  Maya Keren is a Brooklyn-based pianist, vocalist, composer, and songwriter from Philadelphia. They are interested in the process of environing people, voices, instruments, and sounds in ways that invite connection with one’s erotic instinct (to use the language of Audre Lorde), embody compassionate and queer relations with the self and the collective, and destabilize learned systems of domination. Currently Maya is writing songs, loops, and words for their band Careful In The Sun and is enjoying performing songs from their just-released debut album, Blebba Grows.

  Otracami is the project of Brooklyn-based songwriter Camila Ortiz. As Otracami, she leans into storytelling and atmosphere, crafting spiraling narratives that emerge from swamps, dim bedrooms, or the passenger seat of a car. Her debut album, touching the stove coil, is due 2023.

  With a personal practice steeped in meditative and occult interests, Frances Chang’s songs and poems take on an ever-changing experiential quality that combat songcraft’s standard operation as static object. She released an album, support your local nihilist, in 2022. On May 13 at the Owl, she will be performing her songs with support from saxophonist Carolyn Hietter.
