RUBy Velle and the soulphonics
Atlanta’s Ruby Velle and the Soulphonics are the heirs to the thrones of the old-school masters. But they’re more than just a group of revivalists trying to create a period piece. Powerhouse singer Velle and her band will settle for nothing less than bringing these classic sounds glimmering into the now with
a fresh, new contemporary sheen.
It’s this inviting and accessible bravado that has scored the band critical acclaim from outlets such as The New York Daily News, MTV, Paste, and more. In addition to their critical success, at a time when record sales are at an all-time industry low, the completely independent, DIY-minded Velle and the Soulphonics sold a quarter-million downloads of their single, “My Dear” on iTunes, landing them in the top 30 on Billboard’s Heatseeker charts and at
a stunning #4 on the iTunes R&B charts when their debut album It’s About
Time was released in 2012.
Hamish Anderson
Dubbed by BILLBOARD MAGAZINE as a “singer/songwriter and guitar hero,” heralded in Total Guitar's: Top 10 Best New Guitarists (2018) and featured in the August 2020 issue of Guitar Player magazine, Anderson commanded the attention of the blues and rock world with his 2016 debut Trouble and built upon that with his 2019 follow-up album Out of My Head (which scored an Independent Music Award for “Best Blues Album”). Both releases saw Anderson team up with Grammy-winning producer Jim Scott (Tom Petty, Tedeschi Trucks Band) and blended the traditional language of the blues with his own heartfelt compositions and classic rock stylings.
Drawing equally from blues, rock & roll and soul, Anderson solidified a worldwide presence touring and performing opening sets with artists such as Gary Clark Jr, George Thorogood & The Destroyers, Stephen Stills, Doyle Bramhall II, Los Lobos and a coveted slot as the opener on B. B. King’s final tour. His relentless gigging schedule also saw him performing at festivals including BottleRock, Mountain Jam, Summerfest, Telluride Blues & Brews Festival and more.

COLIN BRACEWELL
A versatile Minneapolis-based, Canada-bred singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, Colin Bracewell is paving his own fresh path within the Midwest music scene. His instrumentation sets Bracewell apart from other singer-songwriters of the same genre often adding gentle synths, a killer trumpet solo or a moody saxophone riff (of which he plays) to bring a jazzier feel that offsets lyrics of heartbreak (or amplifies them, depending on the listener).
Releasing his debut EP set for March of 2024, Bracewell collaborated with Minnesota-based bands Bad Bad Hats and Remo Drive to result in a catchy blend of indie-rock and intimate ballads. Bracewell has also had several sold-out shows at First Ave's 7th St Entry, airplay on Minnesota's The Current, Cities 97.1, KFAI, and several other Midwest stations, and is set to have his biggest show yet at the Fine Line March 14th for his "Cozy" EP Release. Colin's previous release,
"Making Me Crazy" was in heavy rotation on The Current in 2023 and his releases continue to be in regular attendance on their station.
Bracewell's latest single release (prior to the EP), "Julia", landed him a spot on Spotify's "Fresh Finds Canada" playlist for over 4 weeks as an independent artist.
Colin's 4-song EP, Cozy, delivers a taste of genre-hopping songs served with the pop hooks he is known for. The set was co-produced with Chris Hoge and saw Bracewell exclusively songwriting each track.
SĀDE FRAME
Sitting at a piano, Sāde Frame lives in the moment, wears her heart on her sleeve, shows her sense of humor, and tells her story. Her personality gleams just as brightly as her musical acumen does.

Leveraging impressive musicality and innate emotionality, she’s cataloging the 2020s coming-of-age experience in real time.
Sāde introduces this chapter with the single ‘L.L.L.L.LOVE”. On the track, organic percussion rattles over a soft keyboard melody as stark emotion courses through her delivery. She leans into a jazz-y cadence with delicate touch of a lullaby, going on to proclaim, “I hate to be a disapointment, but I don’t just give myself to anyone.”
The track first gained widespread attention on the Chinese-based app Little Red Book after it was newly introduced to the USA, garnering over 600k total views and earning her over 100k followers in its first three days alone.
