In the middle of the 20th century a new music came into being. It was a fusion of pop, rhythm and blues and country. It cut across race and class, city and country. No body owned it or controlled it then. They called it rock and roll and music hasn?t been the same since. Johnny and The Triumphs make this kind of music: rockabilly, rhythm and blues and old time rock and roll. They make music to dance to. They are not an imitation 50s band. They are much more the real thing. Without pretense Johnny and the Triumphs capture the feel and spirit and drive of those early years.

Sirsy is an indie pop/rock duo, from NY, with LOTS of heart, soul, & sass! The Boston Globe calls them ''the little band with the BIG sound''. Sirsy is made up of 2 multi-instrumentalists: singer-songwriter & drummer Melanie Krahmer and her cowriter/husband and guitarist Rich Libutti. Mel also plays piano, flute, and bass on a keyboard with her drumstick. At live shows, Rich plays bass on a pedal board with his feet. So, these two manage to sound like a full band, and despite their multitasking, do it all with big smiles on their faces. It?s clear they love what they do. And that love is contagious when you see them live. Sirsy's fans have supported them through Mel's 2 bouts with cancer, the pandemic (which was filled with free sirsy live streams), and their 8 records. It's clearly a labor of love for Sirsy and their fans. Their energetic show often includes stories from the road, laughter, dance parties, and even nerdy jokes. Come celebrate life with them!

Borrowing its name from a Brazilian wild sugar-apple, Biribá Union features Mike Block (cello, vocals), Christylez Bacon (beatbox, guitar, rhymes) and Patricia Ligia (electric bass, vocals). The trio met through Silkroad?s Global Musician Workshop, initially bonding over their shared love of Brazilian music. They quickly began co-writing new music that draws on the freestyle theatrics of hip-hop and Go-go music; the effortless beauty of Brazilian forró and choro; the earthiness of American roots music, and the improvisational spontaneity of jazz. Mike Block is a Grammy Award-winning cellist, singer, and composer with a passion for cross-cultural collaboration. Hailed as ?one of the bravest, most intriguing musicians on the American fusion scene? (Gramophone), he has been a member of the Silkroad Ensemble for nearly twenty years and directs Silkroad?s Global Musician Workshop. Yo-Yo Ma calls Block ?the ideal musician for the 21st century,? saying, ?I?m always struck by his unique perspective on the world and his relaxed and confident approach; he takes on new music and new things fearlessly.? Christylez Bacon is a Grammy-nominated songwriter, storyteller, rapper, beatboxer, and guitarist from southeast Washington, DC. With a tall antenna and wide curiosity, Bacon loves exploring music in different cultural contexts and has collaborated with Hindustani, Arabic, and Brazilian musicians. He was the first hip-hop artist to be featured at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival and has composed for and performed with the National Symphony Orchestra and Princeton Symphony Orchestra. Patricia Ligia is an electric bass player and composer from Montevideo, Uruguay. In addition to playing in Colombian pop superstar Karol G?s touring band (with whom she has performed on Saturday Night Live, NPR?s Tiny Desk, The Today Show, and stadium shows around the world), Ligia is cofounder of Mestizas, a band that fuses flamenco and jazz with folkloric music from Latin America and the Caribbean. For her, Uruguayan culture makes it feel ?easy to be alive, spread joy, and share music.? Biribá Union makes a unique rhythmic cocktail with Bacon?s inner-city DC hip-hop and go-go rhythms entwined with Ligia?s subtropic bass lines. ?Everyone feels safe to switch roles and go to unknown places,? Ligia explains. Block agrees, saying, ?We all have a lot of room to breathe. We can each shapeshift yet magically never get in each other?s way.? Bacon says that meeting Block was ?like finding a twin spirit.? ?He?s an emcee in the original sense of the word. A true master of ceremonies who can take the crowd on a mission with him.?

Cody Fry?s music sounds like the moment in your favorite old flick when the film changes from black-and-white to technicolor in a rush of emotion. As his orchestration booms, you practically expect a Golden Age romance to unfold to the narration of his vocals. It?s warm enough to make you nostalgic, but Cody always looks forward as a singer, songwriter, composer, producer, arranger, and multi-instrumentalist. It?s why he?s quietly emerged as a phenomenon with hundreds of millions of streams, hundreds of thousands of TikTok creations, and widespread acclaim. Along the way he?s picked up two GRAMMY® Award nominations, an RIAA Certified Gold record, and sold out countless shows. You can keep up with Cody?s musical journey at codyfry.com or on social media.

King Midas has it all. He rules the kingdom of Phrygia with his wife, Queen Marygold, and their loving daughter, Princess Cassandra.
