Wooden Rings, a project from Haitian immigrant Ramah Jihan Malebranche, is new to the triangle. Ramah blends progressive folk and rock into lush, original compositions, crafting poignant songs that resonate deeply. Amidst personal upheaval, Ramah began writing music while working construction in 2010, leading to the formation of Wooden Rings—a delicate acoustic chamber group aiming to captivate intimate venues.

Laketown Riots is a newfolk music project conceived by singer-songwriter Dmitri Glover. It is a blend of the traditional sounds of guitar, mandolin, and banjo, with lyrics of nature, love, magick, and isolation resulting in an increasingly technological world. 

John Valenza is a songwriter whose music reflects his personal growth and introspection. His goal is to create music that resonates with people and speaks to their experiences. His debut release, 'Bruises,' in 2019, served as self-encouragement during challenging times. John has performed at various venues, including coffee shops and open mics, and since relocating from Atlanta to Raleigh in 2023, he has cherished the supportive community of fellow musicians.
