Stone Cold Grace

STONE COLD GRACE is the pseudonym of indie folk singer/songwriter Sara Johnson. Compared to the likes of Joni Mitchell, Patti Griffin and Allegra Krieger, Johnson weaves intricate stories of love, loss and becoming into delicately crafted songs. She now resides in Philadelphia and is active in the local scene there. Her most recent release was a collaboration with Final Girl Records under their Zodiac Series. “Late to the Party” recounts a falling-out with a loved one on the way to a party, closely after graduation.

Best Bear is all about understated indie-rock, ethereal dream-pop textures, and heartfelt lyrics. At times lush and oneiric, at others raw and unapologetic, the band's songs feel like a genuine portrait of the member's life-long love of music. However, there is also an inclusive, community-driven element at play. Connecting with the audience and other artists drives the mindset of the band, which proudly identifies with the LGBTQIA+ community and values. Best Bear has released two well-received singles over the past few years, but the musicians in the band have continued to perfect their chemistry as a unit. They successfully released their debut full-length album "When" in late 2022, which has undoubtedly been another milestone in the band's discography and musical journey. Fans of artists such as Phoebe Bridgers, The Beths, Soccer Mommy, or Pinegrove should definitely tune in!

Harlee Torres is a bassist and songwriter in Philadelphia and NYC. Her influences pull from the likes of Portishead, Willow and Steve Lacy.
