Born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina, Watson’s YouTube career began with the creation of the sketch comedy group Kids w/ Problems in 2014. In the summer of the following year, Watson began collaborating with Ryan Magee and Daniel Kyre on their pre-established sketch-comedy channel Cyndago. During this time he also joined the duo as an editor for the Let’s Player Markiplier. On April 12th, 2016, the duo announced their next joint venture: SuperMega, a YouTube channel with a heavier focus on gaming, with a weekly podcast and occasional live-action vlogs, sketches, music, and more. In mid-2020, after releasing several comedic rap songs and Christmas-themed covers, Watson pulled through with OUCH!, his first serious musical endeavor. Made in isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic, the EP melds slick electronic/pop production with Watson’s smooth vocals to create a chill, poppy experience. ————————————————— About Ben Beal Facebook | Instagram | YouTube Ben Beal is a 24-year-old lyricist from the suburbs of New York.

In July 2021, Giacomo released “The Groove Sessions”, a compilation of Funk and R&B covers recorded with renowned musicians and singers from all over the world like Brandon “TAZ” Niederauer, Phoebe Katis, Jessica Burdeaux, George Collins and Augie Bello.

She combines her smooth, powerful, technically-informed voice with addictive hip hop and electronic beats and complex arrangements. Her sound is a dynamic blend of several genres but ultimately establishes a strikingly authentic niche all its own – rich with melodic contour, intricate harmonies, and deeply personal but anthemic lyricism. Kelly has released six albums and EPs and has shared the stage with St. Paul and the Broken Bones, Moonchild, Becca Stevens, Monophonics, Neal Francis and Georgia Anne Muldrow. She has amassed over 800k listens for her single “California” on streaming platforms worldwide while her singles “Maybe” (2021) and “Let You Go” (2023) were featured on Chicago’s Vocalo Radio. Kelly has uplifted, inspired and energized thousands of ardent concertgoers at hundreds of live shows with her immersively freeing performance style.http://www.taylorkelly.bandcamp.com/

Cherubs ~ A Deer A Horse ~ RILVA
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM Cherubshttps://cherubs.bandcamp.com/A Deer A HorseBathed in dim lights and fire baptized on well-trodden stages, A Deer A Horse wear the grime, grit, and gusto of hundreds of shows and countless hours in the studio like a badge of honor. Coming up out of Brooklyn, the band conjoins rock, metal, and punk in an unholy union praised by A.V. Club, Consequence of Sound, Village Voice, and Revolver who described them as “somewhere between the Melvins, Helms Alee, Red Fang, and Sleater-Kinney.” After stoking buzz underground, the group only sharpened their edges with unnerving melodies and cathartic dirges on their 2022 full-length debut album, Grind. Hot on the heels of their recent European tour, and a tour out to Caterwaul Fest, you can find them playing several regional shows in the Northeastern US.http://www.instagram.com/adeerahorsebandhttp://www.adeerahorse.bandcamp.com/https://open.spotify.com/artist/3z1jofa0BmNiO1oN00XirVhttps://www.facebook.com/ADeerAHorse/RILVASludge-punk / Noise-rock from Philly/Wilmington.Count von Count & Wally dunes, just keepin’ it rollin’.https://rilva.bandcamp.com/album/rilva
