Daisypusher
"After several years of playing across upstate NY, Daisypusher now brings Northeast Ohio a mixture of folk originals paired with eclectic covers that make for a unique musical experience. In 2022 he released his self-recorded EP Self-Made Monster available on both Spotify and YouTube and now his latest singles "Strangers" and "Daydream " are also available for listeners."
Miss Dreadful
A quiet observer with a keen imagination, Miss Dreadful says more in a two minute song than a two hour conversation. The dark folk singer/songwriter weaves macabre tales of murder and monsters, often sprinkled with a touch of dark humor. Her songs explore the sinister side of human nature, often featuring characters who deviate from normal conventions and commit extreme acts. Her horror-themed lyrics are reminiscent of artists like Harley Poe, Amigo the Devil, and Roky Erickson, while her sound draws influence from early to contemporary folk, blues, and punk. Miss Dreadful continues to write new music and perform at shows and festivals. In August 2025, she released her latest EP, Keep Me Warm at Night, a collection of songs recorded with Goodsoundwaves.
