SARAH BETHE NELSON: Bay Area singer-songwriter Sarah Bethe Nelson’s multiple albums of balladry and pop chart an emotional wave of the multifarious and sometimes tumultuous changes of the area’s landscape. Her latest is no exception. Enter Mental Picture, a collection of aftershock spectral tunes ghosting in the aura of the recent age spinning out from the contradictions of Nelson's steely reserve and melancholy fragility.

PRUNO TRUMAN: Singer-songwriter Heidi Alexander, you may know from The Sandwitches or Earth Girl Helen Brown, has another project called Pruno Turman. She has released a tape with Empty Cellar Records.

LAURA BOGNER: is a writer and photographer and movement arts teacher living in Joshua Tree California. She grew up in Cincinnati and studied fine art at the University of Cincinnati. In search of excitement she moved to Los Angeles on a whim and worked as a fashion designer and costumer until her passion for yoga and Pilates inspired her to open a beloved yoga studio that served her community for over twenty years.

Her work uses anthropomorphism and satire to create dream-like worlds of fantasy. She finds inspiration from folklore, mythology, and eavesdropping. She has long since given up on trying to make sense of the world we live in and finds that a dry sense of humor goes best with a vivid imagination to navigate through life.
