SUMMARY:Rachael & Vilray w/ Taylor Ashton
DESCRIPTION:Since their formation in 2015\, Brooklyn-based duo Rachael & Vilray have achieved a certain timeless quality with their singular take on traditional pop. Though rooted in the language of an earlier age\, their songs transcend nostalgia with wit and a flair for the theatrical. On their third album West of Broadway\, vocalist Rachael Price (also of Lake Street Dive) and guitarist/singer/songwriter Vilray evolve their music’s previous dreaminess to achieve a refreshing angularity built on left-of-center instrumentation (e.g.\, vibraphone and alto saxophone coasting above the moody strains of baritone sax and trombone). Produced by Dan Knobler (Allison Russell\, Bahamas)\, West of Broadway unfolds in a series of sharply drawn vignettes inspired by a recent fascination with classic musicals—bringing their luminous vocals to offbeat tales of love and heartache along city streets.

SUMMARY:Jon Lampley
DESCRIPTION:What comes next after 11 years with The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s house band? For Jon Lampley\, the answer is Notes To Self — his sophomore solo album\, out June 26\, 2026\, and a deeply personal statement from an artist stepping fully into the spotlight. With praise from NPR and The New York Times already behind him\, Lampley enters this next chapter with confidence and clarity. \nLampley has made his name as a consummate trumpet and sousaphone player\, singer-songwriter\, composer\, and bandleader\, blending jazz\, soul\, gospel\, and contemporary roots music. On The Late Show\, he performed nightly under bandleaders Louis Cato and Jon Batiste\, honing his craft and stage presence before a global audience. Produced by Lampley\, The Diner (Jordan Cohen\, Clyde Lawrence\, Jonny Koh)\, and Michael Thurber\, Notes To Self pairs introspective songwriting with the virtuosity\, joy\, and communal energy that define his career. The album reflects on ambition\, optimism\, faith\, and growth\, with standout tracks like “Greener\,” “JOY\,” and “Maybe.” \nBeyond late-night television\, Lampley has built a reputation as one of the most versatile brass players of his generation. He co-founded the high-energy jazz-funk ensemble Huntertones and has performed in amphitheaters\, arenas\, and festivals with jam-rock mainstays O.A.R. and pop-soul powerhouse Lake Street Dive. Long regarded as an elite collaborator and sideman\, Lampley has increasingly stepped forward as a frontman\, composer\, and creative force in his own right.

SUMMARY:Marc Roberge of O.A.R
DESCRIPTION:As frontman for multi-platinum-selling rock band O.A.R.\, Marc Roberge has performed for sold-out crowds at some of the world’s most iconic venues while helping build a remarkably devoted global fanbase. Three decades into O.A.R.’s career\, the New York City-based singer/songwriter/guitarist has also developed a distinct identity as a solo performer. \nRoberge’s solo shows trade the full-band energy of O.A.R. for an intimate\, stripped-back setting\, featuring reimagined O.A.R. favorites\, select covers and candid conversation with the audience. The format puts a spotlight on the deeply personal storytelling that has been central to his songwriting since O.A.R.’s formation in 1996. \nInspired in part by the tradition of classic country and folk troubadours\, Roberge continues to explore the more lyrical and roots-oriented side of his songwriting through his solo work.

SUMMARY:Pressing Strings
DESCRIPTION:Hailing from Annapolis\, Maryland\, the powerhouse trio Pressing Strings\, led by guitarist and vocalist Jordan Sokel\, has earned a loyal following with their genre bending blend of blues\, rock\, and folk\, wrapped in soul-stirring storytelling and toe tapping grooves. Their music resonates with the emotional grit of blues\, the laidback swagger of folk\, and the urgency of modern rock. \nWhether delivering heartfelt ballads or energetic anthems\, Pressing Strings weaves lyrical introspection and high-caliber musicianship that feels both fresh and familiar. Sokel’s smokey voice and intricate guitar work is complimented masterfully by a star rhythm section. Held down tightly by drummer Justin Kruger\, an energetic and charismatic performer whose style mirrors his outside the box personality and unique approach to the instrument\, and bassist Nick Welker\, a solid and stoic figure who picks melodic lines and chordal voicings that makes the trio sound full and lush. All three members sing\, adding harmonies reminiscent of southern California in the 70’s. Together they push the limits of what a trio can do\, and provide an immersive\, feel-good vibe that hits the audience’s heart as hard as it does the ears. \nRecently\, the band has been touring the US coast-to-coast\, headlining clubs and delighting audiences at festivals such as Palisade Roots and Bluegrass Festival\, FloydFest\, Annapolis Baygrass Music Festival\, Firefly\, Sweetwater 420Fest\, and Cavefest\, while sharing the stage with major artists like Gov’t Mule\, Toad The Wet Sprocket\, JJ Grey\, and Neil Francis.
