DIRTY MAE
Dirty Mae, the indie folk sensation born and bred in NYC, weaves a musical tapestry blending bluegrass, blues, rock, Latin, and Americana roots. Within three years, they outgrew Harlem, headlining iconic venues like Lucille's at BB Kings and (le) poisson rouge. The trio, co-founded by Cassie Fireman, Robin Frost, and Ben Curtis, infuses their performances with theatrical flair, making each show an engaging experience.
From their hit single "Big Red" to the upcoming album "Grits & Gravy," Dirty Mae's genre-bending magic captivates audiences nationwide. Their dynamic sound, featuring banjo, harmonica, guitar, and more, defies genre categorization—call it "New Orleans Ghost Folk," "indie folk," or "Americana," it's a musical journey that keeps you swinging.
Recently rocking local haunts in the Hudson Valley like Colony & Amanda Palmer’s, Graveside Variety, Dirty Mae's playful yet powerful presence is a must-see. As one fan puts it, "I’ve been going to festivals for 30 years, and Dirty Mae is one of the best groups I’ve ever seen." (M. Cachionne)
MADDY WALSH & THE BLINDSPOTS
Maddy Walsh & The Blind Spots is a tenured, original, six-piece "Moxy Rock" band (their own punchy brand of danceable indie pop-rock), steered by the soaring vocals of magnetic songstress and force of nature Maddy Walsh. The band is known for its sparkly aesthetic, from Walsh's signature sequins and white go-go boots to The Blind Spots' Thrift Shop, a big rack of wild re-purposed / secondhand clothing with the band's logo printed on to their collection of music videos created to accompany songs on all four studio albums.
MW&TBS has shared festival and event bills with the likes of Lake Street Dive, Silversun Pickups, Taj Mahal, Danielle Ponder, Sarah Shook & The Disarmers, Valerie June, Rubblebucket, Jukebox the Ghost, Amy Helm, Donna the Buffalo, Sharon Jones (rest her soul), The Punch Brothers, Steve Earle, Anders Osborne, Blues Traveler, Eddie Money, and Rusted Root, among others, and with the recent addition of two new, very talented musicians, they continue to show exponential growth, as they expand their touring radius, gaining new fans and momentum with each electrifying live performance.
