Cosmic Turtle formed in early 2022 at Skidmore College as a group of young musicians striving to bring live music back to campus in the wake of COVID restrictions. The resulting band has been playing their mix of pop, indie, and good old-fashioned rock n’ roll on campus and in town ever since. Though their lineup changes a bit each semester as different students study off-campus, their high energy and commitment to having a good time remain strong.

Tops of Trees is a newly budding original music group growing roots in Upstate NY. The band has a drum and bass focused vibe featuring a soulful horn section, fervent guitars and classic organ, pulling you by the waist into a melodic funk pilgrimage.

Inconclusive is a pop rock band from Saratoga Springs, NY. The band consists of Skidmore students Julia Henslee (Voice), Armant L’Heureux (guitar), Talia Gordon (keyboard), Owen Kitchel (bass), and Evan Robertson (drums). the band started only a few months ago after friends Julia and Talia jokingly threw the idea around, only to realize they were both serious. After a bit of asking around, Inconclusive was born. Even though most of the members barely knew each other, a strong bond was formed quickly through the group’s collective love of music making.
