Number One Babe


A singer and songwriter from Westerly, Rhode Island, Zachary Alexander Cholewa started Number One Babe in 2020 as a vehicle for their indie folk & Americana twang after spending formative years writing and performing with garage rock band Sydney’s Armour. Their debut album, 2022’s Ecstatic Function brought many jangly, raucous shows to the greater northeast, culminating in an electrifying set at Newport Folk Festival in 2024. Cholewa’s new LP titled Red Clover released November 14, 2025 via Funnybone Records, proving to be the songwriter’s most defining body of work to date.


The Tines


The Tines are a New England based outfit helmed by songwriter and producer S.G. Carlson. The band formed as a recording project in late 2019, creating a cleverly crafted indie rock that focuses on the balance of tension and beauty.


The Tines released their first EP, The Enemy Is Listening (Free As Birds Records)  in 2020, and began to perform live in 2021. A self-titled debut album came out on Funnybone Records in 2022.


They have performed around the Northeast US and EU, appeared at the Arts and Ideas Festival, Garé a la Rochette, The Thing In Spring, and Limb Snapping, playing with artists like Daniel Romano, The Huntress and Holder of Hands, Lee Ronaldo, Improvement Movement, and The Futurebirds. As a solo artist, S.G. Carlson has appeared alongside Andy Shauf, Michael Nau, Erin Durant, and Shaun Rowe.


Their second album, Barrows, released on March 20, 2026 via Funnybone Records to great acclaim, receiving 9 out of 10 stars on Americana UK, and praise from Shindig Magazine, Spill Magazine, Daily Nut Meg and more. Listen everywhere now.

Mary Fraud


An artist of friction, Mary Fraud sits on the brim of post-punk neuroticism and singer-songwriter sensitivities. Infusing twitchy instrumentation with uncomfortably honest songwriting, Mary Fraud defines herself by a never ending restlessness to do everything that she hasn’t done before.


Following her EP Trender, Mary Fraud’s debut project Good Enough arrived in March of 2025, featuring the erratic, infectious lead single “Roll Mercy”. Good Enough made isolation feel comfortable, and packaged anger as freedom. The album itself is ghastly and blunt, and pulls from a myriad of influences to create something expansive and otherworldly.


To close out 2025, Mary Fraud has teamed with Funnybone Records to release her new single “Try”, an off-kilter crooner with oddball-pop tendencies.
