ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Calliopi

Calliopi is a singer-songwriter from Norwalk, CT. Her musical journey began at age 4 with guitar lessons from her father. Calli’s love for music and performance grew through the vibrant Norwalk music scene and wide variety of open mics in Fairfield County. Calli is accompanied by Matthew Bean from IN SZN band. Inspired by Guitar Hero, he taught himself how to play guitar starting at the age of 6. 2 years ago, Matt was given an opportunity to play live and has been performing ever since. Together, Matt and Calli curate a mellow, silky smooth vibe.

Caravan The Band

“Caravan, the Band” is a jam and rock band known for its energetic live shows and dynamic jams, drawing inspiration from the likes of The Grateful Dead and Phish. The members of Caravan met at Weston High School in 2018, and since then, Caravan has taken to the Connecticut music scene, performing at venues including local favorites like Black Rock Porchfest, Milestone Restaurant, the Weston Memorial Day Fair, the SoNo Arts Festival, and the Westport Library performance series.
