Americana singer-songwriter Ryan Holweger relocated to Syracuse in the fall 2019 after nearly
twenty years in Minneapolis. After more than a decade of fronting alt-country bands in the Twin
Cities, Ryan released his first solo record, Gunmetal Sky, in 2018, and over the past several
years has played shows in thirteen states and ten countries spread across three continents. His
EP “Emerado” was nominated for a 2024 SAMMY in the “Best Americana Recording” category,
and his latest album “The Golden Paper Flower” is set for release in March 2025. Holweger’s
newly assembled backing band includes Aaron Bobis (guitar), Blake Probst (bass), Mike Fishman
(drums) and Seth Owen Becker (guitar).

Jack Stinziano is a multi-instrumentalist from Syracuse, NY. He’s known by many creative personas- Matsui, Trainspotting, and Midnight Jack to name a few. By the age of 16 Jack was self producing demo tapes under the name Matsui. 4 years later, he’d come to be one of the most noteable and requested original musicians in the underground Syracuse music scene, opening for punk shows at long standing venues like the Barn and headlining innumerable shows for Syracuse’s own living room folk series by the Candlelight Collective. Jacks music is anything but traditional. It’s raw and transcendental, skillfully walking the thin line between highly personal and universally relatable. Jacks acoustic songs are like water, constantly changing form. He combines a deep and timeless voice with interesting lyrics to pull listeners in. Jack is a family man who loves to cook traditional Roman pastas for his loved ones. An old soul, Jack is one of those guys who can talk to anyone. Currently involved in no less than 3 different musical projects playing guitar in Misty Mountain Midnight, and Nightwork, and drums in Dale, in addition to working on his own original music, in 2025 Jacks music inspired the inception of the Syracuse’s newest record label “Wormland Records”, which will make its debut at the iconic funk and waffles.
