Allie Young / Public Speaking / Matt Evans / Kendra McKinley

Allie Young is a musician and producer based in Hudson, NY. With a focus on narrative lyricism, her vocal-forward compositions incorporate tenor saxophone, electric guitar, synths and other mysteries. Inspired by the likes of Kimbra, Caroline Polachek and Björk, Young’s dynamic voice centers her sound, which finds unexpected grittiness in pop. 

Public Speaking is the solo project of Brooklyn sound artist and songwriter Jason Anthony Harris. Utilizing voice, radio, tape recorder and found objects, he pores over pedals to loop, warp and augment these sources. The result is a soulful electronic music as meticulously constructed as it is emotionally powerful.

Matt Evans is a drummer and producer making acoustic and electronic music about the poetic interconnections between landscapes: internal, external, fictional, and virtual. Taking cues from millennial esoterica, natural phenomena, and science fiction, Matt uses drum-driven hypnotic soundscapes and improvisatory performances to embody imaginary ecosystems of surreal sonic worlds.

Kendra McKinley is a singer-songwriter whose music bursts with vibrance, sensuality and wit. Her lush blend of chamber pop, jazz, and soul draws from a deep well of inspiration. Whether she’s performing solo or dancing with her full band Kendra’s confident, honeyed voice indulges all who hear it.
