Torso Man with Matty Frank, Marble Berry Seeds, and Mossbody
Torso Man Website / Instagram TORSO MAN is the solo acoustic project of singer-songwriter Danny O’Connell, blending folk-punk grit, alt-country storytelling, and bedroom-pop intimacy. He lives and travels full-time in his van, bringing raw, heartfelt songs to small and not so small rooms across the country. Matty Frank Bandcamp / Instagram Self-taught in almost all of his musical and engineering skills, multi instrumentalist and vocalist Matty Frank combines pop and r&b vocal runs with introspective indie folk rock sound palettes inspired by the genre’s saddest of lesbians. With lyricism at once infinitesimally specific and boundlessly universal, Matty Frank shows that queer people have more to talk about than same sex attraction. Marble Berry Seeds Bandcamp / Instagram Dumpster pop from The Triangle Mossbody Youtube

Matthew Paul Butler Matthew Paul Butler’s music is equal parts delicacy and anarchy — indie neo-folk soul rock — emotional and musical nuance and egress. Sam Thorn Sam Thorn’s music is a time capsule of found objects and spare syllables adrift in a sea of reverb and love – sometimes amplified with drums and an extra helping of guitar.
