JOSH SPINNER
Some artists take years to find their voice. Josh Spinner has already found his. At 22, the Chicago based singer, songwriter, and guitarist is doing something genuinely rare: writing songs that feel lived in and emotionally true, performing them with a natural stage presence that makes a room of strangers feel like old friends, and playing the guitar with a sophistication that stops people mid conversation. His influences — The Eagles, Jackson Browne, John Mayer — are not just names he drops. They are woven into the fabric of how he thinks about melody, narrative, and the space between notes.

GYPSUM SUNFLOWER
Southeast Wisconsin based musicians who blend genres of Neo Soul, Rock and Jazz Fusion!

BLIND HILL
Known for their electric live shows and unapologetic stage presence, Blind Hill has carved out a place in Milwaukee’s ever-evolving music scene, carrying on a legacy of loose, loud, and bluesy rock ’n’ roll. They channel crushing riffs and infectious grooves into self-reflective, narrative-rich songs, paying homage to the sound conjured by 70’s and 90’s heavy rock bands that came before them. Blind Hill is bound by a brotherhood that was forged through music; their live performances dissolve into a blur of sweat, smiles, and high-voltage energy, a ritual of chaos born from musicians who genuinely love what they do. All are invited to lean fully into the music and the moment!

OF VIRTUE
In the face of relentless internal and external change, OF VIRTUE has never wavered, forging a legacy that stands as a testament to the power of reinvention and a refusal to surrender. Since the band’s inception, their music – a punishing-yet-melodic mix of hard rock, metal, and alternative – has mirrored their ambition: unexpected and ever-shifting, but always firmly rooted in passion and raw emotion.

SAVAGE HANDS
Hailing from the DMV area, Savage Hands have positioned themselves at the forefront of the new wave rock scene taking over the country. Driven by powerful instrumentals paired with belting vocal hooks; the band has cut their teeth working with writer/producer Andrew Baylis (Jellyroll, Yung Gravy, Brantley Gilbert) to develop a truly fresh sounding catalog of music. With an absolutely electric live show, Savage Hands brings it all to the stage at every show. This is a band you will be adding to your daily playlists and concert schedules for years to come.

KINGDOM COLLAPSE
Kingdom Collapse create the soundtrack to survival. The San Antonio, TX hard rock band alchemize unfathomable tragedy, trauma, loss, failure, and stress into massive and magnetic anthems powered by pummeling instrumentation and arena-size hooks that remind you to never give up.

SORRY X
Heavy Rock artist from Phoenix, Arizona.

SHEARLING
Serving as a spiritual continuation of the now-defunct Sprain, Shearling exhibits the reunion of a now decade-old collaborative force between guitarists Alexander Kent and Sylvie Simmons. A subsequent recruiting of percussionist Andrew Chanover, bassist Wesley Nelson, and Keyboardist Elizabeth Carver filled out their orchestrally-minded roster. The band was mostly quiet for its first year of existence, avoiding live performances to instead focus on their brazen debut ‘Motherfucker, I am Both: “Amen” and "Hallelujah"…’ The record retains Sprain’s characteristic commitment to intensity, further mutated through a newfound lens of collagist approach. Featuring only a single, hour-plus long song, Motherfucker is a demanding exhibition of uncompromising ethos. Shearling’s aggressive live performances and meticulous recordings demonstrate an ambition, audacity, and emotional vulnerability that few contemporary bands can parallel.
