    Melissa Weikart is a French/American vocalist, pianist, and composer originally from Boston, US, currently based in Strasbourg, FR. Her musical approach is shaped by her passion for experimental vocal harmony and formative training as a classical pianist. Melissa’s Here, There (out on Northern Spy Records, May 27th) features fraught reflections on devotion, obsession, and doubt, delivered naturalistically and matter-of-factly despite the complexity of the musical setting. Weikart keeps this frenetic energy well in hand, grounding her gorgeous and discomfiting songs with refrains with a pop appeal reminiscent of forebearers like Judee Sill and Fiona Apple.

    Carmen Q. Rothwell is an upright bassist, songwriter and improviser living in Brooklyn, NY. With her 2020 solo debut recording, Don’t Get Comfy / Nowhere, Carmen “has created a unique work of art that is relatively experimental in its structure but musically seductive enough to win fans of all stripes” (Popmatters). “The album thrives on the meeting of reservation and vulnerability, and its songs feel as emotional and virtuosic as a power ballad yet are sparse and withholding as a Rembrandt” (Pitchfork). In addition to performing her solo songs regularly around NYC and elsewhere, Carmen is an active bass player in Brooklyn’s jazz/improvised, indie and experimental music scenes. She is one-third of the band Scree.
