Passim Presents
MadócTaking inspiration from her Pacific Northwest and Irish roots, Madóc is a queer artist who poetically blends the styles of folk and indie pop with celtic storytelling to create an artistic world of their own. With influence from the likes of Deloris O’Riordan of The Cranberries, Maggie Rogers and King Princess, Madóc uses her powerful vocals and tender lyrics of self-care to create songs that bring listeners into the truths of their rawest selves. After just one year of performing, she has already made a name for herself in the Boston music scene and has performed both locally and internationally. Their debut EP, Adrenaline Demos, comes out on June 29th. This project is an authentic, stripped and raw live session piece "time-capsuling" six of her most cherished songs in their skeletal acoustic form.

Passim Presents
NemarcaNemarca is the solo project of Anna Reidister. Her recorded work, which blends ambient textures, unusual chord voicings, and introspective lyrics, evoke a quiet intensity and a nuanced, immersive emotional landscape. Her live performances feature stripped back, acoustic versions of her songs that sound both large and intimate.
