Ames Harding and the Mirage(PGH)

Ames Harding & the Mirage is a 4-piece band who's unique blend of world-influenced indie is as catchy as it is nuanced. The project was started by Ames Harding, who grew up in Egypt, India, and Latin America, and combines psychedelia, folk, and world music. Since moving to Pittsburgh in 2020, Ames Harding has been the featured artist on WYEP twice, and has placed in the Top 3 for the 2021 WYEP singer-songwriter competition.

The band is made up of Eli Weidman on drums, Mike Saunders on bass, and AJ Arnett on percussion. Their genre-bending songs, built on rich sonic landscapes, surreal lyricism, and percussion, will truly take you on a trip. They have opened up for The Commonheart and have sold out shows at Brillobox, Mr. Smalls and Club Cafe.

Leveda (NYC)

If Laveda’s first record was a premonition of apocalypse, then their follow-up ‘A Place You Grew Up In’ is a shimmering, sensory, and sensitive time-capsule. The former Albany, now Brooklyn-based duo spent much of 2021 in LA working with friend and producer Dylan Herman (Beck) on their second full-length LP. Balancing tender songs edged with slacker-rock guitars and spiraling otherworldly synths, the album flits from the lyrical intimacy of Big Thief to the expansive sonics of classic acts like Slowdive or The Cranberries. The album garnered support from blogs such as Brooklyn Vegan, Under The Radar, The Independent, The Revue, The Rodeo Mag, and many others. Along with the talents of Joe Taurone (drums) and Dan Carr (bass) the four-piece have embarked on several extensive headlining tours across the US post-pandemic. ‘A Place You Grew Up In’ is out now.

Burdoned By Images (S.C.)

Burdoned By Images is a project by Nick Mateer and Spencer McKee, inspired by ambient, post-punk and experimental music.
