Henbane (from Philadelphia) was formed in the summer of 2023 by Kohoutek percussionist Scott Verrastro and bassist Griffin Vernor Drutchas based on the framework of 1968-1970 Fairport Convention, covering a repertoire of traditional British Isles folk ballads, lyrical gems from '60s and '70s songwriters, and original compositions. Henbane has been called “Dirty Three with Sandy Denny singing” and compared to acts such as Mazzy Star, Palace, and Neko Case. They’ve shared bills with Gwenifer Raymond, E, Frank Hurricane, Elkhorn and Stella Kola. Expect the debut single “Katarina” soon and the debut LP sometime in 2026.

Sagecraft - Long ago, the four genres lived together in harmony: rock, indie, pop, and emo. Everything changed when numetal attacked. Only Sagecraft, master of all genres, could tie them together, but when the world needed them most, they disappeared.
