Nathan Williams plays zydeco, the fast and furious accordion-driven dance music of the Creole people of South Louisiana, a relatively modern style that emerged after the Second World War. With its trademark rubboard percussion, electric guitars and R&B influences, zydeco is distinct from the fiddle-driven music of neighboring Cajuns. http://zydecochachas.com/

Meg Golz and Eve Wilczewski started as co-workers, slowly courted each other into best friendship, and then magically into music-making conspirators – all along, guiding the ship that is their indie-pop duo Seasaw. Based in Madison, WI, Seasaw combines lush soundscapes and intricate harmonies to create their unique and powerful sound. Seasaw has performed alongside Lucius, Thao & the Get Down Stay Down, Shakey Graves and many others. Their upcoming album will be released on September 7, 2018. https://www.singseasaw.com/
