About the Artists
Melanie MacLaren’s natural aptitude for nuanced delivery, wistful guitar playing, and her ability to write about life as if life were simply writing itself is everything you could want from a modern folk musician.

Melanie’s lyrics have been described as “haunting yet humorous” and possessing a “sentimental cynicism” that “oozes with Gen-Z relatability.” This duality shines through in all aspects of her music— classic finger-style guitar rests on beds of ethereal, ambient synthesizers, while distorted trad instruments like banjo, bouzouki and fiddle punctuate the compositions, demonstrating a keen artistic ability to combine a unique tongue-in-cheek sensibility with timeless folk style.

Liv Burney

Having spent the last half decade performing with her acclaimed family band, Liv Burney has stepped out as a singular, confident voice in our local music pool. Deftly flipping between gentle melodies and impassioned deliveries, Burney’s hybrid approach to indie rock, folk and country harkens to classic sounds beyond her years.
