Singer/songwriter Thomas Dollbaum makes thoughtful indie folk songs, with lyrics that paint scenes that can be bleak, funny, or heart-rending. Dollbaum worked with old friend and collaborator Matthew Seferian on his debut album, recording in a New Orleans hotel turned studio. That album, Wellswood, arrived in May 2022 on the Big Legal Mess label.
Dollbaum grew up in Tampa, Florida, and relocated to New Orleans in 2015 to pursue a master's degree in poetry. While living in New Orleans working as a carpenter, he began writing songs. During the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dollbaum started tracking these songs with Seferian, who served as engineer and also played multiple instruments on the album. These two friends were also joined by vocalist Kate Teague, violinist Mac Folger, lap steel guitarist Bennett Littlejohn, and a host of others for the eight songs that ultimately materialized as Dollbaum's 2022 debut Wellswood.

Alejandro Skalany has been a staple of the New Orleans DIY music scene for almost a decade. Along with kindred spirit Matt Seferian, he’s created a soundtrack for countless breakups and lonely nights with a thoughtful brand of sad rock. Skalany and Seferian started My Father’s Rifle in the early 2010’s, then moved on to work together in Donovan Wolfington, one of the most notable New Orleans indie bands of the new millennium They currently perform together in Pope. Skalany’s solo project, New Holland, runs in a similar vein to his work with Seferian. He sings odd, haunting poems that routinely escape the indie rock algorithm. Skalany remains one of the city’s most original voices, and New Holland is his latest vehicle.
