Emily Afton
Emily Afton’s voice is transporting. Deep and smokey, Emily delivers her emotive and honest songs from a place that feels lodged in the past, rooted in a dreamy era. You can hear the Georgian lineage on her mother’s side, conjuring a Southern swamp, mixed with urbane pop relevance. Oakland indie-rock meets an after hours quest for mischief, with ribbons of soul and electro-pop interwoven.
Mama Crow
Peruvian/Spanish/Irish/Puerto Rican hybrid-born Carmen Maria Gutierrez, later to take on the name and medicine of the Crow. This New York native and California transplant is a self-taught guitarist and soulful songstress that evokes listeners on a deep, soul level. Her sound is a mix of rhythmic, funky finger picking and string slapping, guttural blues belts and quick lyrical flow with insidious phrasing. Mama C's sound has been dubbed as a love-child of Feist, Lauryn Hill and Nai Palm of Hiatus Kaiyote. Through music/art/dance/activism and community building, this artist is here to make a positive difference through her spirited message and powerful presence. She has worked with/collaborated/opened for artists like Michael Franti & Spearhead, Rising Appalachia, Karsh Kale (Tabla Beat Science), Killah Priest (Wu-Tang), Helena (Warner Bros) and many more.
Drea. M
Indie-noir songstress Drea. M commands the heart to listen. Soulful grit, haunting vocals, and richly-textured live vocal looping makes for a mesmerizing sonic treat. Her most recent EP, Down To the Wire, weaves orchestral, big-sound beats into stark, atmospheric landscapes, reminiscent of some combination of Tori Amos, Florence and the Machine, and Imogen Heap. What characterizes Drea. M's songs is the rare combination of sophisticated, cerebral lyrics and gut-driven emotion, and what continues to drive both her music and her performances is an unwavering honesty about what it mean to be vulnerable, powerful, and profoundly alive.
