BELLA'S BARTOK
“Live your fantasy and embrace the stranger side of life with Bella’s Bartok. A band known for raucous theatrical performances and an outspoken political message of finding hope in a world beset by cruel uncertainty. With utter joy, they seamlessly blend a rich cacophony of sound and soul into their music with influences ranging from Punk to Pop; to System of a Down and Queen. Let your freak flag fly high, fiercely and free, throw your societal inhibitions to the wayside and seek comfort in the warm sonic embrace of Bella’s Bartok. We are the night and you are bound to boogie.”
Floors may be broken but hearts will be mended.

DRIFTWOOD SOLDIER
We call our music 'gutter-folk', a proprietary blend of bittersweet ballads, crooked stories, and thumping blue rants on mandolin, bass guitar, and assorted junk foot-percussion described by Bruce Warren of WXPN as "a bluesy version of Nick Cave with a nod to Tom Waits."The best way to experience that for yourself is listening to our 2019 album Stay Ahead of the Wolf or watching a live version of the opening track 'All My Friends' on NPR Live Sessions. The album was produced with Erin Mckeown, mixed by Grammy winner Ted Hutt (Old Crow Medicine Show, Lucero, Devil Makes Three), and got kind writeups in all sorts of outlets from national (Billboard) to regional (like Red Line Roots in the Northeast).
