Bathe Alone w/ Hex Files, Hannah Hatch

Bathe Alone is the dream pop moniker of multi-instrumentalist Bailey Crone. Taking shape in Atlanta, her haunting approach to songwriting and delicate vocal deliveries often draw comparisons to Beach House, Mitski, and The xx. Carving her way into the Peach State’s indie scene as a teenager, Crone picked up drums, guitar, and bass early on — eventually discovering a distinct identity and connection to each instrument. With a drumming vocabulary more akin to the punk world and ambient guitar drenched in delay, the foundations for Bathe Alone were starting to crystallize. After tinkering and fine tuning her sound even further, Crone enlisted the help of producer Damon Moon, who immediately recognized an untapped potential in the project. Within months they completed what would become Bathe Alone’s 2021 debut LP, Last Looks. Their double EP, Fall With The Lights Down, followed in 2023 via Nettwerk Music Group — leading to tour dates with Beabadoobee, Vacations, Last Dinosaurs, and Bombay Bicycle Club. The band’s new album, I Don’t Do Humidity, hit shelves in June of 2024 — receiving praise from outlets like SPIN Magazine, Paste, and Under The Radar (along with notable fellow musicians John Mayer and Sharon Van Etten). A captivating collection of songs unpacking Crone’s recent divorce, it’s the most raw, experimental, and personal project of her career, bound to resonate with anyone who has experienced daunting betrayal and found a way to rebuild.

Madisinn, Lady Die

Madisinn Madisinn is the solo project of Texas-born, NC native singer-songwriter Madison Grifaldo. Madisinn always dreamed of a world full of rich harmonies & whimsical instrumentation, so she created it. Her music has been described as “nurtured in a world closely occupied by beautiful voices” & “lavender and velvet lullaby voice.” She however describes it as a mixture of everything she loves and feels. Madisinn draws her vocal influences from her classical upbringing in music to her love for great American songwriting ( Judee Sill, Janis Ian, Leonard Cohen, Joan Baez, etc). Madisinn’s first studio EP “The Sun on My Skin” was recorded by artist Samuel Beasley at RFG Studio in Boone, NC. In the past year Madisinn released two singles “Bad Again” and “Go Away” which were both produced by Max Agee in Wilmington, NC at Suck Rock Records. Currently, Madisinn is working on all new material and plans to begin recording her second EP this summer. Instagram / Spotify Lady Die Based in the coastal town of Wilmington, NC, the alternative indie group Lady Die has been making their mark on the North Carolina music scene within just a year of playing together, opening up for acts like the Nebraska trio The Wildwoods, Scout Gillett of Captured Tracks Records, and Hiding Places of Asheville, NC. Fronted by singer-songwriter Julia Rothenberger, the group crafts lyric-centered and melody-driven songs inspired by the artistry of Bon Iver, Big Thief and The Japanese House Infusing vocoders and vocal effects into their live shows. Their debut single ‘Someone New’ released in March of 2023, was mastered by award-winning engineer Darcy Proper of Valhalla Studios. Wilmington-based music blog, the Port City Experiment, states that ‘Someone New’ is a beautifully vulnerable reflection of how we deliver ourselves from the bitter weight of despair felt in response to the loss of something once held dear. The band is riding on the cusp of their second single release, ‘Feel Differently’, which was recorded at Gat3 Studios in Charlotte where guitarist Logan Strahley is an audio engineer. The band’s upcoming EP is inspired by life’s mundane moments, growing into adulthood, and feeling sorry. Instagram / Spotify 723 Instagram / Spotify
