Raef- Playing saxophone and synths in and around Jamaica Plain. Also writes and thinks and teaches and sleeps and makes good and bad choices in and around Jamaica Plain.
Ray-ray Farrales as Tender Power - tender power explores repetition, resistance, ritual and the loops of feelings. They dig into questions to bring performance collages of sound, dance, presence, gesture and resonance with you in this (zoom) room. Gesture and cassettes are their poetry—holding every dissonance with honor.
Rubin Hohlbein is a multi-instrumentalist songwriter and composer based in Jamaica Plain. He is the primary composer as well as keyboardist in the band Queen Crony, and does freelance work as a trumpeter all around Boston.

scott-saleem is a multi-instrumental sound artist. They primarily use string and percussion instruments through effects processing to interact with the sounds of natural environments. For this performance they will use a loop station (that records and plays back sounds), weaving together different sounds to create a sonic tapestry.
Katya Zinn is a poet, educator, and sentient tornado recently retransplanted to Boston from rural Malaysia, where she taught English and Poetry to high-schoolers on the island of Borneo through a Fulbright scholarship ended prematurely due to the Coronavirus. She currently lives at the Whitehaus, a historic artists’ settlement and show house in Jamaica Plain.
