Stephen Paul Smoker
A Lancaster, PA native, musician Stephen Paul Smoker began his career at an early age, honing his craft as a touring musician and hired gun for bands like MewithoutYou and the Mint. After releasing Violent Sun / Violent Fun, Stephen joined forces with musicians Michael Kostal (Guitar), Bethany Smoker (Keys/Vocals), Evan Depue (Bass), Jaime Dull (Drums), Gerald Bailey (Trumpet). Ripe Fruit is the first collaboration involving the full band.

Rough House Puppet Theater
After headlining the 2011 National Puppetry Festival with Ichthyodyssey: a Fish Puppet Rock Opera, Rough House has turned towards small scale adult puppet theater. It's current show, Murder Ballads, is an intensely intimate penny arcade of five musical tales of murder. Through peepshow-like detail, Murder Ballads provides a harrowing, humorous and heartbreaking close-up of humanities most basic fears, and basest urges.
