Cuchulain
Cuchulain is a low-voiced songwriter with a wry wit. Featured four years in a row as the NPR Music Tiny Desk Contest "Desk of the Day," the multi-instrumentalist's duets album FEAT was called "an as-yet-unpublished portion of the Great American Songbook." Cuchulain's deep baritone and clever lyrics have drawn comparisons to Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen, and Randy Newman. From the Kennedy Center to the Oregon Country Fair, from Club Passim in Boston to the Cobblestone in Dublin, Cuchulain's lyrics have brought laughs and tears to audiences across the US and beyond. He has shared the stage with renowned folk acts including Ira Wolf, Jeffrey Lewis, Viv & Riley, Billy Keane, Upstate, Julianna Zachariou, Jenner Fox, R.O. Shapiro, and more. His Sing In The Shower single release tour took him to Europe in the summer of 2022, and his nationwide My Dog single release tour criss-crossed the US in summer 2023. His experimental album Minute To Win It - a visual album of 20 songs in 20 minutes - peaked at 20,000 monthly listeners on Spotify; was screened at the Portland Festival of Cinema, Animation, & Technology and Portland Panorama; and won awards at the Oregon Short Film Festival, the San Francisco Arthouse Festival, and Minute Madness Toronto.

Louiston
Louiston is a folk n’ roll band with off-speed pitches from Ithaca and Trumansburg, NY. The moniker of Lou DiPietro’s solo acoustic stuff for forever, Louiston trades in tight, up-tempo songs with three- and four-part harmonies, loads of tasty riffs, and lyrics that soothe and burn when they must. “Tiny Devastations in Granular Living,” out now, is Louiston’s third formal album and the first with this lineup.
