THUS LOVE featuring Luminous Crush, Sisyphean Feat, Willowsmiths

THUS LOVE is a band from Brattleboro, Vermont that shares a bond cemented by their experience as outsiders looking in. The band’s ethos reflects not only their musical vision but their very existence as trans/queer artists. From the beginning, they have all lived together under the same roof, designed, and produced their own merch, and even created their own recording studio from scratch. Theirs is a story of seeking meaning in struggle, embracing community and love and finding joy in rebirth. This world touring band native to Vermont was recently featured in Rolling Stone Magazine’s “Artists You Need to Know” column.

LUMINOUS CRUSH Front women Laura Molinelli and Bay Campbell present original bluegrass, alt country, psychedelic fusion, dream pop, indie rock and whatnot. They are joined by Darcy Milligan on drums and Elissa Bucceri on bass. Founded in 2015, with roots in bedroom pop as well as traditional folkand Americana, they deliver a unique and original sound.“Luminous Crush live up to their name: They dazzle with brightly appointed music, and they’re easy to love.” – Jordan Adams, Seven Days
