That's the point! Maeko:Never one to be defined by a label, Maeko is as genre-less as he is independent. As if sewing an heirloom blanket, Maeko infuses pieces of himself into everything he crafts. Our recommended track: Cool Sectiontoo:Hailing from Queens, New York, singer/songwriter Sectiontoo prides himself on diverse musicianship, while maintaining consistent connection with his growing fanbase. Sectiontoo and his production partner, identity crisis, deliver moody strains of emotionally-driven R&B, blended with soulfully constructed lo-fi harmonies.Our recommended track: Come See Me Tonight Retrograded:Retrograded is the solo project of California born, Brooklyn resident Jackson Klarsfeld. Inspirations include feeling cozy, film grain, light through trees, and figuring it out as you go.Our recommended track: Hi, I Miss You STEFAN THEV:While STEFAN THEV has been making music for the better part of the last decade, he started from scratch in 2021. Reaching a point in his artistic journey where he had created himself anew, STEFAN’s freshly renovated catalog is one that stands with vast formidability. Making use of a post punk style of instrumentation, and coating it with a fluttering array of vocals that contain a high prevalence of energy, STEFAN is an all-encompassing artist!Our recommended track: ghouls! zombies! skeletons! https://www.ticketweb.com/event/music-youre-missings-upnextfest-sonia-tickets/12678025?pl=mideastclub&REFID=Brendanjeannetti
