About this Event

Preston Lydotes: Preston Lydotes is a Boston-born indie-rock troubadour. His latest EP "Stranger At Best", hailed by The Other Side Reviews as “a stunning exercise in emotional alchemy,” has surpassed 275,000 streams on Spotify alone. He is the recipient of the Portsmouth Music Hall Emerging Artist Award and a three-time New England Music Award nominee. Now based in Nashville, Lydotes is finishing his debut album—further establishing himself as a rising voice in modern indie rock & roll.

Clara Kay: After years of fronting rock bands and secretly writing folk songs in her bedroom, Clara Kay has found her voice in the tension between the two. Her music lives in the space where raw feeling meets sharp storytelling. She's consistently been releasing singles since early 2025, including "On Purpose", "Postcard Town", "Long Con", and "Afterlife".

Acelia: Combining the brutal honesty of folk songwriting with the earthy shades of a youth spent in Virginia, Acelia’s songs give order to chaos. The Richmond-based singer weaves songs about heartache, political protest, and the daily agony of growing up, peppering her universally relatable experiences with refreshingly intimate confessions.

Abbi Jean: Abbi Jean is a singer-songwriter who began writing music at 13. Inspired by artists like Phoebe Bridgers, Big Thief, and Stevie Nicks, she released her debut EP Coming Clean before moving to college at JMU, where late-night dorm room writing sessions eventually shaped her debut album, The Aftermath. Rooted in community and connection, Abbi Jean brings a soul-baring honesty to her songwriting, believing that what you create is a direct reflection of who you are.
