The Little Tulips with Velvet Vision & Psirens ALL AGES The Little Tulips with Velvet Vision & Psirens THE LITTLE TULIPS Formed mid-pandemic, The Little Tulips make music for all the things we have had a little extra time to dwell on during the quarantine. Heartbreak and bitterness make you sad but isolation makes you bold. Combining three part harmonies, airy loops, and pastoral melodies, The Little Tulips hone in on something between atmospheric emo and neo-western garage rock. Maybe as if Lucy Dacus found herself sitting around a campfire with Magnolia Electric Co and Waxahatchee. PSIRENS is the ever-changing collaborative project of solo vocalist Paris Mancini. Her performance consists of looping percussive bass and many intricate vocal melodies while sampling noise and beats. Her sound has been described as "cinematic" and "ethereal." She has been compared to St Vincent, Reggie Watts, Bjork, CocoRosie and TuneYards. She has performed in Latin America, toured extensively across the United States and a touch in Eastern Europe. She has released 8 studio albums, 2 live albums and has been actively playing as PSIRENS since 2009. She is based out of Brooklyn NY and Santa Fe NM. VELVET VISION Velvet Vision is the solo project of Betty Taylor, a musician currently based in Santa Fe, NM. Raised in Minnesota by musician parents, Betty was constantly surrounded by music and grew up playing the violin in her school’s Orchestra. Despite being immersed in it throughout childhood, she didn’t pursue writing music until the spring of 2018, when she began learning guitar and writing songs simultaneously. She has been developing her sound since then, participating in various music projects spanning a range of genres (Delilah Fang, et) before emerging as a solo artist with Velvet Vision. Leaning into a longstanding love of both electronic and pop music, Velvet Vision is characterized by a pronounced use of synthesizers, samples, and lush vocal harmonies to create rosy yet reflective songs. An all ages all inclusive music venue supporting the arts in their many forms.
