Shy Husky:
“A distillation of decades’ worth of rock” (Chris Farnsworth, Seven Days).

Simultaneously nostalgic and fresh, Shy Husky’s music serves as an update to the 90’s alt-rock they grew up on. Big, distorted guitars and pounding drums blend seamlessly with modern clean, pop-infused vocals to create a new style that lands at the intersection of emo, pop punk, and modern alt-rock. On their 2023 self-titled EP, produced by Matt Appleton (The Used, Atreyu, The Ataris), they find their sound, creating a solid debut that showcases their precise songwriting while maintaining the edge and energy they bring to their live shows. Based in the Upper Valley of Vermont and New Hampshire, Shy Husky is a staple of their local music scene and has roots growing throughout New England.


Nick Granelle:
Nick Granelle is an indie rock singer, guitarist, and producer, splitting his time between Brooklyn and Vermont. His Zappa inspired solos blend into Strokes influences. From his early 2k upbringing he combines elements of rock, retro-indie and modern prog to create a distinct sound that is freshly nostalgic. His self produced music highlights his ability to pair infectious melodies with pristine auditory production.

Katie Dobbins:
With a mastery of storytelling and the heart of a poet, NH based songwriter Katie Dobbins captures elements of life and relationships in ways that lift the spirit and challenge the soul. Carolyn Kruse of Country 102.5 WKLB raved "Sweet but bold, Katie's voice is reminiscent of one of her heroes, Jewel, but only deeper... a fearless spirit with a gentle touch." Her sophomore album, There Is Light, contains remarkably honest songs that capture seasons of both hardship and joy, but hold onto the hope that light will always illuminate and overpower darkness. Most recently, Dobbins has released a collection of singles including Wild, Just Cause I Can, and Giants, which are available on all streaming services. You can find her performing solo throughout New England or at her original music series, Songwriter RoundUp in Meredith NH, where she performs alongside a rotating cast of singer-songwriters every month.
