Under the pseudonym Dream Home, Hadley Whittle produces numinous art-folk, using elements of commercial melodies and found sound that center around themes of faith, birth, paradox, and the natural world. After completing studies in the humanities, she has spent time living in a variety of ecumenical communities around the world where she has written and produced alternative musical projects and continued to develop her craft in reclaimed-wood carpentry. She now lives in Northwest Philadelphia among friends who, like her, are concerned with cultivating community beyond online presence and towards a deeper reality. 

Rachel Andie is a Japanese-American multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and visual artist from Philadelphia. Her work weaves together elements of folk, jazz, and rock to create music that feels both introspective and cinematic. Rooted in her diverse heritage and personal history, her artistry connects across cultures and lived experiences, offering a perspective that resonates with audiences around the world. Through layered arrangements and emotionally rich storytelling, she invites listeners into soundscapes that linger long after the music ends.
