Stefan Weiner is an NYC-based queer indie folk singer-songwriter. He mixes the immediacy of classic songwriting with the intimacy of a quiet conversation with a friend. He was named a Top Shelf finalist in NPR’s Tiny Desk Contest 2024. In the announcement video, Boygenius's Julien Baker said Stefan’s submission "picked the safe combination in my heart" and Robin Hilton, Sr. Producer at NPR music said, "It all came together perfectly.” Stefan’s work has received critical acclaim in publications like Forbes, The Advocate, American Songwriter, among many others. He has also shared the story of his journey through medical mystery and back to music on various podcasts such as This Is Actually Happening and RISK!
Through his music, Stefan creates space for people to access a deeper vulnerability. He is open and honest about his experiences with chronic pain, love, loss and his queer journey. Audience members often approach Stefan after shows to share stories from their own lives and tell him how much they connected to a certain song or how a lyric brought them to tears. More recently, Stefan has also begun a viral series of bawdy gay folk songs for social media, continuing to put his queerness in the foreground, but now with a little humor too. How Lucky You Are, Stefan’s first full-length album, will be out in May on Better Company Records with singles rolling out through the winter and spring.

Born on the East Coast, and home to the West, Blair Borax’s musical journey began unexpectedly in 2016, when a friend gifted her a cheap guitar. Since then, Borax has become a prolific songwriter, recording artist, and performer, known for her distinctive voice, captivating melodies, and thoughtful songwriting that taps into the heart of being human. Since she quit her day job in 2022, she has released two full length albums and played over 300 shows across the country.
With more sophisticated songwriting, a newfound confidence in fingerpicking guitar, and a move towards dynamic acoustic folk production, her latest record, “Tender Lately” (2024), offers gentle reminders to quiet the inner critic, find joy in the small things, and embrace the precious brevity of our time on Earth.
