I, Dominick Antonelli, am originally from Pittsburgh, PA and have been playing guitar for the last 19 years. Unbeknownst to me at the time, the beginning years of playing were building a support system, a form of therapy, to help navigate tough childhood experiences. At age 16, I was introduced to alternate tunings, and that completely changed my playing experience, and my life. It gave me space to start exploring and developing my own feel/sound, without having the knowledge of theory. I am inspired by many musicians such as Andy Mckee, Keller Williams, Watchhouse, Elephant Revival, The Grateful Dead, Squeeda, Trevor Hall, Flook and many others. I feel so blessed to have a wide ray of musical influence, yet the sound has been refined through my life and character. I play a mix of instrumental pieces and songs with lyrics, both of which have been inspired by my experiences in search of self awareness and lessons through traveling. I have played at music festivals on the east coast, one in Costa Rica and Thailand. The music continues to refine and continues to surprise me in what decides to come out of these fingers. I am looking forward to sharing with you at Trident on May 3! Thanks for your support of local musicians and for coming to listen to our offerings!

ALEX HARDESTY

Alex was born a baby in Boise, ID (which is not Iowa nor Ohio) where he found a love for music at the ripe age of 7 through violin and bass.Cradled by the mountains, yet challenged by tumultuous gender and identity political landscapes during his youth, Alex never lacked inspiration to seek refuge in his music. After picking up  many different instruments and many different degrees including double bass performance and architecture, Alex began finding euphoria in singing and songwriting which correlated with his coming out at trans and finding comfort in his own voice.

His songwriting process focuses on the poetry of daily life and deeper questions, and you will often find him gazing directionally for many minutes in pursuit of the perfect word. Alex truly is a joyful and playful human, but his music borrows dark and melancholic threads from what he calls “the constant and often burdening pursuit of understanding how to be human.” Fingerpicking, husky yet honeyed vocals, and prolific storytelling are a few of Alex’s many talents as an up and coming singer songwriter.

When Alex isn’t writing, recording, or performing, he spends most of his days teaching middle school in Boulder, CO. He truly loves being a teacher and feels incredibly blessed to be challenged and engaged by the vibrancy of youth.

She often sings about the romance of life and the downfalls of love, and offers her audience a bit of comic relief in-between songs. She shines brightest when performing live, and captivates the crowd, whatever the size, with her witty charm and truthful portrayal of life. It is not easy to stick Anna into a single genre. Her voice is raspy yet sweet and she writes music as if she were the lovechild of Adele and Regina Spektor; call it Americana/Folk-Pop with ballad undertones if you must. Anna Cutler was selected as one of ten finalists in the nationally recognized songwriting competition at Folks Fest in 2023. Her song "Candle" was selected out of over 400 entries and secured her a performance on the Main Stage at Planet Bluegrass.

She started writing music around the age of thirteen, and developed her vocal style by emulating jazz singers (Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday), as well as artists influenced by these singers (Fiona Apple, Amy Winehouse). Next to music, digesting the world through writing has been the most consistent thread in Olivia's life - her music paints stories of growth, transformation, and many themes that connect to the cycles of earth.

Patrick was raised in High Point, NC and was steeped in traditional Blues thanks to his Louisiana-born parents. Since the age of 18, he has called the Blue Ridge mountains home. Known for his guitar playing, he has spent the past years supporting artists touring the US, playing major festivals (FloydFest, Merlefest and Americanafest), and recording albums.
