Daniel./Jeremy Bursich/Jonathan Townes/Tea Wiggs

Daniel. is an up and coming Singer songwriter from Los Angeles, California. His wide range of influences, from Owen and Into It Over It to The Smashing Pumpkins and Rancid, are portrayed in his unique brand of emo acoustic folk. He is currently on a national tour in support of his debut album, Home.

Tea Wiggs is a singer-songwriter from Arcata, California. With two current releases through Fairly Modest Records, her sound is characterized by ukulele ballads drowned in a myriad of ethereal effects and intensely emotional topics reflecting on her own struggle with mental illness. She draws influence from familiar freak folk pioneers such as Paul Baribeau, Kimya Dawson, and Daniel Johnston. She is currently on a national tour in support of her most recent release, Gutter Gums.

Jeremy Bursich is always working on something. With seven self-produced albums under his belt in the last five years and a eighth album in production, he still manages to find time to manage Fairly Modest Records, host open mics, organize and perform in concerts, edit and construct music videos, and wrap his head in plaster of paris for his hellishly playful sculptures. Bursich is not only a prolific presence in the artistic sphere but also a pillar of his local musical community. He has become notorious for his haunting sound and labyrinthine lyrics. Drawing from such experts of raw grit and dry dissent as Neil Young, Tom Waits, and Leonard Cohen, Bursich balances this saw-blade sound with influences from the bittersweet ballads of the likes of Elliott Smith, Spencer Krug, and Bill Callahan. Oscillating from sweet and sour tunes of brutally honest introspection to hard hitting jabs into sociopolitical subjects, Bursich portrays a wide and penetrative range of human experience.

Jonathan Townes is an American composer, guitarist, singer, producer and engineer. He attended Berklee College of Music in 1988, majoring in Jazz composition. While at Berklee, Jonathan began writing jazz tunes. Jonathan’s first professional release was Glossolalia (1996), which featured seven of his songs plus four improvised tracks. The band included keyboardist JohnMedeski (Medeski,Martin &Wood; John Scoeld), bassist Neal Fountain (Jimmy Herring, AlexMachacek), and drummer Jef Sipe (Aquarium Rescue Unit, Jonas Hellborg, Leftover Salmon). After moving to Brooklyn, NY (1998), he began playing occasional gigs in and around New York City. It was around this time he began recording music at Peter Karl Studios which ultimately led to a job there, as a recording, mixing and mastering engineer. He has since produced 7 self-released projects for his Giglaeoplexis record label. Jonathan also played with Ray Greiche (Redshell); producing, mixing and mastering Redshell’s eponymous debut release. The recording of Redshell marked his transition from jazz/improvised music to rock/pop/electronic music, culminating in the the release Lookatchurself ReggieMeasuresworth.
