3dspacecadet (he/they)
3dspacecadet is an amalgamation of classical, disco and ambient music. Sounds best when driving to the moon, or at a club on Mars.
Blue Jay (he/they)
Justin Gerstle (who performs under the Blue Jay moniker) is a songwriter, poet, and transracial adoptee based in New York City. His folk-style tunes often explore themes of identity and belonging, using song to process loss and celebrate the ways in which lives intersect.
Justin serves on Keepsake House's 2026 Artist Advisory Board, and Blue Jay has previously performed in the Keepsake House show The Writers Room at Meadowlark Festival (2025) and Songs of Resistance show Building Belonging.
drvnkcig
drvnkcig (Sofia — she/they; JC — they/them) is a post-glam punk duo from both sides of the Hudson River, here to queer the rock you know and love.
Madi Smith (she/her)
Madi Smith is a singer/songwriter and wannabe stand-up comic known for her fun gay songs, witty lyrics, and musical theater influence. She has never been able to commit to any one genre, but she’s especially interested in exploring comedy in music and capturing the wide range of emotions that come with the queer experience. She’s also been told her music would sound great with a band, but for now it’s just her and her guitar against the world. (If you want to start a big gay band though, hit her up!!!)
Madi was a 2025 Artist in Residence and has previously performed in the Keepsake House showsThe Writers Room at Meadowlark (2024 & 2025), Long Story Short, Fingerprints, From Story to Song (2025), and House for the Holidays (2025).
Mykola (he/him)
Mykola is a Ukrainian-born, New Jersey–based synth-pop artist blending dark pop, Slavic melancholy, and understated queer storytelling into cinematic songs about intimacy, control, and self-reinvention. Fully independent since 2020, he crafts late-night synths and emotionally precise lyrics that feel both fragile and composed. He also serves on Keepsake House's 2026 Artist Advisory Board.
