Earth Tongues is a New York-based ensemble formed in 2011. The band is dedicated to exploring the scope and scale of experimental improvised music. Consisting of Carlo Costa on percussion, Joe Moffett on trumpet, and Dan Peck on tuba, the trio creates pieces that explore dynamic, textural, and temporal extremes. Their fifth album, Phases, will be released on Neither/Nor Records in late 2025. 

Melissa Hunter Gurney is an educator, conservationist, founder & writer. Her work is advocacy based and explores the connection between nature, art and community. She is co-founder of the Lo—TEK Institute, an agent for nature based education and advocacy that houses the Living Earth Curriculum & Digital Database as well as Black Land Ownership, a grassroots organization put in place to combat systemic oppression around property ownership in the Americas. Both entities work to engage urban youth in nature based initiatives and are working together on an ancestral artist residency in New York State.

Matching technical lyricism with subversive, punk rock bravado queer Brooklyn rapper Chris Conde’s live show tells the story of the rapper’s voyage out of drug addiction and internalized homophobia. It’s a blood-letting ritual punctuated by the Brooklynite’s sex-positive prowess that continues to challenge and inspire his audiences, while dramatically shifting the landscape of indie hip-hop.

PARNHASH - Brooklyn Wildlife founder Chris Carr’s modular synth project.

Marcus Jade Demery is a Guitarist / Vocalist / Photographer / Pastel Artist / Poet/Writer from Indianapolis, Indiana exploring alternative tunings on guitar, Protest Blues / Blues Music, and poetry.
