The Bubs are a 10-piece collective of artists, musicians and friends from Burlington, Vermont who serve up a catchy, passionate blend of punk and garage rock. Since they formed in 2018, their fiery, contagious energy and sweaty, unbridled, off-the-rails live shows have captured the hearts and minds of their community. Their music is ferocious yet tender, a crooked vessel for beauty, empowerment, and catharsis.

Princess Kikou is a New Hampshire based World Beat group which draws heavily from Afro-Caribbean influences as well as modern Pop and Roots Rock. Made up of a core of musicians: Jon Tshibambi on Bass, Simon Gray on Guitar, John Meehan the fifth on Saxophone, and Garth Tichy on Drums, Princess Kikou also features a rotating ensemble of guest players. Blending together the Indie-Rock origins of a separate project, Blue Motel, and the globe-spanning influences of each of its members, Princess Kikou creates a unique, danceable sound, full of multi-lingual harmonies and syncopated rhythms.
