Louisa Stancioff
LOU-WEE-ZA STAN-CHOFF
Born and raised in the foothills of Western Maine, Louisa Stancioff learned to entertain herself by singing songs with her sister and playing the piano, fiddle, guitar and any other instrument lying around the house. Stancioff grew up learning traditional Balkan music from her paternal grandfather’s side of the family, and reveled in singing American folk and roots tunes with her friends. She moved through life nomadically in her early adulthood, living in upstate New York, Western North Carolina, Montana and California, and gathered her songwriting material along the way, playing in multiple bands throughout those years.
Currently settled in Midcoast Maine, she has toured this iteration of her indie folk band all across the country, headlining and opening for bands such as Blitzen Trapper, Pokey Lafarge, Darlingside, The Dead Tongues, Micaela Davis and more.
Backed by her talented bandmates, her intelligent and soulful writing pairs with a confident and catchy indie sound drawing on folk, rock, pop, and her own balkan heritage. Louisa’s debut album When We Were Looking was released in 2024 under Yep Roc Records.
How's About Charlie
How’s About Charlie has been a New England favorite since their formation in 2016, when a sweet crew of friends became known for their soul-stirring harmonies, intimate lyrics, and magnetic stage presence. Blending acoustic textures with modern storytelling, the band crafts songs that feel both timeless and fresh, capturing the emotional complexity of love, loss, and the human experience. Whether performing in cozy living rooms or under festival lights, How’s About Charlie brings a raw honesty and warmth that draws listeners in and keeps them close. This Grammy-ballot band has performed alongside Brenda Bennett, opened for Pete Francis of Dispatch, and recently released “Sweet”, an EP recorded and produced in the heart of Nashville's Music Row.
