Carrie Manolakos, already positioned in the top 100 of the iTunes pop charts with her debut album “Echo”, became an internet sensation with her haunting performance of Radiohead classic Creep, captured at her album release concert in April 2012 at (le) poisson rouge. The video is close to two million views and still climbing by the thousands. She was selected for Elle Magazine’s 30 Under 30: Essential Names to Know, voted #1 by readers. Carrie has sung with Phish at Madison Square Garden, as a guest artist for their much anticipated New Years Eve Show- one of their wildest in history. She's been featured in the New York Times, The New Yorker, Huffington Post, Daily Beast, MTV, Gawker and MSNnow.
::
Manolakos has a background in musical theater, with Broadway credits. Her debut album, Echo, is a lyrical blend of folk, pop and soul. Her sound dances among the stars of Adele and Joni Mitchell, with a kiss blown to Jeff Buckley, but a voice that is unmistakably hers alone.

Included in NPR Music's Favorite Discoveries from the 2013 CMJ Music Festival; songwriter, vocalist and live looper, Margot MacDonald embodies a one-woman band. A long time guitarist and pianist, Margot's instrumentation has expanded to include unconventional vocal accompaniments created live thru the use of a loop pedal. Haunting, powerful and indie-pop driven Margot's performances make you forget the technology she hones, as you lose yourself in layers of lush vocals and striking melodies.
::
Margot is the current Washington Area Music Association "Artist of the Year", a recipient of DC's Power 30 Under 30 award, an Artist-in-Residence alumna at the Music Center at Strathmore, and has been featured on NPR, Voice of America, and TEDx. Now 22, her fourth studio album is quickly gaining critical acclaim.
