🎤 Charlie Chronopoulos
Charlie Chronopoulos is a country singer spinning dark folk tales of the post-industrial wasteland of Middlesex County, delivered always with the same glowing hope it took to root for the Sox for a hundred years.

Born in Lowell, MA, Singer/songwriter Charlie Chronopoulos got his start performing as a guitarist in regional lounges and ballrooms, sharing the stage as a teen with classic acts such as Grand funk railroad, Cheap Trick, and the Doobie Brothers. He went on to produce his own indie records and work as a session guitarist for several multi-platinum and Grammy winning artists including Serj Tankian (System of a Down) and Shirley Manson (Garbage).
His career took an unconventional turn when he was invited to work under Tony winner Diane Paulus and perform in several off-broadway productions for the ART at Harvard University. Chronopoulos credits this time with re-invigorating his love of storytelling and performance art, and so he rented mill space in Wilton, NH to start writing and producing his own work with renewed vigor.
His latest effort “Dead end” is a stripped down compilation of songs that play out like short stories, centering around the lives of family and friends he witnessed struggling with addiction during his time performing in lounges in greater Lowell, MA.
While the subject matter is often heavy, Chronopoulos writes with empathy, and a type of war humor that serves to counter the narrative of backwardness and poverty.
🎤 Ben Wright
‘Benjamin Jayne,’ is a project that Benjamin Wright sustains out of Brattleboro, Vermont.
His music has been compared to bands like The National, Nick Drake, and Beck, and his baritone vocals have been compared to Leonard Cohen. However, his new record “Broken” (coming 10/13/23) reveals an entirely new vocal range. The music tends to be on the darker side, melancholic and reflective and is typically considered folk rock. Though he uses interesting electronic elements and sometimes gets a little too heavy to be called folk.
Broken continues in the realm of melancholia. It primarily deals with people trying to reconcile who they are now compared to who they remember themselves to be before the current of time got a hold of them. It is about seeing our reflection and being unrecognizable to ourselves and then facing the challenge of unraveling all of the elements we have wrapped ourselves in that don’t feel genuine. The album seeks truth and rebirth.
