Performance time: 8:10pm / From: Delaware

Immersing your ears in beautiful harmony, Kevin McCove delivers an experience that is blissfully unforgettable. He uses classical technique and vocal arrangement to deliver an introspective experience without ever generating a retrospective emotion. This artist is redefining Pop and R&B music and creating a movement known as 'The Kevin McCove Experience'
Although inspired by many artists, Kevin credits Michael Jackson as his greatest inspiration. “Michael Jackson had an unparalleled work ethic and I admire his attention to perfection,” he implores admiringly. Kevin McCove is constantly aspiring to surpass the limits of dedication and attention to detail in every aspect of his art form. Whether he is choreographing groundbreaking performances for audiences of thousands or providing voice lessons for a novice singer, Kevin gives every ounce of his being to the art of music. Kevin McCove is here to provide listeners with a sweet marriage of lyric, narrative, and vocal articulation in ways music has never been orchestrated. “The numerous layers and connections dancing between the lyrics, vocal arrangements, and instrumentals may go unnoticed by listeners that are new to ‘the experience’ but my music is a journey that every listener can enjoy. It’s a new experience every time for every person. The music is meant to create movement of the mind, heart, and soul. Join the movement.”

"Hailing from Brooklyn, Squires [Beat maker], The Cynic [MC] & Rapswell [MC] are...Pen Pals. Dudes hit us up to check their music and honestly yo, we were COMPLETELY blown away. Was this a classic super group using a pseudonym? Q-Tip, Ad-Rock, Edan, Slick Rick, Doppelgangaz with Prince Paul and [lost] Paul C production? It made no sense - how could a first release be SO well put together? There was/is something suspicious about it!! They hit us up with 2 tracks [of the 10 here] and we cut a deal there and then - didn't need to hear any more.
The second project is already recorded and will be droppin ASAP. PURE HERRING YO.......PLEASE ENJOY, RAP FANS..."
Performance time: 9:10pm / From: Philly
Style: Singer Songwriter
My name is Tim, I’m from Philadelphia, and I love conversation. It’s the only thing that helps me realize I’m not alone. It helps me connect with everyone, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. So it is only fitting that I am a musician. I found at a young age, that I was limited to the ways I could express the feelings in my head. They seemed to overtake me, and go off like firecrackers. When I was angry, I was enraged, I loved with all I had, and when I mourned, I let it go. So when the plan arose to pick up the guitar, I discovered that I could mold it as a conductor of my thoughts, and in return, found out I wasn’t the only one who felt these things. All I want if for people to sing with me. That’s the only reason I wake up. For the length of a song, when we are all singing, we aren’t separated into groups. I use this music as a way to let everyone know “I am feeling this”, and fortunately, with this connection, people who are singing, and dancing and feeling are returning with a “So do I”. I want this music to help people, the way music has helped me. Hybrid Theory let me know, it’s ok to be pissed off at a world you can’t seem to understand at the moment. The Devil and God are Raging Inside me let me know, that you could turn depression into art. This isn’t about making money, or getting girls. This is about translating love to as many people as I can, about seeing as much of this planet as I can, and most importantly, making people smile. So listen to my music, lets converse, and hopefully you’ll sing along. This is Saver.
