Katy Pinke
Katy Pinke’s songs are self-examinations—cerebral and unsparing, but reaching toward a more promising future. The Manhattan-based singer-songwriter, painter, and theater-maker’s nimble soprano evokes the precision, humor, and melancholy of forbearers like The Roches and Connie Converse. Sentences pour across verses, disrupting the symmetry of the expected verse-chorus form. Pinke released her stripped-down debut self-titled album in the spring of 2024, which PopMatters describes as “warm and engaging…somehow dreamlike but rooted in authentic, basic principles of songwriting and performance.” Her live shows have become storied events in the NYC indie scene, sharing the stage with acts like Laura Veirs, Jolie Holland, TV On the Radio’s Kyp Malone, Indigo Sparke, Delicate Steve, Jesse Harris, Trixie Whitley, and Diane Cluck.
Kadesh Flow
Kadesh Flow is a rapper and trombonist who blends hip hop, jazz, and anime references into a sound that’s as bold as it is personal. He’s got serious chops—both musically and academically—with an MBA and a Billboard-charting career to his name. Whether he’s dropping bars about Hunter x Hunter or riffing on stage with his trombone, Kadesh brings a raw, authentic energy that hits hard and stays with you.
Based in Kansas City, he’s performed with legends like Rakim and Janelle Monáe, and collaborated with artists like Jidenna and Tech N9ne. He’s also part of the Nerdy People of Color Collective, pushing for more representation in geek and music spaces. His live shows are electric, his lyrics are thoughtful, and his vibe is all about being unapologetically himself.
