————
PINK MERCURY is an entirely improvisational pop/rock collective with the goal of tapping into the buoyant, exploratory field that lives under and above our everyday lives.

Joining the lineup on Oct 12 at *7pm sharp* will be Stephanie Morgan (vox, formerly of stephaniesid), Ryan Oslance of Mistresses (drums), Merrick Noyes of Third Nature (keys), Zack Kardon of Southern Pine (guitar), and Mike Savino of Tall Tall Trees, PLUS professional dancers Kate Rouzer and Jeff Ewing.
————-
GOLDIE AND THE SCREAMERS is fronted by the texturally rich vocals of CaroMia Tiller, who’s performances seamlessly metamorphose song to song- at times lush and sultry and at times soul shaking and explosive. Their grooves are driven by the funky bass lines of Chandler Brewer, vintage R&B beats of Jacob Coats, smooth keyboards of CaroMia and the standout dapper guitar stylings of Jesse LapinskI. Goldie & The Screamers tend to lean toward the seductive avenues of Soul music.

With gorgeously crafted originals that have the the timeless quality of soul music past while still moving into the future, and inspired, crowd pleasing renditions of classic favorites Goldie & The Screamers have something to hook just about everyone.
