The Empress are creators and nurturers of emotional sounds from Maine's soils, water, sky and stars.

Darksoft is a multi-instrumentalist songwriter and producer who creates dreamy indie rock sounds. Darksoft songs blend dream pop and shoegaze elements, using lush melodic progressions, 80s/90s alternative rock undertones, and deftly executed vocals. Darksoft is a solo recording project often supported by a full band for live shows. Darksoft is based in Portland, Maine.

Five Feet is a five piece band from Manchester NH. They are influenced by artists that utilize soft harmonies and the quieter side of dynamics, like Andy Hull and Fleet Foxes. Ty swears by Ben Folds Five’s drum fills. Christina sings some truly magical harmonies. Joey plays bass and Sam is a magical wizard made out of patience. Other influences include The Cults, Blue Jean Committee, The Beatles, Sparklehorse, and musicals like Next to Normal, and Once, and music in the background of old horror movies and haunted music boxes left in an attic for too long.

TTD is the domestic violence resource center serving victims and survivors of domestic abuse, dating violence, and stalking in Cumberland County, Maine. Our original name was Family Crisis Shelter. Emergency shelters were our most critical service in those days as there were few other options for people.

TTD creates innovative responses and mobilizes our community to promote safety and challenge systems of oppression and violence. We envision a world where all people are safe, respected, and supported in their relationships and communities, where everyone’s basic needs are met.
