Darka Dusty is a writer and musician. Born in Detroit, MI, Darka spent many years in New York City and London, England while she worked for the Economist and Jive Records. Darka was once one half of NYC-based Ukrainian music duo, “Darka & Slavko” producing popular records and winning “Best International Band” at the first non-Soviet Ukrainian Pop Music Festival. Darka sings, plays piano and accordion as a soloist or with several Portland bands. When she’s not performing, Darka runs a photography company with her partner, Miri.

She will do anything to get on a plane and go somewhere (anywhere) and loves talking to strangers. Emily has been known to release a belly-laugh so hearty that it will send the neighborhood cats beelining for shelter and solace.

Lyndsi Lambert is an amateur storyteller who doesn’t deserve to share a stage with the incomparable artists listed above. As an adolescent who hated growing up in Louisiana, she wrote songs and poems to help her cope, including one stand-out ballad describing how she’d murder her ex-high school boyfriend and his new girlfriend that she read aloud in English AP to an audience of terrified onlookers. While living in New Orleans, she performed a piece entitled “Ball Worship” as Luscious Lou at Esoterotica in response to the theme “Strange Love”. And while earning her MA in Women’s Spirituality in San Francisco, Lyndsi completed her thesis on the Major Themes Found in Contemporary Menstrual Art by painting herself in her own menstrual blood and howling naked under a full moon. In an effort to transition from a “shadow artist” to a real one, she’s currently working on a memoir that she hopes Reese Witherspoon won’t be able to put down.
