ABOUT THE PERFORMERS

GABRIELLE LEA is an up-and-coming artist from New Jersey. Her unique sound pulls from indie and folk influences, primarily accompanied by a baritone ukulele. Her lyrics aim to create images and tell stories to listeners, and while incredibly personal, they have managed to connect with many.

CAROL LESTER is an award-winning songwriter with music in TV & Film. She’s a former Judge in the IMA’s Independent Music Awards from her days as VP of MaMaPaLooZa Records.

KEITH MONACCHIO: 2022 marked the 30th year of Keithʼs musical journey. Starting in the nineties with The Semibeings (Shimmydisc & C/Z Records) through the 2000ʼs with The Commons. He embarked on a solo career in 2008 and released his first proper solo album, The Long Evening, in 2010. He followed that up with 2012ʼs Tips, Drinks and Gas Money ep. His last long player was in 2016 with the release of, The Dust-Up. Under a Nightlight Sky is a welcome return after a 6-year absence from releasing new music.
