Features
Fresh off a first place win at the 2023 Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival band competition, Rachel Sumner & Traveling Light have been captivating audiences throughout the northeast. With songs as sweet and biting as the nectar and venom in her voice, Sumner’s lyric-forward writing and penchant for snaking chord progressions demand something far beyond folk conventions, highlighting the acrobatic range of her brilliant bandmates Kat Wallace (fiddle) and Mike Siegel (upright bass).
Sumner is no stranger to the stage. She spent her early career on the bluegrass circuit, singing and writing with the genre-bending roots group Twisted Pine. Since setting out on her own, Sumner’s songs have been critically acclaimed: winning the 2021 John Lennon Award in the folk category for her song “Radium Girls (Curie Eleison);” earning a spot in the Kerrville New Folk Competition; and being chosen four consecutive years as one of the top Massachusetts entries in NPR’s Tiny Desk Competition. Rachel Sumner & Traveling Light released their debut LP in the summer of 2022 to critical acclaim.

The Wonderfool – the recording project of singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Matt Vinson (of Caamp) – is a soundtrack for early mornings and late nights. Dreamt into existence by an Ohio native who’s spent the better part of a decade onstage, on the road, and in the recording studio, it’s indie-folk music to bookend your day.
Boston’s Tall Heights thinks the sound of togetherness is profound right now. Childhood friends Paul Wright and Tim Harrington (cello/guitar harmony duo), once street performed 100 days straight to fund their earliest recordings. In the time since, Tall Heights has released 3 studio albums to critical acclaim and major streaming success (400 million streams to date). They appeared on Conan O’Brien, CBS This Morning, and their songs have been featured on Grey’s Anatomy, American Idol, and many more. Most recently, after opening a tour for Ben Folds, Folds invited Tall Heights to stay on the road with him as his backing band. After a few momentous tours as such, Folds invited them to Nashville in 2022. There they apprenticed under a master, helping Ben Folds write and record his new album, ‘What Matters Most’ (New West, 2023). On the back of such years honing their craft on the road and in the studio, Tall Heights enters 2024 with their 4th studio LP in hand. The album, to be released this fall, debuts an ambitious living snapshot of 1 week in anopen room in western Massachusetts. It is the sound of an old and deep friendship breathing together in a place in time.
