Come cozy up in the backyard of Terrestrial Sound Studio to witness two new music acts in a night of workshop performances featuring duo projects by Oceaan Pendharkar and Georgia Lee Johnson.

Oceaan Pendharkar (they/them) is a musician who makes intimate alt-pop about love, identity, and self-discovery. With sounds reminiscent of Kimbra and Lucy Dacus, their emotionally resonant performances combine lush layered vocals, live electronic arranging, and infectious guitar hooks. Oceaan has played keys with artists like Tonye Aganaba, Kimmortal, and Ashleigh ball, and wrote, produced, and performed in the band Glow Motive with Anjalica Solomon, releasing their debut EP in 2023. Oceaan lives on the unceded traditional territories of the Musqueam (xʷməθkʷəy̓əm), Squamish (Sḵwx̱wú7mesh), and Tsleil-Waututh (səlilwətaɬ) Nations (aka Vancouver).

Georgia’s songs weave intimacy and belonging. Dancing between deep self-reflection and playfulness, her songs’ themes carry depth and resonance. Inspired by the female folk singer-songwriters of the past (Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez) and present (Anais Mitchell and Adrianne Lenker), her style blends more traditional folk sounds with imaginative instrumentation and arrangements. In her live performances, she harnesses vocal freedom to carry both power and vulnerability. Audiences are gathered into a brief moment of connectedness, harmony and remembering. Accompanied by guitarist Thomas Hoeller, the duo sound is rhythmic, groovy and lush, defying the bounds of genre.
