  OLIVIA MANCINI (Washington DC)
  www.oliviamancini.com
  DC native Olivia Mancini’s roots and rock songs jump with the raw energy of great ska, always wrapped around her distinctive and melodious voice. Backed by a rhythm section of Antonette Goroch (Liesl's Wet Dress/Amazon Mollies) and Michele Kappel-Stone (The Kirby Grips/Tippy Canoe)
  
  The CUPCAKE DIARIES featuring Tippy Canoe & AntonetteG (Oakland)
  www.tippycanoe.net
  www.antonettegoroch.com
  The Cupcake Diaries are the touring duo of Antonette Goroch and Michele Kappel-Stone (aka Tippy Canoe).
  Sister-like harmonies and a merry-go-round of guitar, ukulele, washboard, and bass propel their Americana sound. The name was derived from their first tour’s final destination: a cupcake bakery in Olympia, WA and “The Cupcake Diaries” stuck. On their musical journey they combine a thirst for exploration and revel in the delight of their colorful lives like Thelma & Louise on a sugar-high. They each have a background in power-pop and melodic punk to add a sharp edge to the sweetness.
