About the artists:
Paul Spring (instagram) (website) is a songwriter and guitarist based in New York City. He has released 7 albums in the last 5 years ranging from classical and folk to electronic. In 2021 he released J.S. Bach 12 String Transcriptions, supporting it with a 2 year long weekly residency in Manhattan’s Burp Castle. Between 2023’s Always Almost Home “meshing 90s pop and Bach” (MPR) and the “hidden pop gem” (Irish Times) of 2022ʼs Thunderhead, Spring experimented with minimal electronic production and folk. Aquarium Drunkard called his album, 2024’s River Flows Two Ways, “a singular fresh offering as well as a catalogue introduction of sorts.” It accompanied a canoe tour down the Hudson River. In 2024 and 2025 he recorded Kind of Heaven and Dumb and Free with drummer and co-producer Jon Nellen. In the summer of 2025, Paul put out an album of original music entirely in Classical Latin entitled Vita Brevis. He has also appeared as a session guitarist and co-writer on Blackthought and El Michels Affair’s Glorious Game, and his guitar playing was sampled on releases by Kenny Beats, Vic Mensa, Sofia Valdez, and Kirby.

Kendra McKinley makes music that shimmers at the edges—rhythmic, full-body fever dreams marbled in incense smoke. She’s a shapeshifter with a looping pedal, a gimlet eye and a poet’s ear, threading humor and sensuality through her lyrical backflips. The effect is all groove and grace, pleasure and precision. Imagine the grounded sophistication of Feist with the soulful, genre-fluidity of Moses Sumney. From recording in the Redwoods to performing at the Guggenheim, to writing in and around her Hudson Valley home, McKinley makes music destined to be known by heart.Kendra McKinley makes music that shimmers at the edges—rhythmic, full-body fever dreams marbled in incense smoke.
