Old Flame (1st Place Winners of the May 2018 Valley Music Showcase)
Style/Genre: Indie Rock Hometown: Turners Falls, MA
Song link: https://oldflame.bandcamp.com/

Old Flame formed in the mire of the 2016 presidential election with one unshakable intention: to make
their art as an active form of resistance.This band spins grit, unapologetic politics, and honey-rasp vocals
into a psychedelic-punk-rock nostalgia, whose edge is a howling afterglow of raw blues. They have two
EPs: their debut EP, Wolf in the Heather (2017) and their second, Hush Money (2018) just released.
Old Flame is Emma Ayres, Sam Perry, Ken Birchall & Nate Mondschein.
