Lead singer Sammi Kantor, bassist Max Adams, guitarist Mike Landolfi, and drummer Joey Hess met in the attic of a three-story Wawa in Glassboro, where the local scene helped them develop their sound and continues to provide them with constant support. Their debut EP, “Mutual Toxic Positivity”, combines their various influences and went #1 on every Billboard chart (don’t look that up). The band is currently working on a new album, and when not writing or performing you can usually find them wrestling each other at basement shows or drowning in shallow puddles.Mules of the Cellar Mules of the Cellar is a four-piece alt-rock band from Atlantic City, NJ, consisting of guitarists Jamie Fortunato (The Washups) and Ryan Connelly (Robert’s Basement), bassist Angelo Tornetta (The Goons), and drummer/producer Michael Moore.

Since her debut in 2020, she’scaptivated listeners with her ability to blend vulnerability and grit, fearlessly exploring the complex sides of love, loss, and self discovery. Her highly anticipated EP Lovergirl, released this fall via Handwritten Records, showcases her evolution as both a songwriter and performer, cementing her place as one of pop’s most exciting voices. With each release, Rachel continues to push boundaries, bringing both heart and edge to the world she’s creating. Issadora Ava Issadora Ava is a multimedia artist from California. At the age of 6, Issadora was discovered to become a child actor in her first show which was the international tour of ‘The King and I’. She began homeschooling due to her career in acting for various tours, TV shows, commercials, and Broadway productions. Such exposure to the entertainment industry helped Issadora venture out into the music industry. Though she started writing music in her bedroom at 13, Issadora has been releasing music since her senior year of high school, in which her first self-produced EP, ‘You Don’t Live Here Anymore’ has reached over 430,000 streams. In recent years, she released her first two VEVO music videos for the songs, “Emilia,” and, “New York,” in which she edited, co-directed, and starred in. Such projects have demonstrated her confidence and passion not only in her music, but on both sides of the camera. As she gained more attention on social media, Issadora organically hit 1,000,000 streams on her single, “Can U Meet Me There” and has been featured on several Spotify Editorial playlists including ‘Fresh Finds Pop,’ and ‘OMW (on my way)’ in addition to her editorial placements on VEVO’s ‘Indie Pop’ for the release of her music video ‘New York’ in January 2024. As a photographer, some of her recent work has been featured in Forbes, Wall Street Journal, and Time Out New York. Issadora credits her family for supporting her creative endeavors from a young age. She hopes to inspire her audience by demonstrating that one does not have to be defined by a single path or identity.
