BLACK VALENTINE
Four Carbondale based singer songwriters share the stage
in song and conversation about songwriting,
lifestyle and the darker aspects of our biggest heart shaped feelings.
Need to cry? Laugh?
Love yourself a little more?
Come share a Black Valentines Day with other broken hearts.
Carbondale-raised Mugsy Fay is a local activist, aerialist and artist,
combining punk rock roots with hip hop and country flavors
to bring you raw original folk punk banjo songs about love, loss and the devil.
Erin Strawberry is a singer-songwriter and witchy free spirit currently residing in Carbondale.
Her sound is a trailworn blend of poetic folk and gritty lyricism,
effortlessly shifting from hypnotic beauty to haunting tragedy.
Olivia the Bard is a spoon wielding Warrior for the Primordial Mother Power of the Universe.
She and her banjo sisters spin the magic of story and song
to remind us that in our infinite diversity we are all the same.
Lena Maude’s music weaves quiet revelations into unguarded explorations of self.
Her songs are tender, bookish confessions with lyrical depth,
wide ranging vocals, and fingerstyle guitar.
