Charming Disaster:
Brooklyn-based musical duo Charming Disaster was formed in 2012 by Ellia Bisker and Jeff Morris. Inspired by the gothic humor of Edward Gorey and Tim Burton, the murder ballads of the Americana tradition, and the dramatic flair of the cabaret, they write playfully macabre songs that tell stories about death, crime, myth, magic, folklore, science, and the occult. In their theatrical live performances, they combine vocal harmonies and clever lyrics with ukulele, guitar, and virtuosic foot percussion. Charming Disaster’s music has been featured on the podcast Welcome to Night Vale;, they have opened for legendary cello-rock ensemble Rasputina, goth icon Voltaire, and punk cabaret duo The Dresden Dolls; and their theatrical, entertaining live performances have captivated audiences across the United States. Recent appearances include Joe's Pub at The Public Theater in NYC, Brooklyn’s historic Green-Wood Cemetery, the Rochester Fringe Festival, the Edgar Allan Poe Museum in Richmond, VA, Cleveland's Wizbang Circus Theatre, and the Coney Island Sideshow stage.

Mercury Trio:
Milwaukee’s most haunting piano trio, Mercury Trio is that somewhat rare chamber combination of violin, viola and piano. Bringing music written over the past 200 years back to life (or afterlife!), the trio aims to perform in settings and presentation that are non-traditional, unconventional, and most importantly, accessible. Formed by Erika Guenther, Adam Sterr, and Kate Stocks, the trio centers around a mutual fondness for music that evokes the dark, melancholy, surreal, and whimsically macabre; as well as a desire to cultivate a community of fellow weirdos, art and sub-culture enthusiasts.
