Sparks
The Girl is Crying in Her Latte starring Cate Blanchet
The Sparks, a duo made up of Mael brothers Ron and Russell, have been producing unique music for five decades. They could have been «just another band from LA» (Frank Zappa), however, they have continually pushed boundaries with their music, exploring new styles from Glam to Swing and beyond. Their recent score for the film Annette highlights Russell’s unique voice, while Cate Blanchett proves herself as a phenomenal dancer.

Lizzy McAlpine
ceilings
Lizzie McAlpine, born in a suburb of Philadelphia, studied songwriting at Berklee College of Music before leaving in her junior year to pursue music full-time. This was during the Pandemic, when she also lost her father. Her first album, Give Me A Minute (2020), was not only critically acclaimed but listened to millions of times.
“Part of McAlpine’s increasingly far-reaching appeal is the mix of musical influences that have helped form her as a storyteller.” (Rolling Stone)

Rising Appalachia
Thank you very much
“The soulful folk-roots of the two sisters can be traced back to their parents, who prioritized culture and diversity, and to the grassroots music communities that dot the hills and valleys of the Deep South. They spent countless weekends at fiddle camps, immersing themselves in what they affectionately call “Appalachian trance music.” Leah and Chloe Smith have eschewed established industry norms and instead forged their own path by following their invitations and intuitions independently.»

«Listening to Lana Del Rey’s music is like diving into a cinematic dream world filled with heartbreak, romance, and nostalgia. She’s a true poet of our time!» (Bedo)
Lana del Rey (Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, born 1985 in Manhattan, New York) needs no introduction. She’s considered to be one of the best singer-songwriter of the 21st century, unique in her effort to recreate the music of the forties and fifties, which she lends her very own timbre.

Aly and AJ
Blue Dress
Another duo made up of two sisters: Aly (Alyson) and AJ (Amanda Joy) Michalka like to use the stage for good, enlightening their audiences about LGBTQ+ rights and the importance of voting. They’ve cut five studio albums, pursue individual acting careers, as well as working together. Their music comes from a Christian perspective, but they are not preachy. They are from southern California and play a guitar-driven mix of rock, punk, and pop.
