“A living, breathing, throat-singing, road-tested, avant-garde, one-man-band who is in a state of perpetual motion… gutsy, fuzzed-out, groove-laden psych rock.” – NPR
“Bluesy guitar riffs, tenacious melodies and a singing voice both weathered and nimble. You don’t need to witness his physics-defying performance to be captivated; the music stands on its own… astonishing.” – WBUR Boston
The Suitcase Junket — the intriguing songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Matt Lorenz — weds the sensibilities of early blues and rock ‘n’ roll, the improvisational spirit of jazz, and his love of Tom Waits to meticulous, cultured songcraft. Dubbed a “master of musical imagination” by NPR’s World Café Live and “astonishing” by WBUR Boston, Lorenz’s weathered, howl-flecked voice was described by Rochester City Newspaper as “a cross between Hound Dog Taylor and a Tuvan throat singer who has swallowed a bird.”
Lorenz has earned snowballing acclaim for his achingly poetic dark folk. A solitary artist with an organic yet ornate vision, his seventh album To Go On is his most acutely profound yet. Created in the wake of losing his sister, singer-songwriter Kate Lorenz, it’s a tender, beautiful, and arrestingly moving record; an internal dialogue and conversation with the departed, enormously resonant to anyone who ever loved anyone.

Ranging from heartbreak pop to cinematic indie rock, Ciarra Fragale’s music has been described as "atmospheric and aspirational, precisely the sort of emotive sensibility we are collectively yearning for." Known for her soaring vocals and live looping arrangements, the Hudson Valley-native and Western MA-based musician often draws comparisons to artists like Kate Bush, Beach Fossils, and The Japanese House.
