**/Sha Sha**

**Slight Of** is the songwriting project of New York musician Jim Hill. Blending aspects of 70s Glam, 80's New Wave and 90's power pop, Hill crafts stories inspired by the American Rust Belt. Hill has been involved in the larger New York State DIY scene for a number of years, performing with bands such as Cottage Jefferson, Painted Zeros, Bethlehem Steel and Trace Mountains.

**The Meeks** owe their existence to a couple of very friendly plants — Verne (philodendron) and Cleo (succulent), whose presence brightens bandleader Mike Donovan’s window and heart. Donovan, alongside bandmates Ava, Liam, and John, hope to celebrate his plants with songs exploring the difficulty and humor of just trying to be present.

**Smooth McDuck** is Brooklyn-based Chris Barcia’s love letter to indie and alternative rock from the late 90s and early 00s. McDuck’s debut album - Sell Yourself features bedroom pop croons, shoegaze stadium anthems, and even a honky-tonk country number - all of which weave together reflections on queer love, wealth, vulnerability, self-image, and marketing oneself to the masses. McDuck live shows - featuring Barcia (drums, vocals), Jude Coffey (bass, vocals) and Michael Donovan (guitar) - make one think of Gen Z’s answer to Ween.

From the Butter Collective, **Sha Sha** is the creation of Brendan Raimann, John King, Ava Mullen, and newfound bassist Ryan Cox.
