Charming Disaster, all the way from NYC
Charming Disaster is a goth-folk musical duo based in Brooklyn, NY, formed in 2012 by Ellia Bisker and Jeff Morris. Inspired by the macabre humor of Edward Gorey and Tim Burton, the murder ballads of the Americana tradition, and the dramatic flair of the cabaret, they write playfully dark songs about death, crime, myth, magic, science, and the occult.

Silver Rein - Ithaca NY
Silver Rein is an Ithaca NY-based performing artist, whose cinematic operatic Goth-Folk music explores feelings of isolation and belonging, life and death against the landscape of an old yet familiar world. Electric cello meets soft to soaring operatic vocals in this goth folk music experience. Described by listeners as “Viking dungeon music” “Celtic” and “a spiritual experience,” Silver Rein casts spells of the ages.

Charming Disaster Biography
Brooklyn-based musical duo Charming Disaster was formed in 2012 by Ellia Bisker and Jeff Morris. Inspired by the macabre humor of Edward Gorey and Tim Burton, the murder ballads of the Americana tradition, and the dramatic flair of the cabaret, they write playfully dark songs that tell stories about death, crime, myth, magic, folklore, science, and the occult. Charming Disaster’s music has been featured on the podcast Welcome to Night Vale, they have toured the United States and Europe, and have opened for Rasputina, Voltaire, and The Dresden Dolls. Recent appearances include Dragon Con, Joe's Pub at the Public Theatre in NYC, the Rochester Fringe Festival, and the Coney Island Sideshow stage.
“Charming Disaster are unusual, spooky, wickedly talented, and completely unafraid to delve deep into the underworld in exploration of all things lurking in the dark...they have a knack for making the macabre fun.” –Mixed Alternative
“The kind of soundtrack you'd expect to find on a 1930s cartoon about a Prohibition-era voodoo funeral...just be careful if they offer you a drink." –Goldmine
“A goth-cabaret folk vaudeville duo from Brooklyn in the dark cabaret mould of Tiger Lillies and Dresden Dolls.” –Outside Left
