| Hi friends! Don’t forget that this Friday is the Queer Country Quarterly! I know you may be thinking, wasn’t there just one in April? Does Karen know what quarterly means? But we had to make a special extra addition because Tina & Her Pony are coming in from from Asheville, NC! You probably heard about how Tina & Her Pony melted everyone’s hearts last time they were here, so you might as well get ready to go all melty again. Plus, Paisley Fields will be our fabulous guest host! And Mylo Choy will get things started with their gorgeous songs. It’s gonna be a super magical night, so don’t miss it. |

The songs themselves carry a gentle wisdom that invigorates the listener. Tina & Her Pony truly commit to a kind of chamber folk that feels as timeless as it does timely.” – Rachel Cholst, NO DEPRESSION Paisley Fields www.thepaisleyfields.com Mylo Choy www.mylochoy.com Mylo Choy has spent much of their life between contrasting environments. Growing up in Wisconsin, they also maintained a strong connection to Hawai’i where their mother is from; for years they worked in outdoor education, living between the woods and Brooklyn where they currently live. Finding consistency has been an ongoing journey. Drawing inspiration from nature’s ability to offer peace and perspective, Mylo creates songs that reflect without dwelling and soothe without escaping. Their bedroom-folk sound, influenced by ‘60s folk, ‘70s Hawaiian music and ‘90s indie rock, can be described as Joni Mitchell meets Death Cab for Cutie or Yo La Tengo. Embracing chaos and quiet, Mylo cultivates a landscape that feels like home no matter where they are. |
