Wilder Maker, Dream Boss, Esterhazy, Kinsey

Wilder Maker is the songwriting project of Gabriel Birnbaum (b. 1986, Boston, MA) a multi-instrumentalist and composer living in Brooklyn, NY. He has performed on stage and on record with artists such as Sixto Rodriguez, Sharon Van Etten, Jens Lekman, DeVotchKa, Akron/Family, Miracles of Modern Science, The One AM Radio, and SKATERS and his projects have shared stages with Deerhoof, Gogol Bordello, Phosphorescent, and J. Tillman. Their most recent LP Year of Endless Light (2013) was described by eMusic's Jayson Greene as "a remarkable album, richly conceived and remarkably, wildly played." No Ripcord called it "a multidimensional tour de force," and Folk Radio UK praised it for "an incredible breadth of vision that defies musical genres."


KINSEY is the immaculately conceived lovechild of multi-instrumentalist Nick Kinsey, whose forthcoming debut LP lives "at the intersection of Bob Dylan, Wilco and Neutral Milk Hotel" (The Wild Honey Pie). Kinsey wrote, recorded, and produced the record in a chicken shack in upstate New York. Apart from the bass (contributed by The Step Kids bassist Dan Edinberg), he made all the sounds thereon. No stranger to the stage, Kinsey cut his teeth playing drums with the likes of Elvis Perkins in Dearland, AA Bondy, and A.C. Newman.
