Born in Connecticut to a very Southern family and a love for Hendrix, Stravinsky, Shirley Ceasar, George Duke, Janelle Monae, and so many more, Finn Henry has always experienced the connection and blur between cultures and music. Finn sees their music as a sharing of a personal journey of how self, present culture, and the past informs and shapes creation. Whether it is performing as a vocalist or producing and engineering, Finn’s creativity is unmatched and exponentially growing.   

Langston Lynch is a singer, songwriter, and lyricist with a rich background in vocal jazz and acapella performance. Her song, “Child of the Sun” is an excerpt from her own original musical, Aubrey’s Pencil Box. A lament from an orange pencil about being the least favored in the box, the song captures feelings of rejection as well as the human urge to break out of restriction. While Langston has been composing for years, Aubrey’s Pencil Box is her debut into playwriting and musical theater composition.
