Caitlin Canty, an indie singer/songwriter, crafts her songs with maple-sugared vocals, blues-touched tones, and a percussive guitar. A Proctor, Vermont native now based in New York City, Caitlin spent her early years working on the production side of live music and backing up more established artists while quietly cultivating her own music. After finally escaping the cubicle, Caitlin swung around to the other side of the microphone and now performs regularly at The Living Room, Rockwood Music Hall and listening rooms across New England. Her fans compare her voice and songs to the likes of Patti Griffin, Norah Jones , and Bonnie Raitt. Caitlin sings often with Rachel Loshak and David Poe and has opened for John Hammond and Duncan Sheik. She has independently produced several EP’s and one full-length album, Green (2007) with a new multiple-part album to be released in 2010.

Darlingside is a string-rock quintet recently settled in Northhampton, MA. The band formed at Williams College, where they share the stage with such acts as Guster, The Format and The Ken Oak Band. Darlingside’s sound is characterized by elegantly crafted cello-violin duets, soaring harmonies, catchy hooks and compelling beats. Musical influences range from Radiohead to Nickel Creek, Beethoven to Phoenix. In 2010, these five multi-instrumentalists and their bold new songs are poised to explode onto stages all across the Northeast.
