Twisted Pine is a trio comprised of virtuosic musicians with a taste for indie rock and pop, as evidenced by Dreams, their 2018 EP that features tasteful interpretations of songs by Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles and Blondie, as seen below.

Describing the music of Vera Sola is a challenge- poetic and unapologetic, beautifully arranged and distinctly unique. Vera Sola played all the instruments herself, resulting in a beautifully arranged collection that is her debut record Shadows.
