Jack Sloan

Jack Sloan is an indie rock artist based in Brooklyn. Recently transplanted from Nashville, he marries the songwriting sensibilities of Music City with the breakneck pace and dynamism of New York City. His budding catalog draws on a diverse, dramatic set of influences—reviews have placed him in the vein of David Bowie, The Hives, and Jeff Buckley. He has just released a meditative folk EP, Sloanly, and will tour his electrifying live act throughout the Northeast later this summer.

Eisenach

eisenach (all lowercase, pronounced eye-za-nock) is the brainchild and namesake of 24-year-old American-born Jacob Eisenach. It is also the name of a small city in the middle of Germany, where Johann Sebastian Bach was born (Eisenach, Germany. capitalized). Once described as dormpop for being makeshiftly created in a college dorm room, eisenach sounds somewhere between the happier side of early-aughts indie rock (think Vampire Weekend) and the moodier bedroom pop/Logic-Pro-core sounding music of the last decade (think artists whose names end with -o: Clairo, Dayglow, Cuco, Mac Demarco…). Lyrically, eisenach gets nostalgic. In college, about his upbringing in Berlin and Singapore, and now, graduated, living in Brooklyn, he tries not to get teary-eyed about college in California (when will he learn?). This year, he’s teamed up with a few close friends and some jazz school cats (like Alana Amore, check out their stuff) to try his luck with the scene in New York — and to try something new, really new: staying in the present.

Dunton

Dunton is a Nashville-based artist by way of Idaho. He blends melodic storytelling with flavors of indie-folk and alt-rock to create a unique form of Americana music. He has lead guitar credits with Paul McDonald & The Mourning Doves, Sam Outlaw, Ross Cooper, and many others under his belt. His self-titled debut album was produced by Aaron Shafer-Haiss and consists of 8 solely penned tracks that clock in at just over 30 minutes. Aside from Philippe Bronchtein’s ambient pedal steel, Dunton and Shafer-Haiss recorded the entire album themselves at Vacationland Sound in Nashville, TN.

Tommy Economy

In the 8 years he has toured the US as a founding member of the band More Fatter, Tommy Economy has gotten good at a lot of things: sleeping in vans, skipping meals, telling jokes on stage. But the skill he has honed most obsessively this past year is songwriting. His forthcoming LP, ‘Filmmaking,’ is a raw, authentic listen that pulls you in deep. The Brooklyn based songwriter weaves carefully crafted guitar parts and melodies with tender storytelling. In his own words, Economy says, “nothing matters more than the story.”
