DANA FUCHS

With her feet planted on both sides of the blues-rock divide, Dana Fuchs is one of the fiercest voices in modern-day roots music. She’s equal parts soul singer and bluesy belter, funneling her own story — a tale of small-town roots, family tragedy, trials, and triumph — into the amplified anthems and haunting ballads that fill albums like Bliss Avenue and Love Lives On. With her newest project, Borrowed Time, she digs deep into her southern rock upbringing, saluting the loud, guitar-driven sounds that sound-tracked her childhood years in rural Wildwood, Florida.

For fans who first discovered Dana Fuchs in the off-Broadway musical Love, Janis (where she portrayed Janis Joplin) or the Golden Globe-nominated film Across the Universe (where she sang The Beatles’ “Helter Skelter”), Borrowed Time also makes plenty of room to highlight her show-stealing voice. The UK’s Classic Rock Magazine praised those vocals as “juke-joint dirty and illicit, evoking Joplin, Jagger and a cigarette bobbing in a glass of bourbon,” while PopMatters enthused, “Dana Fuchs has one of those unmistakable voices, one perfect for exploring the confluence of blues and soul, the places where Otis Redding and Janis Joplin rub elbows and where the night and smoke get thick.”

Come to the third annual Fourth Wave Fest to hear her in action!

CARLOTTA SCHMIDT AND THE BOLD

For more than a decade, New Jersey based singer/ songwriter/guitarist/producer Carlotta Schmidt (she/they) has been wowing audiences with her soaring vocals, heartfelt lyrics, and vibrant guitar playing. Released in 2025, Carlotta’s sophomore album, Overthinker was entirely written and produced by Carlotta. Overthinker features her band, The Bold, and special guest musicians Dave Eggar (Coldplay, Lady Gaga, Norah Jones) and Lyris Hung (Beyonce, Quincy Jones, Indigo Girls).
Their first, selt-titled album delivered brand-new originals and classic songs performed with their signature jazz-inspired acoustic rock spin. Her album received rave reviews from fans, publications, and organizations, including The Alternative and the Jersey Shore Jazz and Blues Foundation.
Carlotta has played all kinds of music at all kinds of venues, including the Bitter End, the Stone Pony, House of Independents, The Wonder Bar, and Asbury Lanes, and recently returned from the first leg of her national tour supporting Overthinker.
She has performed with numerous local legends and national acts, including 11-time Grammy winning Americana singer/songwriter, Brandi Carlile, and Grammy-nominated jazz trumpeter, Jon Faddis. In 2025 Carlotta was a recipient of the Emerging Artist Grant from the Jersey Shore Jazz and Blues Foundation and in 2026 Carlotta was nominated for the Asbury Park Music Award for Emerging Artist of the Year (Individual). For this show, the Bold will consist of Mike Flynn (guitar and vocals), Paul Avrutin (bass and vocals), and Lee Finkelstein (drums).

Come to the third annual Fourth Wave Fest to hear them in action!

Carlotta is a nominee for an Asbury Park Music Award, as are many of our FWF alums! Congrats to all of the nominees!
