Madisinn is the solo project of Texas-born, NC native singer-songwriter Madison Grifaldo. Madisinn always dreamed of a world full of rich harmonies & whimsical instrumentation, so she created it. Her music has been described as “nurtured in a world closely occupied by beautiful voices” & “lavender and velvet lullaby voice.” She however describes it as a mixture of everything she loves and feels. Madisinn draws her vocal influences from her classical upbringing in music to her love for great American songwriting ( Judee Sill, Janis Ian, Leonard Cohen, Joan Baez, etc).
Madisinn’s first studio EP “The Sun on My Skin” was recorded by artist Samuel Beasley at RFG Studio in Boone, NC. In the past year Madisinn released two singles “Bad Again” and “Go Away” which were both produced by Max Agee in Wilmington, NC at Suck Rock Records. Currently, Madisinn is working on all new material and plans to begin recording her second EP this summer.

Bella Peadon began her music journey at the beginning of 2024 after releasing her debut single, ‘Red Wine’, produced by Jack Marcello of The Flotillas band. As a singer songwriter, Bella’s music is melodic and lyrically driven. Pulling inspiration from artists including Maggie Rogers, Gracie Abrams, and Kacey Musgraves, her acoustically centered songwriting includes hints of indie, pop, and americana styles.
Bella has now taken the live music scene by storm, playing shows and festivals across North Carolina and filling up the roster with upcoming shows in Raleigh and Wilmington. With her first EP currently in production, Bella will continue to release new projects and play live across the east coast and beyond.
Taylor Sharp is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer based in Raleigh, NC. He describes his music as retro jangle pop inspired by bands like The Smiths, Belle and Sebastian, and The Beach Boys. He has been releasing music since 2022, starting with the upbeat “Runaways”. His songwriting grew more sophisticated along with his production as he followed up with the synth-driven “I Will Wait” and melancholic “You’re Still Standing Near Me”, with its rich cornucopia of clean, jangly Telecasters. The next year, he continued to push his musical abilities with “When There’s No Music to Write”, the double-edged “Long Ride / Goodbye”, and, most recently, “No Help to Anyone”, which both proved he could work outside of the typical pop song structure. Outside of his bedroom studio, he has played local shows both solo and with his band, the Sharpies.
Braless started as a student run band in Chapel Hill in late 2021. Comprised of 6 uniquely skilled musicians, Braless has been playing shows in and around the Triangle area for the past 3 years. From their start in basements and backyards, they made their mark on the local music scene by inspiring community at UNC through their passion for live music. Though Braless began as a cover band that rocked bars and frat houses, they now have an original single on Spotify as their second released recording. Braless is most notable for its high energy, improvised sets that fuse indie rock and jazz. They hope to inspire others to chase their love for truthful and soul-satisfying music in all aspects of life.
