Musical Fabric... Stitched in Short Story...
East of the West is a modern, live-action comic book without the possession or hindrance of "one" main character.
Frankie Jah, Kevin O'Beirne, and Teddro Osso illustrate tales of morality (or lack of there of) with their unique brand of musicianship, while Roberto Chavez attempts to weave character based short story into the backdrop of imagination they collectively create...

Alright Junior
Set time: 3:00pm

 
"Philadelphia's own Alright Junior has been one of my favorite locals for years now."
- Wendy Rollins, Assistant Program Director at Radio 104.5 WRFF
 
“Alright Junior offer beautifully-arranged frenetic rock songs, doused with passion and finished off with a heavy dose of head thrashing. Lead singer Jace Miller is a born performer, and gestures frantically, grabs the microphone for dear life, and at one point even dives into the audience, almost knocking over an unsuspecting spectator. The entire band is all over the stage, thrashing harder than any band I’ve seen. I’m struck by the comparison of children on a Moonbounce.”
- Philly.com
 

 
Sonnder

Set time: 2:00pm

 
Sonnder is an experimental indie rock band based out of Philadelphia, PA. Their music spans the vast genre of alternative ro...ck, encompassing sounds from punk and electronic to ambient and heavy rock influences.

The single “Too Bad You’re Not In Love” has gotten a lot of great praise, and has been the cause of a number of exciting opportunities, including a live performance on Radio 104.5! The band is currently in the midst of a year long singles project in which each month of 2015 will yield a brand new song available through the band's website and all online music distributors. The January single "Drifter" received great praise landing air time and a write up from WXPN's The Key. Overall, Sonnder plans to continue to stay positive and honest, pushing themselves artistically while broadening their horizons.
 

 
 
Nik Greenley Band

Set time: 1:00pm
 
"Without hesitation, I will declare Nik Greeley as the best frontman in Philadelphia. Greeley is a smooth criminal, a funk s...oul brother, and yet 100% punk rock. He’s simultaneously foxy and frightening."
Wendy McCardle, The Swollen Fox
 
"Greeley – the ultimate showman – growls, pumps his fist and slides to his knees, where he arches his back and pleadingly wails before the girls sitting on the tapestry table. He frantically emotes for one more song, seemingly burning through all of his energy and passion, and then retreats to the back of the courtyard and his beer."
George Miller, Jump Magazine
 

 
 
Soggy Box
Bluebond Guitars School Of Music
Set time: 12:00pm



Soggy Box is band from the Bluebond "Rock" Music School

"one of the best funk acts to emerge from the East Coast in a long while" - Simon Eddie, HOMEGROWN MUSIC NETWORK

“the whole damn band is a pack of rhythm devils … a clear case of a half-dozen souls consumed by percussion poltergeists, and there are only two things they could have done: call an exorcist or form a kick-ass jazz/funk band. Fortunately for us, The Royal Noise gave in to the beat beast and did the latter.” - Brian Robbins, JAMBANDS.COM
