3:30pm – PANIK FLOWER

Atmospheric dreamgaze with punch

Through a chain of chance introductions and long-time friendships, PANIK FLOWER materialized within the New York music scene. Mirroring the push and pull of their city’s intensity, the band instinctively began pairing atmospheric dream-pop with a restrained use of well-timed punchiness. Their soundscape of soft harmonies, hard-hitting instrumentals and cutting lyricism evoke the hazy nostalgia of distant memories — ones of love, loss and identity that have captivated audiences from NYC, to the Southeast, and onward.

The majority of the band’s members are native New Yorkers, and PANIK FLOWER’s sound is inherently reflective of the ever-changing city; one that shifts and melds, yet stays rooted in its identity. PANIK FLOWER is made up of co-collaborators Sage Leopold (vocals), Mila Stieglitz-Courtney (guitar/vocals), Jordan Buzzell (guitar), Max Baird (bass) and Marco Starger (drums). With their second EP, ‘rearview’, arriving in early 2025, the band’s strongest work to date sees them marrying a shoegaze sensibility with post-punk undertones, grounded in their ethereal, DIY roots.

4:30pM – Gary’s Dream

Shoegaze family band from Catskill

Gary’s Dream has spent the past few years tending to the earth on a farm in Catskill, NY, while quietly writing their sparkling and hypnotic debut record, “Pretty Blue”. Founded by Vive Tilson (vocals, bass, violin) and Ryan Surrano (guitar), and joined by Wesley Harper (keys) and Shelby Surrano (drums), they consider the album to be a ‘draining of the wound’. It explores real experiences they had during the strange time between post-adolescence and pre-adulthood, with all of its infatuation and heartbreak. The record tells the story of how they each sank to the bottom of it and learned to swim back out again. Vive grew up in NYC, spending her days immersed in the classical music world studying violin and opera, and her nights secretly playing rock shows in Brooklyn’s DIY scene at abandoned lots and makeshift venues. This project is a sonic homage to her roots, enmeshing her delicate vocals and songwriting against Ryan’s sprawling and fuzzy guitar melodies. Ryan too, honed his style in a million bands and as many garages and basements. Their music explores dark and cavernous emotions like investigating sadness and processing anger, longing and disappointment. It speaks to the listener like the current of water; its flow pushes and pulls you to attention.

With influences ranging from Nina Simone and classical choral music to The Smashing Pumpkins, Modest Mouse and Galaxy 500, their sound is a liminal hybrid grounded by strong emotion, like stars crashing into one another.

5:30pm – BETTY

Indie Activistas!

The long-time award-winning Indie Rock trio of sisters Elizabeth and Amy Ziff and their bestie, Alyson Palmer, BETTY, is rapidly approaching legendary status: from their tight harmonies over the upbeat original music they play on cello, guitar, bass and electropop beats; their passionate and often hilarious live shows; and their nonstop equality activism worldwide for almost four decades. Since forming in 1986, the band’s distinctive sound has been heard in concert, on tv (The L Word theme song, Ugly Betty, Encyclopedia & more), in films (the holiday classic Life with Mikey, The Out-of-Towners, & more) and Off-Broadway (the hit musical BETTY Rules, directed by Michael Greif of Dear Evan Hansen and RENT). They perform from cafés to cultural centers, vast festivals to museums. They’ve been regular Holiday Commentators for National Public Radio, appeared on dozens of guest and compilation recordings and have released eleven albums, including their 2025 release, “EAT. ”

When beloved civil rights activist Gloria Steinem witnessed BETTY’s heartfelt passion for equal rights first-hand through their headlining Pride tours across the US, Europe, South America and Africa and work as Arts Envoys for the US State Department in India, the Baltic States, South America and Mexico, she urged them to create The BETTY Effect, an organization to further their non-stop- no-matter-what work on behalf of women, girls, as well as the LGBTQ+ community. Stonewall Ambassadors, BETTY has received numerous arts and humanitarian honors for their lifelong musical mission, including two EMMYs, BMI Career Excellence Awards and the Official State Honor of Buenos Aires. You can hear more of BETTY’s ongoing rock and rollercoaster story on the podcast BETTY: Girlband. @BETTYverse @BETTYverse @BETTYrules @BETTYrules
