Jake Blount with Stefan Weiner

Stefan Weiner is an NYC-based queer indie folk singer-songwriter. He mixes the immediacy of classic songwriting with the intimacy of a quiet conversation with a friend. He was a Top Shelf finalist in NPR’s Tiny Desk Contest 2024. Stefan’s work has received critical acclaim in publications like Forbes, The Advocate, American Songwriter, among many others. He has also shared the story of his journey through medical mystery and back to music on various podcasts such as This Is Actually Happening and RISK!
Jake Blount is an award-winning musician and scholar based in Providence, RI. A specialist in Afrofuturism and string band music, Blount has synthesized his academic and artistic pursuits into a performance practice that has taken him to Carnegie Hall, Newport Folk Festival, NPR's Tiny Desk, and beyond. Widely known for his experimental interpretations of traditional material, Blount tours internationally as a solo artist and a member of the Black string band New Dangerfield. His music challenges audiences to confront timely and difficult questions: what is our relationship to the planet and to the dead, and who is allowed to be human?
