Tippy Canoe

On her 2008 debut album, Parasols & Pekingese, Tippy and her backing band The Paddlemen shows off their enchanting mixture of 60’s girl group and classic country sound Her songwriting highlights a variety of influences ranging from 20’s and
30’s acts like The Boswell Sisters and Jack Teagarden, to 50’s and 60’s performers like Brenda Lee and The Chiffons, and catchy post-punk bands like Squeeze and Blondie.

AntonetteG

A vocalist and storyteller since the age of 5, AntonetteG has delved into various musical styles including opera, musicals, rock, classical, country, folk and blues. Though she has been compared to other contemporary indie folk artists such as Neko Case, Penelope Houston and Mazzy Star, Antonette draws from this broad base of influences for a sound both pleasingly familiar yet at once all her own.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
The Degenerettes are a queer art rock power trio from Baltimore, MD. The all-girl group, originally formed in a Baltimore basement in 2005, brings together three magnates of Baltimore’s DIY art and music scenes. Influenced by years on the garage rock, soul, roots, and punk rock scenes along with obsessive movie-watching, The Degenerettes’ bass-driven jangly fuzz guitar sounds combine with Rahne Alexander’s literary, often humorous songwriting, creating multiple narrative universes—from torrid mummy love affairs to teenybopper spies to Baltimore streets. They are the soundtrack of the Velvet Underground and the Runaways on a big gay double date at a midnight movie. In addition to performing in rock clubs, warehouses, and galleries on the East Coast, The Degenerettes collaborate with The Miss America Puppet Show, and are among the subjects of Riot Acts, an indie doc on transgender musicians released in 2009.
Part sixties garage rock, part eighties post-punk, Squaaks churns out catchy rock that recalls Warhol contemporaries T. Rex, The Kinks, and maybe some Beatles for good measure.
Brinson Renda is a video / installation artist, painter, illustrator, editor and curator who is driven by an incredible passion for self-expression through art. Her works are often noted for their deviant style, awkwardness and sarcasm. Brinson utilizes a variety of styles that blends glitchy - choppy video & often found objects to convey the ideology behind her aesthetic. She is currently the Editor of Art Cards (Miami), and has recently moved to Baltimore, MD to pursue a residency at the Creative Alliance. In October, she co-curated The Drift, a multi-casted & meta-physical project based on Guy Debord’s theory of the Dérive, co-located in Tampa, Columbia SC and in Baltimore at The Hexagon.
Formed in Brooklyn in 2008, Near East Family makes collaborative works that explore the intersection of sonic, visual, literary, performing and media arts to create performances, recordings, video, installation and hybrid forms. NEF emerged out of David and Tara Gladdens’ collaborative art practice and is a moniker for projects that often include other artists as extended “family members.”
