ELLI PERRY BIO Elli Perry began her career as a performing singer, songwriter, guitarist, and producer at age twelve, by sneaking onto barroom stages around her native state of Georgia. During the subsequent twenty years, she independently released multiple albums of original material, designed and co-directed award-winning music videos, wrote charting songs for other artists, was awarded several artists development grants, maintained the responsibilities of manager, booking agent, and publicist, and toured aggressively across the United States, Canada, and Europe. On stage, she may be a melancholy mesmerist, a ballsy chanteuse, or a howling one woman vocal wrecking crew- sometimes all in the same note. On record, she has amassed a body of work that seems to defy genre- shifting from Southern Gothic blues and folk, to experimental alternative rock and roll. The thread of continuity throughout these stylistic twists and turns is the power of her live performance. Hers is a raw and arresting presence; whether alone with her guitar or as the front woman of a band, performed on theatre stages or busking on street corners and in train stations. Elli took a protracted break from performing after a traumatic spinal injury damaged her voice. She recently completed work on a new record written during the years she spent off the road recovering her voice and mobility, the first single from which will be released in June 2025. Anders Thomsen Singer, Songwriter, Guitar Slinger Purveyor of quality honky-tonk, blues, country and roots rock. Anders Thomsen writes classic-inspired honkytonk songs and performs them with primal rock and roll energy. He is renowned for his multi-genre guitar fireworks and marathon performances. He has recorded and released new original music in each year since 2022. The Anders Thomsen Trio play regularly in Coastal Georgia/S Carolina and get out on the interstate to play regionally a little bit, too. Anders started playing boogie and blues in bars in Michigan in 1984 and has since lived in and played in (bars in) New York City and Nashville, TN. He now calls Savannah, GA home. He was a member of the ‘90’s alt-country band The Ex-Husbands and has had his songs covered by Robby White and by The Waymores. FAUVELY BIO Sophie Brochu is the artist behind Fauvely, a bedroom pop project that originated in Chicago in 2016. Over the years, Fauvely's distinctively dreamy sound and self-effacing charm have garnered praise from Rolling Stone France, The Chicago Tribune, Impose, and FLOOD magazine, while earning opening spots for Beach Bunny, Ultimate Painting, Hand Habits, Stella Donnelly, Say Sue Me, and more. In 2023, Brochu released Alligator Rodeo, a 4-track EP that explores themes of instinct, the wild, and belonging.
