NONA always shows up and always brings optimism to our take on music. Multi-instrumentalist Michael Goldman somehow juggles so many projects, but every time he circles back to the solo moniker he creates under, his nuanced writing impresses and puts us in a good mood. Feel free to tip him here!
Creature Comfort had one of the top lighting setups of the Cancelled Plans Music Fest, and was quite the charmer from Jessey’s bedroom. We had fun with this one, and we know you will too. Be sure to donate here!

Incredible Folk/Americana collective Satin Nickel was not to miss at Cancelled Plans Music Festival 2020. We were transfixed. See why for yourself below!
We love Bandits on The Run so much and we were incredibly thrilled when they decided to play our Cancelled Plans Music Fest last Friday! They nabbed two time slots and entertained the masses. Legitimately, this is the trio I look forward to releases from the most and I KNOW we had some tips their way that evening.
If you didn’t get it before, now you do. You’re welcome.
Alt-pop singer-songwriter Sailing Stones drops new album Polymnia. The album has circles around romantic innocence and longing set in uncertainty.
“Fire Escape”, the last single released before the release of the album. The track is a love song watching one lose that comfort of innocence. Even with harsh words like “fire that rages for days”, the song itself is a gentle story of surrendering to love. The idea of letting go of that innocence and letting love take over is full of complex emotions but also simple ones. “Fire Escape” is a reminiscent take on a story of love that makes you feel “both broken and alive”
“Comfort”, is a song about coming to terms with your mistakes when it comes to love, but how you still seek the comfort a relationship brings. With opening words “I’m tired” we see from the start that Lindfor is introducing a subject tired of the love routine they are putting themselves through. However we see the struggle the subject faces by wanting to stop old habits but being pulled back in because it’s what they know.
What makes Polymnia special is Jenny Lindfors ability to combine mixed emotions that are sometimes contradictory, into her songs with ease.
