Tiny Blue Ghost is a band originating from New Paltz, NY. What started as a solo project by frontwoman Marissa Carroll her sophomore year of college quickly blossomed into a four-piece group not shy to make noise and blend genres into what the group affectionately calls “dream rock.” The band released their debut LP “Growing Pains” in October 2017. The album tackles different subjects one might experience while transitioning into adulthood, including mental health, nostalgia, personal traumas, and more.
The band’s overall sound can best be described with soaring vocal melodies and atmospheric guitar textures, drawing influence from bands such as Now, Now, Radiohead, and Death Cab for Cutie. Tiny Blue Ghost has played shows with notable bands such as Tigers Jaw, Petal, Macseal, Nervous Dater, and Slingshot Dakota in venues surrounding the Hudson Valley/Catskill region. Marissa’s vocals can also be heard as backup harmonies on Diet Cig’s debut album “Swear I’m Good At This.”
Now based in Kingston, NY, Tiny Blue Ghost’s second album “Mend Again” was released on 4/12/19 via Chatterbot Records. While holding some common themes in “Growing Pains” close, “Mend Again” is about unforgivingly loving yourself and learning to let go.

The Arkhams are a 4 piece band playing a brand of Psychobilly which is melodic, danceable, and downright FUN! The sound: a psychotic episode across sub-genre boundaries which at any twitch can switch from Psychobilly/Garage to Mersey-beat/R&B, Surf, Rockabilly and Punk Rock, yet still make sense in this nonsense world. The diversity of musical influence fed through the Arkhams’ warped meat grinder of a collective mind yields a tasty and agreeable musical sausage treat that shockingly appeals to a rather broad audience.
Taking their name from a town made infamous in HP Lovecraft lore and also an asylum in Batman comics (that itself being a Lovecraft reference) it’s no coincidence that the songs have recurring themes of insanity and mental illness. We are kinda weird.
Formed in 2006 as a three piece, the Arkhams have evolved along the way, adding a second guitar player, (and losing him to kidney failure/a long waiting list for a transplant), having guest Sax players and even a burlesque dancer/performance artist. Since then, the Arkhams have traveled most of the US, Quebec and Ontario, Germany and have been featured at festivals in Spain and Finland.

With multiple EPs, compilations, and a recent full-length album they have stayed busy playing a signature mix of psychedelic folk, rock, jazz and funk.
