Artists, in order of appearance:
The seed for Drunken Logic took root when frontman Jake Cassman walked away from an Ivy League education to make music and form a band at Berklee in 2012. Drunken Logic brews an eclectic powder keg of alternative rock and indie folk with classic rock and pop influences. Songs range from folky reflections on growing up to bluesy barn-burners about corporate greed. The quintet released its debut album in 2013 and was named Musicians of the Year by Raw:Boston.
Nashville-based Tumbleweed Company strives to craft each song with care and exploration. The group Berklee alumni Maria Kowalski, Jeff Adamczek, Ryan Toll, Will Cafaro, and Jayme Tardiff brings listeners a sound that combines the comfort of the South with the adventure of the West, while blending the members' diverse roots, including folk, Americana, rock, and soul. Vocal harmonies ring over an orchestra of instruments in each song's story.
Kate Diaz, a student singer-songwriter and guitarist from Chicago, has released four acoustic albums and three singles, books her own gigs, and does her own website design. Diaz wrote a song for the U.N.'s International Day of the Girl, and raises funds for child cancer research with her song Christmas Smiles. She has performed at Kidzapalooza, Taste of Chicago, Milwaukee Summerfest, Earth Day Festival in Washington, D.C., and at Chicago venues including House of Blues and the Metro.
Driven by a shared passion to create music with purpose, the Western Den (HRR) is the collaboration of students Deni Hlavinka and Chris West. They blend compelling folk harmonies with ambient textures on their debut EP, Battle Hymns, and opened for Berklee associate professor of songwriting Melissa Ferrick on the Northeastern leg of her national tour. The Western Den is currently based in Boston, performing and working on a full-length album.
Los Rumberos de Massachusetts (HRR) Mexican guitarists Lito de la Isla and Angel Cespedes, and percussionist Paul Sefchovich, who met as Berklee students create a powerful sound combining Latin cultures with other influences like blues, flamenco, rock, dance, funk, and reggae. The bands unique style and energetic flavor attracts a wide range of enthusiastic followers in Mexico, the U.S., Latvia, Russia, and Spain, where it has performed with Juanes, Julieta Venegas, and Ziggy Marley.
Amy & the Engine, self-described as indie-folk-pop, formed at Berklee in 2014 and features the songwriting of student Amy Allen. The band performed at festivals throughout New England and appeared on TV programs and radio stations including Good Morning Maine, Good Morning Emerson, WCLZ, WCYY, WJBQ, and WMBR this summer. Amy & the Engine's debut single, I Got You, was released in July and a six-song EP will be completed in the fall of 2014.
Gabrielle Wortman and Berklee alumnus Jason Rosen formed Smoke Season in early 2013. Combining their musical backgrounds, the Los Angeles-based duo's folk and electronic-fused take on Americana has been steadily capturing the attention of fans and press. LA Weekly said of the group, Smoke Season aren't strictly traditional rustic revivalists: juxtaposing eerie roots rambles with more ethereal, electronic-pop interludes. The duo has released two critically acclaimed EPs, Signals and Hot Coals, Cold Souls.
