Steve Gunn
New York, USA
Steve Gunn is a New York-based guitarist and songwriter. With a career spanning nearly fifteen years, Steve has produced volumes of critically acclaimed solo, duo, and ensemble recordings. His albums represent milestones of contemporary guitar-driven material, and forward thinking songwriting. Steve has steadily processed his inspirations into a singular, virtuosic stream. Close listening reveals the influence of blues, folk, ecstatic free jazz, and psych in his continually unfolding output. In 2016 Steve released, Eyes On The Lines, his first album for Matador Records which the Washington Post called, “so intimate and so mysteriously distant all at once“.

Arthur Ahbez
Auckland, NZ
Volume II is the long awaited second album from acid folk troubadour Arthur Ahbez, and follow up to 2013’s critically acclaimed Gold. Best described as a soul lost in the spirit of song, Arthur finds solace in the ethos of Jazz, Folk, and Psychedelic movements of the 1960’s.
