MIDNIGHT SUN
Baltimore, MD
https://8midnightsun8.bandcamp.com/
Midnight Sun, formed in 2019 in Baltimore MD, features vocalist Hanna Olivegren (originally from Sweden), organist Stephen Strohmeier, and Baltimore native Mike Kuhl on drums and percussion. Their music is a blend of spontaneous improvisation, soundscapes both ethereal and subterranean, as well as carefully constructed songs. They have released two EPs as well as a full-length (2022’s Metanoia). They are currently performing shows as well as recording a follow-up to their last release, 2023’s Ghost Songs. Recently they have appeared with Beach House, Lael Neale, Mary Lattimore and Skullcap.
JANEL LEPPIN
Washington, DC
https://janelleppin.bandcamp.com/
A composer and cellist who’s honed a singular synthesis of composition, orchestration and improvisation, Janel Leppin is best known as half of the experimental duo Janel and Anthony, which she co-leads with her husband guitarist Anthony Pirog. The chamber-jazz Ensemble Volcanic Ash materialized after years of incubation on Washington D.C.’s verdant new music, jazz and improvised music scenes. With this release, she steps forward as a bandleader in her own right, delivering a gorgeous debut brimming with singular musicians. The seven-piece group melds an illustrious array of D.C. talent into a glimmering expressive organism that surges, expands, ebbs and dances in multiple directions at once.
