All the way from Madison, WI, LINE bring their east coast tour to Peterborough!

An indie pop project unafraid to stretch and play with labels, LINE weaves singer-songwriter sensibilities with multi-genre arrangements. After playing with a full band for several years, vocalist/songwriter Maddie Batzli and guitarist/producer Charlie Koz are releasing The Woodside Sessions EP as an acoustic duo in September 2025. This new release centers vocals drawing comparison to Natalie Merchant, Enya, and Dolores O’Riordan (of the Cranberries,) and arrangements reminiscent of Bon Iver and Sufjan Stevens.

"Midnight Betty" is Vermont-based musicians Chelle Martinez (vocals, guitar) and Oriana Barros (vocals, banjo, keyboard), bringing you a variety of folk, country, indie, and pop covers and originals. Their music is adorned with shimmering vocal harmonies, inspired by the styles of Lucius, The Wailin' Jennys, and The Secret Sisters. While their songs run the gamut from woeful to whimsical, Midnight Betty has developed a signature style that makes each arrangement and performance uniquely their own.

The Rear Defrosters are a free-wheeling honky-tonk Americana dance band. Since their founding in 2012, the Brattleboro, Vermont-based band has played hundreds of shows from dive bars to barn dances, DIY pop-up shows to town squares, and state fairgrounds to hippie music festivals. The band operates with a rotating cast of all-star musicians, and their deep repertoire pays tribute to the greats of country music from the last century, from Jimmie Rodgers to Waylon Jennings to Dwight Yoakam. In 2018, Lost Honey Records released Gentleman Farmer, the band's first EP of original songs, penned by singer/guitarist Michael Roberts and recorded live during a single wintry recording session. Since 2021 they have hosted a regular honky-tonk night at Nova Arts in Keene, where they invite local and nationally-touring musicians to sit-in and sing honky-tonk classics, golden oldies, and 80’s country anthems. Their debut full-length album is due out in 2025.
