Kelly Schenk is a singer/songwriter from Portland OR based in Brooklyn NY. Her music fuses folk storytelling, indie-pop sensibilities, and a contemporary touch. Kelly is focused on connection and honesty, curating an intimacy at her shows that allows for introspection and affirmation.

“Seagulls” is a recording project by Kelly Schenk, created in collaboration with producer Sahil Ansari, aiming to capture themes of control, queer acceptance, and making peace with change. Inspired by the natural imagery of Kelly’s Pacific Northwest upbringing, the project embraces an organic and contemporary folk soundscape, brought to life with exceptional local musicians. “Seagulls” was supported by New Music USA’s Creator Fund in 2025.

Elora has turned life into songs, and now she feels better. Native New Yorker, singer-songwriter, and independent producer Elora has been a fixture of the NYC scene since 2021, gracing iconic stages such as Union Pool, TV Eye, and Mercury Lounge. Following the 2025 release of her live-band EP, Command Her, a record that showcased her fearless, entrancing songwriting, Elora’s 2026 feature on the Life Is Strange Reunion soundtrack (Blood Moon) has solidified her as a rising voice in the indie landscape. Currently, Elora is solo-producing her debut LP, A Flower Screams When It Blooms, a project that underscores her commitment to DIY aesthetics and high-impact independent music.

Maya Keren is a songwriter, improviser, and educator based in Brooklyn. They play piano, guitar, and sing. They are interested in music as a way to access the numinous: the feeling of being close to God, tuned into the lower frequencies, following the way. Maya believes creativity is innate spiritual sensitivity and they are curious how to cultivate this in themselves and in others. Maya has been influenced by Black radical feminism, Taoism, and the works of Ursula K. Le Guin. They are also intrigued by the questions posed by being an ambiguously gendered, mixed race Asian American, especially around racial emptiness, passing, nostalgia, mirroring, and myopia.
