Decomposers, Willem Dafoe Fan Club, Swooper Creek, Caro Granner

Erin Paulson and Kenneth Bressler have been playing a unique and affecting blend of folk and ambient music as decomposers since November of 2024. EP’s delicate fingerpicking guitar and poetic, sometimes mournful lyrics form the structures of the songs that are filled out with atmospheric keyboards, field recordings, and sparse percussion by KB.

Willem Dafoe Fan Club is an alternative slowcore trio known for music described as “hypnotic” and “haunting.” The band features Hollis Sparhawk on drums, vocals, and Omnichord; Noah Ruona on guitar and vocals; and Jon Marshall on bass.

Swooper Creek makes music that swoops! We love to create an atmosphere where you can meditate on the beauty of everyday life. At our shows, you’ll hear an electric banjo, bass, and a rotating cast of other instruments. Come swoop with us.

Caro Granner (she/they) is an indie folk musician based in Chicago, IL. Caro draws from a variety of sources to craft a lyrical, nostalgic, and heartfelt sound– from the folk and bluegrass sounds of childhood family road trips, to the wordplay and storytelling of musical theatre, to the humor and melancholy of treasured artists like Samia, Jensen Mcrae, Phoebe Bridgers, Christian Lee Hutson, and Andy Shauf.
