Zeek
With a voice you won't forget, Zeek, also known as "The Experience," dramatically draws listeners in with his truly one-of-a-kind, soul-stirring voice. He melodically weaves tales of life and love over lush arrangements and classic lyrical depth. As a vocalist, arranger and songwriter, Zeek infuses the best elements of Pop, Soul, Jazz, and Gospel music into a mélange that tugs your heart with honesty and prowess. At just 21, Zeek has written and referenced songs for major label artsts and roused audiences with performances throughout the country, including opening for major acts like Dru Hill.
Angela Everwood
Singer, songwriter and guitarist Angela Everwood is a rising star in the country music scene. Her album I'll Be Thinking Of You was recorded with some of the best talent in Nashville, including chart-topping producer Tom Paden (George Strait, Faith Hill) and Academy of Country Music Award winner Judy Rodman. Angela recently debuted music from the project at Suquehanna Bank Center, where she performed for the 92.5 XTU Anniversary Show, one of the largest country music festivals in the nation, alongside multi-platinum acts like Miranda Lambert.
Taragirl
If a single phrase could describe vocalist, songwriter and performer taragirl, it would be "the truth!" Her powerhouse voice, contagious energy and charismatic songs have earned the Philadelphia-based artist a reputation as an indie star. With two releases, multiple sold out shows, and opening slots for a slew of national acts, she's also been named one of ‘10 Artists to Watch' by Philadelphia Citypaper and featured on Billboard.com and The Daily News.
Lydia Rene
A classically trained pianist and accomplished musician, Lydia René’s sound is best described as smooth out-of-the box soul. Puckered with sonic surprises, it is infused with jazz riffs and alternative stylings that help take the listener to a higher musical plateau than that of the norm. In addition to performing at renowned venues nationwide, her accolades include "Bounce Worthy" ratings on SoulBounce.com as well as 6ABC's "Tuned In" Viewers Choice Award.
Modern Colour
Although they first presented themselves as Philadelphia’s answer to the deconstructed blues-rock sounds pioneered by Jack White and The Black Keys, Modern Colour expanded their sound by listening to hip-hop, neo-soul, Americana, and funk. They embraced these genres by working and performing with artists representative of each one. By the time they recorded their debut EP ‘Rally at the Summit’ in the Spring of 2012 they had already established themselves as a powerhouse band in the Philadelphia music scene. They did this by becoming one of the house bands for the Legendary Dobbs open jam sessions, as wells as opening for national touring acts. Their constant collaboration with other artists has led to a live sound that is full of sonic experimentation and the melding of genres.
The W.E. f/ Jaguar Wright
Legendary Philadelphia-based singer/songwriter Jaguar Wright is a pure original. Wright earned rave reviews for her performances alongside artist like The Roots and Jay-Z for his MTV Unplugged appearance, and she has continually wowed audiences ever since. Her debut album, Denials Delusions and Decisions, was issued by MCA Records in the early 2000s and was named Album of the Decade by The Associated Press. Today, her newly formed rock & soul band The W.E. is set to take the music world by storm
