Matthew Carefully

Always inventive and seeking fresh collaborations, Matthew Carefully is well known to area audiences for his years as mandolinist with folk-rock band the Kamikaze Hearts. He has subsequently released two solo albums that feature rich, lush acoustic soundscapes with a feel of poignancy and thoughtfulness.

He is mildly obsessed with marrying traditional instruments with modern technology and sounds. Known to utilize live on-the-fly looping, octave pedals, thick distortion and heavy reverb, Matthew delivers a unique, constantly evolving musical performance.
Bailiwick is a Skidmore College based acoustic band with four members and ten instruments. Their influences are diverse, from the jangly folk-infused psychedelia of the mid-1960s to the sugary dementia of Animal Collective, and everything in between. This makes music which some people describe as "beautiful," "intriguing," and even "good." Bailiwick delivers an energy and fullness that is seldom found in acoustic bands.
