Dennis Callaghan
Dennis Callaghan is a genre mixing guitarist and songwriter combining country, rock, folk, bluegrass and blues. He has been playing music with Marty Drake since the 1990s. In the 80s he was with the post punk band No King in NYC. His latest release is "Hits and Near Misses" recorded with Michele Callaghan.
Eyerolls
The sounds made by Mx. Zoe! Eyerolls have been described as "super adventurous – you just may end up down some paths that aren’t quite as comfortable as you’d hope" (Tabs Out) and "either an excellent set of art slices or an annoying noise that demands you turn it off" (THE ORGAN). They can't both be wrong!

Boy Meets Pearl
Boy Meets Pearl play a wide variety of strange and beautiful instruments – accordion, autoharp, bari sax, banjo, cajon, Chapman Stick and glockenspiel and create dreamy ditties that are both worldly and whimsical. They describe their music as "carousel punk". They are two-thirds queer, one-third ally.
