Brother Francis and the Soultones
There was a legendary musician who coined a term 'electric church' in reference to the live music experience. The vibrations of the electric guitars, the drums, and the speakers equating to the energy in the room. We all have an appreciation for music, the beautiful sounds that reflect our humanity. The love and pain, wrong and right, hot and cold, day and night. These sounds embody the energy of inspiration flowing naturally as the seasons. Soul, for its heart, its sweet surrender, and joy. Rock, for its raw emotion, epic heights, and foundation. Funk, for its groove, its ass shaking, and mash potatoes.
The Grooveliner
The Grooveliner was formed in February 2015 with the idea of keeping all the avenues of creativity open by not labeling themselves as a genre-specific group. Instead, The Grooveliner brings everything to the table with one consistent theme, IT MUST GROOVE! With their current focus on Funk/Latin/Rock/Soul, The Grooveliner is comprised of six seasoned (funky/salty/sweet) St. Louis musicians with different personal and musical backgrounds. Their goal is to be as musically diverse as the people that make up the great city of St. Louis. So give them your ear and let The Grooveliner take you on a musical journey unlike any other.
Hillary Fitz Band
Hillary Fitz is a Saint Louis based singer-songwriter. Her style is a fusion of indie-folk, bluegrass, and blues influences.
Her guitar-playing combines elements of bluegrass and jazz, to form a unique finger picking style. Her vocals draw inspiration from jazz & soul female vocalists whom she admires - such as Billie Holiday, Regina Spektor, Aretha Franklin, Erykah Badu, Sarah Vaughn and more.
Although she does enjoy playing covers, her passion for music is fully expressed through her songwriting. Her original music is a reflection of her experiences and observations. She learned from an early age that song-writing is a powerful tool for making sense of the good, the bad, the beautiful, and the craziness of this world.
