Croatoa "Start A Fire" Album Release Party w/ Hyperloops
Croatoa
https://croatoa.live/
CROATOA is a three-piece indie rock band from Wilmington, North Carolina, built on punchy bass lines, witty lyrics, staccato guitar work, and 90s verse-chorus-verse instincts. Based in the Princess Place neighborhood, guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Jeff Levensailor, bassist Colin Kern, and drummer Jay Bryant make sharp, energetic songs that pull from Pixies, Wavves, Ty Segall, Harlem, Violent Femmes, and Nirvana without settling neatly into any one genre.
Named after the word carved into a tree during the mystery of the Lost Colony of Roanoke, CROATOA writes songs about irony, love, loss, and existential nonsense, wrapping sincere emotional weight in sarcasm, character-driven lyrics, and hooks that tend to linger. Their debut LP, “Start a Fire,” was released June 1, featuring songs like “Clap Back,” “Start a Fire,” and “I Always Have to Win.”
Live, CROATOA is a high-energy beach-town bar band in the best possible sense: loud, weird, fun, and built to make people come back for the riff stuck in their head. The band is currently touring the album, writing new material, and building a backyard studio to track themselves and other bands in the Wilmington scene.

The daughter of an opera singer, she practically began performing in the womb and never looked back. Since joining both Actors' Equity Association and SAG-AFTRA in 1986, her career has taken her from musical theater stages across America to intimate cabaret rooms in Los Angeles and New York City, where she co-wrote and performed her own acclaimed one-woman shows.
After a hiatus to raise her family, Wendy returned to singing for a 12-year run fronting the pop, rock, and country duo Ginger Martini, performing throughout the New York and New Jersey club scene. Now, she’s stepping back into the solo spotlight with her brand-new musical cabaret show, One Monkey Don’t Stop No Show, debuting at Yacht Club in Wilmington, North Carolina, on September 18th w/ an encore performance on October 2nd.
