Luella Roche is an 18 year old singer-songwriter and multi instrumentalist born in New York city and raised in Kingston, New York. Luella is making her solo debut with her EP titled “Falling Blue”, which she wrote and recorded when she was 17. Performing at O+ would be Luella’s debut performance of her new EP. Luella has been included and embraced in the Woodstock music community from a young age, having opportunities to play at Levon Helm’s barn since she was 10 years old. She has had the honor to play alongside and record with musicians such as Natalie Merchant, Larry Campbell, Gail Ann Dorsey, Ronnie Spector, Amy Helm, and Marco Benevento, as well as playing live shows throughout the community for the past 8 years with the Rock Academy in Woodstock. At 12 years old Luella auditioned and was selected to perform during Chloe Sevignys New York Fashion week show, as well as multiple other New York and Paris Fashion week performances for Ryan Roche. Growing up in a community with such rich music history, some of Luella’s musical influences include Stevie Nicks, Joni Mitchell, Led Zeppelin, Feist, Neil Young, Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton, George Harrison, Nick Drake and Kate Bush. Music has always been Luella’s most powerful medicine, and her mission as a musician is to create music that can be healing to others.

A southern occultist juxtaposed in the middle of New York City, Breanna Barbara writes songs that make your soul dance, songs that make you question how many lives you’ve led, or if you ever lived at all.

Through her rambling of the earth, she’s traced a map constellated with pins, strings, and patterns. Here’s one that charts St. Augustine to New Orleans, to New York City, knotting the places she has lived and gathered sonic inspiration. Another loops around the kingdoms of Scandinavia then, lower, ties the mountains of Switzerland, through the beaches of Italy, to the monuments of Paris where she sung her songs to foreign followers.

Over here, Nashville is tacked: a keepsake for her first album, ‘Mirage Dreams’, which she recorded with Andrija Tokic (Alabama Shakes), which gained praises from V Magazine (“her smoky quartz voice is one in a million”), Bandcamp (“fans of Chelsea Wolfe and King Dude will find plenty here to love”), and Action Bronson who invited her to perform on his VICE talk show.

The densest fragment of the tapestry, with strands criss-crossing throughout, covers North America, where she toured with trip-hop legend Tricky before recording songs for the his latest record and his label’s first compilation.

If you squint, these motifs might start making sense but don’t be fooled: the full picture is yet to come.

Formed in the Catskill Mountain region of New York by songwriter Jesse Doherty, drummer Samantha Niss, and guitarist Adam Stoutenburgh, Battle Ave are a band that masterfully balance both tumultuous and gentle instrumentation. Their raucous side was showcased on 2011 debut “War Paint”, while a more subdued and contemplative mood was embraced on 2015’s shimmering “Year of Nod”. Now, with “I Saw The Egg”, their first full-length in six years, Battle Ave has found an organic middle ground; the lush textural dynamics of the album’s 11 songs boast a patchwork of angular guitars, gentle synths and loose, driving rhythms. The band, alongside producer Kevin McMahon, find a seemingly infinite variety of ways to enhance, undermine, attack, and support the melodic and emotionally direct songs of the album. This is the sound of Doherty loosening the constraints of a preconceived future, instead embracing the uncertainty of whatever comes next.
