Dylan Patrick Ward is a folk misfit from Vermont's dirty south, known for his sweet voice, big heart and irreverent sense of humor. A tragicomic troubadour of the highest order, DPW's songs chronicle the lives of misfits, outcasts and people on the brink, and have earned him fans across the North East, where he plays extensively in basements, churches, dive bars and everywhere in between. For fans of: John Prine, the Mountain Goats, The Simpsons, Kafka.

Jake McKelvie has traveled the DIY touring circuit in the US and UK for over a decade, carving out a niche for himself as a songwriter and performer. Known for his off-kilter and whimsical "stream of self-consciousness" lyricism and charming stage demeanor, he keeps audiences engaged both as a solo performer or with his newly minted backing band, “the New Old Band". He released his latest LP "A New Kind of Hat" in 2024 and has been touring in support of that since.
