Yes, times are dark. Let's shine a light by joining together in community to celebrate music & connection, and fundraise to support education & marginalized artists.

We are thrilled to be celebrating the launch of our new studio nonprofit, Equal Measure Arts! With your help fundraising, we will establish a need-based scholarship fund to subsidize recording sessions and education for students and other under-resourced musicians. www.equalmeasurearts.org

Even if you can't make this event, consider visiting our new website and making a donation so that we can continue to support young, emerging, and marginalized musicians.

We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate this milestone than by welcoming YOU into our studio for performances by our current studio assistant and PATHS alum (Edelawit), plus our fellow educators from the Maine Academy of Modern Music (ladybrain), as well as an internationally-acclaimed husband-and-wife duo out of Ottawa (Moonfruits). Whether you're a regular attendee of Salon Night at Monaco Studios or you've been meaning to come check it out, you don't want to miss this one.

As always, this event is ALL AGES! Doors at 5pm, music at 5:30pm $15 adv. / $20 at the door (we recommend you buy in advance— limited capacity!)

(all proceeds split evenly between studio & performers, after a 10% donation going to the Equal Measure Arts scholarship fund)

Drinks & snacks available, or BYOB/picnic Limited parking—carpools encouraged

Led by partners Alex Millaire and Kaitlin Milroy, Moonfruits pen songs in both French and English, a reflection of their bilingual lived experience in their hometown of Ottawa. Theirs is the music of open-minded dreamers and diligent doers, confronting dehumanizing capitalism and environmental catastrophe with a rousing message of solidarity. This Stingray Rising Star, SOCAN, and Trille Or award-winning group has toured their transportive live show across Canada, the US and Europe. https://moonfruits.ca/

ladybrain is the alt-folk/pop project from the mind of emma page, a songwriter based in portland maine. her music sits with the surreal and the sincere, embracing both in a collage of dreamlike lyrical wanderings. https://www.ladybrain.net/
