Lineup
Essie Humberston
Essie Humberston is a princess of Neverland who was magicked into a frog at a very young age. A lot of people thought this was a devastating loss, but she was quite content to be green. Plus the magic that caused her metamorphosis stayed inside of her to this very day, and instead of croaking (which she still sometimes does), she sings songs and can hop to an average height. Although naturally inclined to hermitude, it is said that Essie can be found singing and hopping around Portland, OR - especially when it rains, or near trains. P.S. Do not try to kiss her - it will NOT turn her back to “normal” - it will just turn you into a frog (and in extreme cases a slimy slug).
ann annie
ann annie is the stage name for PNW based composer Eli Goldberg. Starting out primarily as an electronic ambient musician, ann annie has brought various acoustic instruments into his compositions, most recently focusing on classical instruments. Goldberg’s live set ranges from large chamber orchestra groups, to solo piano performances. Each set is heavily improvised and different every night.
Steven “Leslie” Douglas
Steven “Leslie” Douglas enjoys writing music that is simple and straightforward. Typically written on acoustic guitar, his songs might feel honest, vulnerable, personable, or silly. He believes in the power of connection through music and pulls inspiration from Kurt Vile, Adrianne Lenker, and his local music scene in Portland, OR.
