Foxglove is a 5-piece indie folk/soul band from southern Maine, led by singer/songwriter Laura Fox, who writes about love, the lack thereof, and the in-between.
Her songs and her voice are soothing and soulful—if you’ve ever loved someone, you’ll surely connect with her heartfelt lyrics.
She’s joined by seasoned players:
Whitney Roy, vocals + acoustic guitar (Old Hat Stringband, Fox + Roy, The Hazel Project)
Jim Dozet, electric guitar (Tourist Attraction, Crown Jules, Press Project)
Roland “Lefox” Nicol, upright bass (Rhye, Rusty Boys, Jon Nolan & Good Co)
Rick Habib, drums (The Kate Redgate Band, Jon Nolan & Good Co, North Village)
The collaboration with her band has helped to reshape and grow her songs, bringing in a dynamic nuance—a rich, rhythmic reframe.
Leaving Irene is the brainchild of cousins Rocco (lead vocals, keys, guitar) and Jake DeRosa (lead guitar). The band was born out of grief when Jake’s father (Rocco’s uncle) passed away suddenly in the spring of 2023. Rocco turned to Jake and offered to help them both process the heavy and complicated emotions through music. After the industry veteran Rocco (41, formerly of The Naked Stills) realized the prowess of the musically reclusive Jake (28), their music became more than just a creative outlet for their shared pain and remembrance; it became a polished and influence-diverse product to share with the world.
