In solo sets, maudlyn monroe hits the stage with an up-tempo emo feel—an electrified mix of "jazz Manouche" folk and NY 70's-inspired lackadaisical punk. maudlyn monroe's voice, with its three octave range, has been called "angelic" and "soulful", "bird-like" and "desperate", and lends to quiet folk contemplation, shocking soul, and raw punk sounds. With influences of old-time folk & bluegrass, soul & jazz, maudlyn monroe's sincere, striking original songs and subtly-crafted lyrics—along with charismatic performances of Cape Verdean morna/coladeira, French cabaret, Russian folk, and jazz standards on the banjo—have won stage time in Colorado, Texas, New York, Vermont, South Dakota, and Minnesota; on stages at the Lyons Folks Fest, Fort Collins' New West Fest and FoCoMX; at the Mercury Café, BKLYN's Trash Bar and Boston's Lizard Lounge (previously as slp).

Avant-Folk singer-violinist Emma Back uses a loop pedal to create lush layers of rhythm and harmony, accomplishing a sonic and poetic lyricism that reaches deep into the past and far into the future simultaneously. With lyric content that investigates how to heal personal and global conflict, "(Back's) charming sensibilities, excellent structuring and arranging, as well as her ability to confound emotionally will likely bring listeners back for repeat encounters." (Jordan Adams, Seven Days VT).
