Erisy Watt

LA-based songwriter Erisy Watt creates music that is both rooted and expansive, sparse yet textured. Described by No Depression as “what contemporary folk sounds like at its peak,” she often draws comparisons to ‘60s singer-songwriters yet continues to shake loose the tenets of decade or genre. Her music flows between intimate and unrestrained, weaving storytelling with a sound that moves from earthy to cosmic, contemplative to playful.

Raised in Nashville by way of Portland, Erisy has spent much of the last decade playing shows all over the US and abroad, where her experiences—both onstage and off—have shaped the depth and honesty of her craft. She’s currently on tour in support of her latest album, not either or but everything.

Karl Blau  

Based in Philadelphia, Blau has a legendarily broad résumé. He has worked on 250 albums during the last three decades, his experience ranging from Earth and Microphones to Laura Veirs and Matthew E. White. And his own catalog has forever been that of a polyglot, bending funk and folk and pop and punk into experimental forms with total glee. To call Vultures of Love the culmination of all that is to imply some stopping point, as if this is some destination Blau has now reached. But he moved to Philadelphia in part because he likes to be part of music that is going somewhere, that is seeking some frontier. This is just a particularly compelling step on the path of an under-heralded adventurer, still finding new ways to locate the space between the expected and unexpected.
