Stone Soup Coffeehouse presents two cutting edge artists this Saturday night, April 26, with performances by High Tea and Youth In A Roman Field. The show begins at 7 p.m. at the Music Mansion in Providence. Tickets are $22 and can be purchased in advance at the website.

High Tea, the y'alternative folk-punk duo hailing from Massachusetts, is a concoction of sweepingly soulful harmonies, guitar riffs to knock your socks off, and a refreshing blend of old blues and new rock. Isabella DeHerdt and Isaac Eliot have come together to fill spaces with homegrown storytelling and Lumineers-esque vocals. Their songs are ripe with Americana heartbreak, and tell tales of growing up, going wild, and always coming back to the ones you love.

Their previous releases have been featured on playlists, radio shows, and publications like The Boston Globe, The Greenfield Recorder (among others). The title track of their EP Old Cowboy led them to be chosen as one of WBUR’s top 4 Massachusetts Tiny Desk entries of 2022. Their most recent full-length release, The Wick And The Flame, blended the ambience of groups akin to Bonny Light Horseman with harmonies reminiscent of Crosby, Stills, and Nash, instrumentals that evoke memories of The White Stripes, and stories which build on the folkloric lineage of iconic writers such as the Indigo Girls - creating a new sound wholly unique to High Tea.

Youth in a Roman Field is the surrealist folk project of musician, writer, teacher, and advocate Claire Wellin. The band’s progressive sound (described as a combination of “Appalachia, cayenne pepper, and ghosts’ and ‘like Radiohead but also folk music’) is reflected both in their inventive recordings and intimate, endearing live performances. Sweeping vocals, dynamic string loops, woven, textured guitars,and percussive bass come together to create music that gives the audience space and time to feel, reflect, or just take a breather.

They started in Chicago, but moved to and reconvened in New York. The band performs in multiple formations, adapting show-to-show from solo to trio to full band.
