Vincent Michael
Vincent Michael is a singer/songwriter residing in Philadelphia. The songs he performs combine calming vocals with beautiful moments of introspection overtop large anthemic choruses. His music draws inspiration from the likes of Chris Stapleton, Angel Olsen, and Bruce Springsteen. Vince started working on his debut album after being inspired by a summer in Montana living in Glacier National Park. The sonic world he creates mimics the wonder and awe of that special time in his life, and his live show seeks to transport the audience to the front row of that formative experience.

Chris Rafter
Chris Rafter is a singer and songwriter from outside of the Philadelphia. He’s a local favorite known for his honest and compelling lyricism, anthemic melodies, and on stage charisma. His country, folk, and rock sound lends to stories about love, loss, chaos, the places he’s been, and the place he grew up in. He also hates the universally accepted language of artists bios. In fact, writing this one out felt like a knife in his heart, but the other option would be for someone else write it and make it cornier. So he chose the lesser of two evils.
