Musically proficient like Joni Mitchell and Pinegrove, Barton writes music that is emotionally cutting like Sufjan Stevens and Fiona Apple. With reverence for the craft of songwriting, Barton writes and sings like she speaks: unapologetic, yet approachable. As a live performer, Barton is known for quieting a room with just her voice and guitar, turning crowds into confidants. Having shared stages with Lizzy McAlpine, Madi Diaz, Field Medic, Searows, and others, her songs carry what folk music has always carried: emotion, memory, simple truth. Her 2022 album, This is a Good Sign, produced by Collin Pastore and Jake Finch (Lucy Dacus, Ashe), led to a co-write with Lizzy McAlpine on “Older” and an invitation to support McAlpine’s 2023 North American tour. That same year, Barton co-wrote “if i were a fish” with her partner corook and the song reached millions; the New York Times called it “a forgotten track off the Juno soundtrack.” Barton’s latest album, For Myself and For You, was co-produced by Sam Skinner of Pinegrove in Brooklyn throughout 2024 released fall of 2025, and toured in early 2026. Skinner calls Olivia “a true visionary of a songwriter and a force of nature.” Built from full live takes, the studio album is as intimate and energetic as hearing Olivia play in the room with you. Barton recently completed work on a project with frequent collaborator Annika Bennett called Whale Songz. The recent EP, released in summer of 2026, features Leith Ross and Lennon Stella. “I make something permanent out of temporary feelings, public time capsules of my evolving inner life,” Barton says. “I think that’s brave, and I’m glad I’m stupid enough to do it.” Website | Instagram .stk-3852c32 hr.stk-block-divider__hr{width:100% !important;} Midge Midge is the solo project of songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Megan Clancy, originally from the DC area and now based in Portland, Maine. Blending indie-rock, pop, and folk influences, her songwriting explores self-identity, relationships, and the complexities of growing up. After beginning as a bedroom-pop project, Midge has evolved into an independent recording project shaped by Clancy’s continued exploration of songwriting and music production. A recent University of Virginia graduate and member of the New Hampshire Music Collective, she has performed throughout Maine and New England, including at Portland’s chapter of Sofar Sounds. Her latest self-produced single, “Funny if I Try,” was released in August 2026 and has received airplay on WCLZ.
