fran) - San Francisco based, Badvril, is derived directly from dichotomy. From creating contrast both sonically and aesthetically, the band seeks to generate a persona that is true to the creator, lead singer, and lead guitarist, Becket Schroeder.

Badvril pulls influence from rural upbringings representing their diy spirit while also drawing from city elements in their visual storytelling. Additionally, the band attempts to layer soft hazy vocals with jarring instrumentals to further their juxtaposing ideals.

TANNER YORK - Pop pop pop pop music!

SOPHIA CORINNE - "Sophia Corinne harvests poetry for the lines of each song from her life, one lived paying attention. Her songs are witness to the raw difficulties and layered radiant joys that every heart bears. In both writing and voice, Sophia’s songs offer the companionship of something beautiful for us to hold close in any season. She is currently based in Asheville NC." ~Malena Sweers
