Savoir Faire
With a voice straight out of the jazz age, Savoir Faire brings the modern existential crisis into a realm of retro-noir.
Born to an American mother and an Iranian father, Savoir Faire was absorbing the influences of everything from classic 60s rock to Persian pop at an early age. It was during her pre-teen years that she was inspired by the 90s wave of female songwriters to pick up the guitar. Eventually, she studied jazz guitar in college, where she would discover the duets of and . The artistry of both musicians would greatly influence Savoir Faire's approach to both guitar and voice. She would spend years performing as a lounge singer and jazz guitarist before adding the last few ingredients that would form the aesthetic of Savoir Faire: lush and syrupy vocals, biting lyricism, and searing guitar parts that float between the genres of jazz, rock, and chamber pop. The result is a Lynchian rumination on the present in the debut album Hopeless Nostalgic, combining wistful nostalgia and modern rage to answer the question "What if a torch singer had a Riot Grrl heart?"

Victor Infante
Despite the Vanity Fair profiles and the time The New York Times followed him around, his past seems lost in a fog of confusion, obfuscation and outright balderdash. Perhaps it was the much derided Weekly World News report that held the truth: That Victor D. Infante is just a poet, journalist and fiction writer who was born in Pittsburgh, raised in Southern California, educated in England and who currently resides with his wife, Lea, and his pet ferrets, Rocket & Bumble, in Worcester, Massachusetts, which is a much nicer place than you’d expect.
He is currently the features editor for The Worcester Telegram & Gazette and the editor for Worcester Magazine and Worcester Living Magazine. His poems and short stories have appeared in numerous periodicals, websites and anthologies; his first full-length poetry collection, City of Insomnia, was published by Write Bloody Publishing, and he has recently self-released an ebook of essays and ephemera, Feels Like Failure, Every Time.
His most recent book, Suffer For This, is currently available from Moon Tide Press, or wherever you buy books.

Lexi Weege
Lexi Weege is no stranger to the road. The Western Mass-based powerhouse singer/songwriter grew up in a traveling Cabaret troupe, and she’s been on the move ever since. After years of touring and three full-length releases with her band Weege & The Wondertwins, Lexi is releasing her third solo album in 2022. Combining the best of classic country, Motown, and soul, Weege’s original songs are full of spirit.
Whether she’s crooning a heartbroken ballad or belting out the blues, Lexi Weege's dexterous voice is at the heart of it all. Her acrobatic vocals soar high and plunge low, tugging at your heartstrings. Expect to dance, and maybe shed a bittersweet tear, too. Weege is a gifted storyteller.
