Vanna Pacella

A vibrant young talent making impressive strides, Vanna Pacella hails from coastal Falmouth, MA, and has rapidly emerged as New England's hometown rising star. This multi-instrumentalist crafts contemporary pop/folk/rock soundscapes that exist in the ethereal space between powerful, raw rock intensity and unvarnished human emotion, already on her way to touch the hearts of fans everywhere. Vanna's haunting layered vocals give way to expressive, cinematic keyboard solos, all underpinned by a profound, searching lyricism. It's a sound that has led devoted listeners to deem her the "modern Fleetwood Mac."

In Vanna’s work, you can hear the sonic architecture of Pink Floyd, the ghosts of Fleetwood Mac's melodic genius, the soulful grit of Bonnie Raitt, the pop sensibilities of The Police, and the candid introspection and groove of the late Mac Miller. This genre-defying fluidity makes Vanna a versatile force, comfortable moving from stripped-down songwriter showcases to full-throttle rock bills. Vanna’s sound is reminiscent of contemporary artists Sara Bareilles or Vanessa Carlton—spliced with the unmistakable swagger of classic rock and deep soul/R&B undertones. Her live sound is delivered by an expertly tight trio: Vanna helms the keys/synth bass and vocals while Tom Davis intricately weaves notes and chords on electric guitar, and the expressive Ken Dellot anchors the rhythm, ensuring an impressive presence for just three players.

Vanna's powerful voice and introspective lyricism have garnered a fiercely loyal fanbase across New England, backed by significant industry recognition. In 2025, she achieved significant recognition by winning 2025 New England Music Award (NEMA) "New Act of the Year", earning a 2025 NEMA nomination for "Best Song" for single "Wolf", and obtaining a finalist spot in NEMA’s highly competitive Last Band Standing competition. Vanna's impressive track record also features three wins in the 2025 New England Songwriting Competition. Vanna's performances have lit up prominent New England venues, from regularly selling out 150 cap rooms in southeastern MA to pulling in a crowd of 250 for her July 2025 album release show. Vanna has shared the stage with notable acts such as Rock/Blues guitarist Jax Hallow, John McEuen (Nitty Gritty Dirt Band), and viral Canadian pop/soul duo YASSiN & Sean Terrio. She has performed at notable venues City Winery Boston, Stone Church (VT), Stone Church (NH), Soundcheck Studios (MA), Levitate Backyard (MA), The Music Room Cape Cod (MA), The Press Room (NH), Cultural Center of Cape Cod (MA), and Cotuit Center for the Arts (MA).

Audio Jane

​Audio Jane is a female-fronted indie rock band from Connecticut, known for their emotionally charged soundscapes and hauntingly beautiful melodies. At the heart of the band is frontwoman Sarah Pech, whose songwriting is as raw as it is resonant.  She began writing music and playing guitar at age 13, auditioning friends for her first "band" by singing Cranberries songs on repeat until they gave in and let her be lead singer. By 17, she was performing at open mics, and she's never looked back.  Her voice - ranging from fragile to feral, has been described as haunting, seductive, serene, and fierce. 

The band's rhythmic backbone features Mike Ciunci (Poor Pluto, Blanket Jackson) on drums, whose intuitive style brings both drive and depth, and John Eisler (Ginger Bug) on bass, anchoring each song with his dynamic bass lines. Rounding out the lineup is Anthony DeMonte, a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter (The Villian is You) whose inventive, melodic guitar work brings an edge and texture to the band's sound. Together, Audio Jane carves out beauty in the wreckage.

Audio Jane's 2016 debut EP, A Full Bird's Wing, made an immediate impact with the Huffington Post declaring "Audio Jane is just damn good." Their 2017 follow-up, Naive, won Connecticut Album of the Year in the CTNow's Best of Hartford Reader's Poll, solidifying their prescence in the regional music scene

Their music has reached beyond New England: Audio Jane has been featured on NPR's "Where we Live" and their songs have appeared in popular shows such as Nancy Drew (CW) and The Midnight Club (Netflix). Their 2018 album Letters landed on the Hartford Courant's list of Top 20 Connecticut albums of the year, with the standout track "I Was Looking at You" featured in the film The Never List (HBO).

​During the pandemic, they wrote and recorded A Terrible Plan - released in 2021- which again earned a spot on the Hartford Courant's Top 20 list.  Their latest release, We Always Make a Mess of Things, is now streaming everywhere. 

​Catch Audio Jane live across New England - playing festivals and music venues - where their dreamy, atmospheric sound truly comes to life!

Shell Games

New Haven, CT’s newest synth-indie-pop rockers Shell Games bring you their dynamic and delicate mix of electro-pop-rock that creates a vibrant, colorful atmosphere, blending intricate melodies with powerful beats to captivate and energize listeners. Fronted by Carrie Martinelli on synth, Shell Games includes album producer Nick Post on guitar, Devin McGrath on guitar, Steve Athans on bass, and Ted Freeman on drums.

After releasing their debut studio album Smoke & Mirrors in June 2024, husband and wife duo Carrie Martinelli and album producer Nick Post realized they wanted to take this project to the next level. With Ted, Steve and Devin joining the band, Shell Games was complete and booking shows locally. Within a few months, they were booked by Manic Productions to open for Australian band Eliza and the Delusionals at the Space Ballroom on their national USA/Canada tour. With their live performances heating up and their song Body Snatchers making waves on Spotify (now with over 65k streams), Nick and Carrie got back into the studio and wrote their first single as a full band: “Please Don’t Sink My Battleship”, which was released in March of 2025. TinderBox Music ran a radio campaign with the song landing it as the #15 top single on college and non-comm radio in the entire country in July 2025, and now currently having airplay in over 70 radio stations across North America and counting.
