Noble Dust “Sweeping instrumentals and profound lyrics” - WBUR / NPR
Noble Dust creates dynamic, lyrically-driven folk pop, blending ethereal vocal harmonies with intricate horn and string melodies. Since the release of their debut album ‘And The Tide Rises’ in 2018 funded by Club Passim’s Iguana Grant, they have shared stages big and small across the country (Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, City Winery Boston MainStage, The Grey Eagle, The Royal Room, Folk Alliance International). They released their second LP ‘A Picture for a Frame’ recorded at Dimension Sound Studios with producer Dan Cardinal (Darlingside, The Ballroom Thieves) in August 2023 to critical acclaim from NPR and Bandcamp among others. The group is a 2023 & 2024 New England Music Award Nominee for Americana Band of the Year, 2023 Falcon Ridge Grassy Hill Emerging Artist and received Club Passim's inaugural Gecko Award for creative narrative works in 2023. The group's latest project 'Both Sides Now' engineered & produced by Devon Dawson (Big Thief, Local Natives) is out on Bridge & Key in 2025
Ellie Barber a.k.a. Ollella’s career as a musician started early, when she sang before she could talk. Trained as a classical cellist since the age of nine, the Seattle indie-folk musician merges her technical string background with authoritative vocals and live-looping. Described as “really outstanding” by NPR Music and “so tastefully done” by Michelle Zauner (Japanese Breakfast), Ollella’s sound is organic with a side of edge, pulling on influences such as Feist, Cat Power, and Sylvan Esso. She is a two-time finalist in the NPR Tiny Desk Contest (2024, 2022), has had music featured in film and TV, and is a frequent collaborator with others. She finds herself drawn to music because it unlocks a particular flavor of humanity – one that fits the type of world she believes in.
Justice Cow is an indie rock band from Providence, RI fronted by Jessica Kion. Her music spans the edges of sparking delicate folk to explosive cathartic rock. Jess’ songs speak to loss and love and always include an invitation to sing along. Justice Cow released “Live at Big Nice Studio” on July 14th. The band is writing and playing extensively through the Fall before heading back to the studio to record their next album. When Jess isn’t on the road, she is heavily involved in the Providence music community mentoring students at New Urban Arts, teaching a songwriting workshop at Brown University, and collaborating with all of your favorite musicians.
