Maribyrd
Affectionately called “NJ’s Joni Mitchell,” Maribyrd is a singer‑songwriter born and raised in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in northern New Jersey. Her live shows range from intimate acoustic sets to dynamic full‑band performances, and she plays guitar, mandolin, bass, and brings a strong gift for harmonies.
Described as “ethereal” and “floating,” her vocals have anchored both her own projects and work with other artists. After recording her debut album, Joe’s Basement, in 2002 with top North Jersey musicians, she stepped away from music for years before returning to the studio when the call to sing became too strong to ignore.

His eclectic singer‑songwriter style swerves, soars, and stays anything but predictable. Catch him performing his own original music as well as a wide range of covers, from classic to contemporary, with something for everyone.

Amanda Penecale
American singer‑songwriter, painter, and poet Amanda Penecale creates work rooted in storytelling, memory, and place. Through song and visual art, she explores the rhythms of everyday life with honesty and warmth.
Her voice carries an earthy, intimate quality—weathered by lived experience, yet soft and steady, like stories shared across a kitchen table after dusk. Her creative practice follows curiosity and intuition more than convention, guided by the belief that art can move fluidly between forms.
