Mikaela Davis

Monica
Mikaela Davis charms our hearts with whimsical pleasures in her self-titled musical project. The harpist/singer-songwriter from Rochester brings new eclectic flavors to the indiescape with 13 well-composed pieces. Fluttering atop piano keys is Oh Brother. Davis surprises the listeners with her distinct vocals that curls and folds in the right places. While Where Will We Go follows with dream folk arrangement reminiscent of Camera Obscura.

Sophia Wells: Above the Fire

Monica
Sophia Wells‘ first venture is more of like an image of a song being sung in the middle of the autumn. Above the Fire is a five-track album made for those who love to listen to this combination of country and folk. The singer’s soulful, earthy with a pinch of rock vocals is combined with the beats of drums, and the strums of a guitar and a bass.

Melissa Murphy: Youth EP

Monica
Melissa Murphy’s singing can be anything but lackluster and tedious. With her versatile and powerful voice, she can reach the highest notes of a ballad and spice up a contemporary song. Having admitted that she has been an avid writer since early age, her passion is to share what she writes through her songs. Being a singer songwriter, indubitably, all of her songs are very intimate and close to her heart.

Chris Rubeo: Erin

Monica
Erin by Chris Rubeo is a stash of spellbinding and enthralling folk ballad music. This EP makes it clear that the passing of time hasn’t reduced down the taste for the mysteries of folk music. In Lights, Grace Rolland’s dulcet tones and phrasing are wonderful to listen to; you just can’t help swaying along to them. The song shows simplicity, yet it will keep you amazed.
