Featuring Pete Lindberg | Alexandra Grace | High Tea

Pete Lindberg
Owing as much influence to a John Prine lyric as a Koji Kondo composition for Nintendo, Massachusetts-born singer/songwriter Pete Lindberg has been writing and performing original music since childhood, gradually carving out a style his very own. After relocating to Nashville, TN in the late aughts, Lindberg went on to collaborate with artists such as Erin Rae, Margo Price, Luke Bell, and Cale Tyson—performing in revered venues such as The Ryman Auditorium and Newport Folk Festival. 

Alexandra Grace
Described by most as a singer-songwriter with an old soul, Alexandra Grace lays her thought-provoking lyrics atop a bed of folk-influenced music, creating eclectic and unique songs.

Alexandra graduated Magna Cum Laude from Berklee College of Music in May 2020 with a B.M. in Songwriting and Vocal Performance and a minor in Psychology. Currently, she is focusing on performing, songwriting, and recording. She also teaches private lessons in voice, songwriting, piano, beginner guitar & ukulele at her music studio in Gloucester. 

Alexandra released her debut EP ' Solstice' on May 14, 2021. So far, her songs have landed on some well known playlists and have been awarded "Song of The Week" from the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, as well as Semi-Finalist in the International Songwriting Competition, for her song 'Medicine'.

High Tea 
High Tea, the indie folk-rock duo hailing from Massachusetts, is a concoction of sweepingly soulful harmonies, guitar riffs to knock your socks off, and a refreshing blend of old blues and new rock. Isabella DeHerdt and Isaac Eliot have come together to fill spaces with homegrown storytelling and Lumineers-esque vocals. Their songs are ripe with americana heartbreak, and tell tales of growing up, going wild, and always coming back to the ones you love.

Their previous releases, Old Cowboy and The Wick And The Flame were featured on playlists, radio shows, and publications like The Boston Globe, The Greenfield Recorder (among others). The title track of Old Cowboy led them to be chosen as one of WBUR’s top 4 Massachusetts Tiny Desk entries of 2022. They toured The Wick And The Flame on the West Coast, in New England, and throughout other US States and received write ups from Atwood’s Magazine, The Boston Herald, and more. 

Their new EP, Scuba Diving, dives - literally and figuratively - into four very different worlds on each unique song. Listeners are led through an exhilarating and dangerous love story, a struggle for independence from a lineage of harsh repression, and an internal struggle against the feeling of hopelessness brought on by quick-fix culture, all accompanied by dynamic guitar, thumping drums, and echoing harmonies. This journey of lyrical storytelling and compelling sound culminates in the title track and single from the album, a personal and intimate story of hospitalization, a search for mental health, fear for a friend who is facing down demons, and the fight for understanding an ally’s role within that story. Without a doubt, Scuba Diving is some of High Tea’s most honest and eye-opening work yet.
