Spaces For Two began in 2015 when Bob and David met through a posting on Craigslist. The first record Gone For The Show was met with critical acclaim in early 2017. David and Bob produced a handful of new tunes without drums and this became Believe released in late 2017. David and Bob then decided to release On The Dial in 2018 as a chronology that documented all songs recorded between 2015 and 2018. When playing live Spaces For Two adjusts their set list, arrangements and instrumentation to fit any venue, whether stripped-down with Bob on acoustic guitar and David on vocals and keys, or as a full-on band.

Modern Painters is an autobiographical coming-of-age myth chronicling the Sartrean situation of a present-day American youth. Prodded ever-forward in a world characterized by competing dogmas, nihilist hedonism, and a deconstructionist “unmasking of” a society once steadfast in its ways, Painters is concerned less with the contemporary state of being-in-the-world than with the process of the creative act within it.

Pumpkin Bread, a folk quintet based in Boston, MA, plays original acoustic music that blends influences from traditional folk songs and fiddle tunes with modern sensibilities and intricate arrangements. Pumpkin Bread developed its uncommon sound in kitchen jams, traditional music sessions, and soup nights in the Boston area folk music scene. The band, hailed by The Boston Globe as “pure progressive folk fusion,” released its self-titled debut album in May 2017 in collaboration with Nine Athens Music.

Members of Right on Red have been playing together off-and-on in various incarnations for 25 years. Along the way, members have opened for The Allman Brothers, Levon Helm, and Phil Lesh, played on a Clash tribute album with the likes of Camper Van Beethoven and The Smithereens, and appeared in countless regrettable gigs in between. In this current go-round, the three-piece finds new mojo building and burning the bridges between indie rock, alt-country, and noise.
