Fronted by Melody Easton and backed by Jon Birkholz and Dan Ryan, $100 Girlfriend is a Baltimore Gloom Pop trio with brooding beats and pop hooks. Sounds like Madonna meets Warpaint.

Jazz Rock quintet comprised of Derrick Michaels, Savino Palumbo, Dan Ryan, Alex Weber, and Mike Kuhl. Released two albums in 2016, titled Super Position and Leonard. Super Position is made up of compositions from Ryan, Palumbo, and Weber. Leonard is a three-movement suite composed by Ryan for the quintet along with strings and brass.

The Lunar Year is an Art Rock project based out of Philadelphia, PA. The group is led by front person Katie Hackett. Their album “Herodias” was released June 2017. The record includes single “Porcelain” which gained them a cult following, television placement and international features/radio play.

“The frontwoman of the folk/rock band The Lunar Year has the kind of vocal chops that push the music into ponderous places, letting it soar and crack at just the right moments. The lyrics, too, seem to well up from somewhere deep. The new album is Herodias and it’s worth your time.” - Philadelphia Magazine
