ABOUT THE ACTS:
SARAH DONNER: Sarah Donner is an indie folkpop songstress who has embraced her inner catlady. She works the stage with a powerful vocals, punchy guitar, and a candid stage presence. That Is A Pegasus (2014) is her fifth studio album released on her label CatLady Records. The new songs teeter back and forth between playful, rock, nerd core, and ballads, all tied together with bright melodies and driving, energetic instrumentals.
The "Sarah Donner and the Sleepy Kitten" video and "The Motherf**cking Pterodactyl Song" which was co-written with The Oatmeal catapulted Sarah into weblebrity status with over two million views on YouTube alone. Her music has been featured on Conan O'Brien's blog, NPR, Showtime, and CBS News.
She is a graduate of Westminster Choir College. After stretching her legs with musical theatre, she picked up a guitar, abandoned her classical roots, and started rocking out (with fantastic breath support). Sarah Donner's cold New England heart was transplanted to New Jersey where she fosters kittens when not on tour.
LUCIA FASANO:bio: Lucia Fasano is a comedian, musician, and writer from Los Angeles, California. She's the associate producer of the Portland Mercury's live late night show, Late Night Action, as well as a joke writer for both Late Night Action and the online humor magazine, The Higgs Weldon. Since moving to Portland, Oregon, she has gone on to write and perform in the sketch show the Dapper Squad Mystery Theater, co-found and host the feminist comedy/music festival in 2012/2013, The Grrrl Front and host the Magic Box Comedy Show at Funhouse Lounge. She's been seen all over performing at established shows such as the Comedy Palace in LA, Chatterbox, Picture This!, Midnight Mass, Wineshots, Comedy on Trial, Fly Ass Jokes, Weekly Recurring Humor Night, the All Jane No Dick showcase, and more. She has performed in the All Jane No Dick Festival, the New York Funny Songs Fest and the Pacific Northwest Women's Comedy Festival. Her live performance has been described as "sharply hilarious" and "whimsical", but trust her, she's also funny, too. She was recently named the funniest twitter by indie rock band The Thermals.

BARBARA HOLM: Originally from Seattle, Barbara Holm has performed at the San Francisco Sketchfest, the Bridgetown Comedy Festival, Bumbershoot Arts festival, and the Women in Comedy Festival in Boston. She has written for IGN, The Portland Mercury, Hahajk, and the Huffington Post. She has been awarded Time Out New York's Joke of the Week and was named "one of the best things about comedy in 2012 by the Comedy Bureau. Her comedy has been described as clever, unique, idiosyncratic, and exuberant. Seattle City Arts Magazine called her a "comedy wizard" and Seattle Stranger Newspaper described her as an "adorable wunderkind" and she describes herself as "running away from this question to hide under the desk right now."
THE DOUBLECLICKS: The Doubleclicks are a nationally-touring, Billboard charting nerd band with a cello, a meowing cat keyboard, and songs about dinosaurs, space and Dungeons and Dragons. Their YouTube videos boast over 2 million views and have been featured on Gawker, BoingBoing, io9 and more.
