Now as a solo artist she is creating her own brand of genre bending art-pop and will be releasing her debut EP in Spring of 2026.

Drew de Man has been making music since the early 2000s, when he began releasing records and touring as No River City--sometimes a duo, sometimes a full band--garnering fans across the country. He moved to Portland in 2010 where he studied music at Marylhurst and PCC, and played in bands like Fast Rattler, On The Stairs, Jenn Rawling and with Brianna McGeehan as Pretend Sweethearts. He has shared the stage with Calexico, Richard Buckner, Bill Callahan and Rising Appalachia.

De Man now lives in on a farm in his home state of Georgia with Brianna and their two kids, and engages in community organizing for environmental justice and antifascism.

Darka Dusty is a lifelong musician and vocalist living in Portland, Oregon. Known for her big voice, Darka likes to genre-hop from bluesto jazz to country and everything in between. Originally born in Detroit, Mich., Darka spent many years in New York City and a few in London. In her early musical life, Darka was one half of the very popular NYC-based Ukrainian music duo Darka & Slavko, traveling to Europe several times and winning Best International Band honors at the first non-Soviet Ukrainian pop music festival. Darka is mostly known for her solo performances but often sings and plays keys and accordion in several Portland bands, including The Vulva Underground (an all-female musical collective), Mammoth in Space (her experimental group with her partner Miri Stebivka), and the international band The Borscht Beatniks, among many others
