falllift
Born out of weekly writing sessions during the pandemic, falllift is the collaborative project of Micah Cottingham and William Steven Hall. What began as a creative outlet soon evolved into a full-fledged band grounded in trust, balance, and a shared commitment to growth. Since their debut E.P. Sunday Sessions in 2022, falllift has released several singles, completed two national tours, and earned multiple sync placements. Their music blends introspective storytelling with powerful sonic landscapes, addressing themes from personal growth to social justice. Their upcoming single, All Salt—featuring award-winning poet Bluz—is slated for summer 2025, with a full-length album in the works. When not making music, falllift is rooted in community, nature, and their beloved dog, Lola.

A Different Thread
Some things are just meant to be. Alicia Best (US) and Robert Jackson (UK) met while busking on the cobbled streets of Ireland and discovered both a musical and personal harmony that was serendipitous. In the decade since forming A Different Thread, Best and Jackson have taken their act on the road, touring over a dozen countries, supporting artists such as Milk Carton Kids and Jody Stephens (Big Star), and garnering critical praise from the likes of Folk Radio UK, which hailed the duo as “warm, deep songwriters that have drank from the well of 20th century tradition.”

Edward Crowther
Edward Crowther is a rock guitarist and songwriter from Charlotte, North Carolina filling the forgotten void of the guitar hero. His music pulls from a unique palette of sounds including Portugal. The Man, Guns N’ Roses, Oasis, The All-American Rejects, Jim Croce, Green Day, Boston, The Smashing Pumpkins, Alice in Chains, and turns it into something that doesn’t sit neatly in one box. From him himself: “If I had to encompass everything I do as an artist, I’d say my genre is hard romantic and nostalgic dream-scape rock n’ roll. My sound just pulls on so many different elements and when combined all together, I think that’s how I would describe it.”

Sneaky Miles
Sneaky Miles is an indie folk band formed in the fall of 2019. Originally a trio—Kevin O’Brien, Patrick Fitzgibbons, and Jake Gagne—the band found each other through open mic nights at the University of New Hampshire. Since forming, Sneaky Miles has quickly become a local powerhouse in the New Hampshire Seacoast music scene.
While the band began as a stripped-down trio, Sneaky Miles has since expanded their live sound by teaming up with additional members on drums, bass, and pedal steel. The result is a high-energy performance and a sound that feels bigger than the sum of its parts, blending heartfelt storytelling with driving folk-rock arrangements.
Their latest album, Cowboys, Songbirds, and Other Tales of Sorrow (2024), showcases the band’s growth both sonically and lyrically, cementing their place in the modern indie folk landscape.
Sneaky Miles has shared the stage with The Backseat Lovers, Trampled by Turtles, Coyote Island, Dr. Dog, Will Evans, Wheatus, Rayland Baxter, Wild Rivers, and The Deslondes. Notable performances include Borderland Festival (2025), Leavitt Festival (2025), and they’ve played the BNHP “Little Hazy” B Stage before Caamp and The Lumineers (2022).
For fans of Caamp, Noah Kahan, The Lumineers, Mumford & Sons, and The Head and the Heart, Sneaky Miles delivers a sound rooted in community, connection, and cathartic live shows.
