Steev Baker (he/him) is a lyric-focused singer/songwriter who performs emotional folk/punk songs with acoustic instruments. He began performing in the Oshkosh music scene in the early 2000s with his band The Inkwell Collective, an 8-piece orchestral indie band that put out two albums and performed in the area for a decade before band members went their separate ways. He recorded with members of Milwaukee instrumental band Canyons of Static and played guitar with Mead Lakes Most Wanted and Blessed Feathers in the mid-2000s. His newest EP, All Joy, was released in 2023. He lives in Madison where he continues to write songs and perform with his backing band, Dirt Sermons (cellist Emily Selk Loper and drummer Derek Freund).
Paul Otteson is a Wisconsin songwriter who delivers literary inspired, artfully crafted songs in an intimate chamber folk style. Front man of the band Faux Fawn, Otteson is a tireless creator; having released several solo and full band albums over the past 10 years to great acclaim. After a multi-year hiatus, he returns with ballads to question the cruelty and loss of this age we live in; with hope-filled melodies to warm the heart and poetic verse to soothe the soul.
Originally trained operatically, avant-pop singer-songwriter Sigra began crafting her signature art pop sound around the age of eighteen. Marked by industrial percussion, stacked harmonies and ethereal synths, and drawing comparisons to Bjork, Kate Bush and Caroline Polachek, she has been called "a genuine goth going simultaneously through a Scandinavian ethereal wave and bedroom pop phase" (Tone Madison).
