LineUp

Born in the Soviet Union, Regina Spektor moved to NYC in 1989, continued her classical piano training, and studied composition at SUNY Purchase. Known for jazz and blues-influenced pop, her breakthrough came with the gold-certified "Begin to Hope" in 2006, featuring hits like "Fidelity." Albums "Far" and "What We Saw From the Cheap Seats" both debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200. Spektor's music appears in shows like "Orange Is The New Black" and films like "(500) Days of Summer." She performed for the Obamas and supports various charities.
Alvvays, formed in Toronto, known for their indie-pop style and hits like "Dreams Tonite," collaborated with Shawn Everett on "Blue Rev." Despite setbacks like theft and floods, they've thrived, showcasing a vibrant, masterfully mixed sound.
Leon Bridges, born in Fort Worth, Texas, is a Grammy-winning soul and R&B artist known for hits like "Bet Ain't Worth the Hand." Signed to Columbia Records, his debut album "Coming Home" reached the Billboard top 10. He's performed for President Obama, opened for The Rolling Stones and Harry Styles, and won a Grammy for Best Traditional R&B Performance.
Dinosaur Jr., formed in Amherst, MA, by J Mascis, are known for their loud, feedback-heavy guitar sound, influencing late-'80s indie rock. Key albums include "You're Living All Over Me" and "Green Mind." Notable singles like "Freak Scene" and covers like "Just Like Heaven" built their legacy. After lineup changes and a breakup, the original trio reunited in 2005, producing albums like "Farm" (2009) and "Sweep It Into Space" (2021) with Kurt Vile. Dinosaur Jr.'s impact on alternative rock is iconic, with members also pursuing successful solo projects.

Known for originals and tributes like 2017's *Nat King Cole & Me*, he has collaborated with Kamau Kenyatta, Disclosure, and others. His 2020 album *All Rise* was Grammy-nominated, and his holiday album *Christmas Wish* followed in 2023.
