Tim Fite - called a “cultural gadfly†by the New York Times and “ferally original†by the New Yorker - used to be an artsy rapper. Now he's just artsy. He doesn't drink. He doesn’t do drugs. He prefers solitude/contemplation to hobnobbing/affectation. This preference affords Fite the time/freedom to make large scale, compositionally complex, allegorical, black and white drawings that occasionally have a musical or performative component. Fite believes creativity, communication, compassion, and hard work are the keys to fostering a more benevolent and inclusive society, and hopes his art can contribute to that end.

A longtime singer and songwriter, Robert Lester Folsom released his first studio album, Music and Dreams, in 1978. Although it did receive some local attention on its initial release, the record had limited pressings and Folsom was unable to complete a follow-up album during that time. It wasn’t until 2010, when the album was reissued, that Folsom’s music reached the masses. In 2014, a collection of his old home recordings was released: Ode to a Rainy Day. In 2016, he released his third album, Beautiful Nonsense.
