Sidney Bird Interview

At only 18 years old, Bella Rios already has a musical past life. After years of exclusively performing covers, she spent her high school years releasing rock-leaning originals, inspired by the classic records she was raised on. “My parents would wake me up by playing Led Zeppelin, Heart, Fleetwood Mac,” Rios says. “It brought my family together.”

At the same time, she traveled and performed with professional children’s choirs; all while receiving classical training in both voice and piano.

However, her diverse musical background led to a bit of an artistic identity crisis, which inspired her to attempt songwriting in every imaginable genre, determined to find her sound. Bella's upcoming singles are the successful products of that process: moody, powerhouse pop songs with an edge.

As a fan of long-format interview shows Dan Drago has created Philly’s longest-running podcast in the vein of Charlie Rose, Terry Gross, and Marc Maron; “I love what comes out of taking the time to sit and talk with someone for longer than a few minutes. Everyone's got a great story, you need to sit still long enough for them to let it out.”

A former touring musician, Dan now manages the 25 O’Clock.

Love? said the Commander is a duo from the 'PhilaJersey' area made up of Kate Hall (vocals, guitar, violin, and percussion) and Chris Bishop (guitar and bass). The pair met in the winter of 2018 via a Craigslist ad, and since then they've been embracing "maximal minimalism" in order to create an indie rock that will make you feel stuff. Their 4th EP, 'Bones,' is available now.

'Bones' EP (out 2.2.22), which was recorded live in one day with one microphone at the historic Wayne County Court House in Honesdale, PA.

Archpalatine - One of the freshest new artistic voices standing out amongst the backdrop of the City of Brotherly Love’s many multi-faceted and musically talented artists. Archpalatine the singer, songwriter, pianist, performer, and charismatic band front-man Derek Anthony Wilson is poised to not only create a lane for himself and his bandmates (Anthony Pompey - vocals, Aaron Wolf - percussion, Ben High – bass, and John Palmer - Synths/Direction) but also blaze a trail for creative risk-takers, soulful storytellers, and theatrical musicians who challenge the old guard of musical gatekeepers.

Wilson is a classically trained concert vocalist, National Marian Anderson Historical Society scholar artist, and internationally touring musician whose accolades both on and off-stage are only rivaled by his desire to use his musical platform and gifts to initiate and support social change, engaging spirit, and talent, and course ambitions within the musical landscape. With a penchant for beautifully and seamlessly blending genres, Archpalatine sires a sound that is just as difficult to pigeonhole into one category as it is to forget.

Archpalatine breaks down the genre to create a new sound that may eloquently and appropriately be called “Histrionic Cosmic Soul”.  The feel-good music gifted to the audience at an Archpalatine show offers a long-time abandoned experience that can be enjoyed by every group of people from all walks of life, every taste in entertainment, all preferences and interests, and moves the soul, be it in the form of smiles on faces to dancing out of your seat.

Archpalatine infuses his musical presentations with theatrics traditionally reserved for stage shows and are reminiscent of large-scale Broadway features — be they performed on a grand scale, in intimate rooms, or at the trendiest outlets.  Performances by this musical powerhouse develop a rapport with the audience, encourage audience participation through call & response, and incorporate danceable rhythms.
