 Brothers & Sisters is an Indie Blues band based out of Philadelphia. Always keeping their ears open for new ideas, the members of the band focus their influences into a colorful blend of Blues, Rock, Fusion, and Jazz to create a sound uniquely their own.  The band has extensive live experience, having played many famous Philadelphia venues including The Union Transfer, The Legendary Dobbs, and World Cafe Live (Upstairs and Downstairs). This live experience, along with the original music from their newly released album From Earth, ensures a show that is both entertaining and rich in quality music. The band's goal is to unite people through the love and joy they put into each song, and to introduce a new generation to the brilliance of Blues and Rock & Roll.



Cold Roses - 8pm
www.facebook.com/coldroses

It’s rare in today’s music to find a band that embodies the swagger of rock and roll, groove of Philly-soul, heartache of the blues and folk-esque storytelling quite like Cold Roses.
Honing their signature sound and electrifying audiences along the east coast for the past year and a half, Cold Roses self-released their debut LP “No Silence In The City” on November 1st, 2014. Produced by Webb and Clancy, and recorded at Miner Street Recordings, the band implemented a more “traditional” recording approach by performing each song live to analog tape, emulating the energy and intimacy of their live shows. The result is an 11 song “tour de force” album that showcases the band’s versatility and “demonstrate[s] what it means to live and breathe the essence of rock and roll…this is a dirty, soulful, wickedly fun album” (ThatMag). 
Whoever said rock and roll was dead must have just given up.

Modern Colour - 7pm
www.facebook.com/moderncolourmusic


While bursting onto the Philadelphia music scene as the city’s response to the deconstructed blues-rock pioneered by Jack White and The Black Keys, Modern Colour expanded their sound by experimenting with different genres and working with artists representative of each. Though the band is still a straightforward and in-your-face rock n’ roll group, a closer listen reveals layers of hip-hop, neo-soul, R&B, Americana, and funk influences hidden beneath the blues bars and driving drums.
During the writing, rehearsing, touring and recording of their follow-up eponymous album, Modern Colour opened for acts like Tom Keifer (Cinderella), guitar greats Davy Knowles and Joe Robinson, Macaulay Culkin's band Pizza Underground, and The Roots. The band also found themselves receiving local radio play as the Artist of the Month for 93.3 WMMR as well as featured on Clear Channel’s Radio 104.5. Modern Colour also spent a year as the house band for the famous Philadelphia venue, The Legendary Dobbs, hosting its weekly jam sessions. Modern Colour played regularly up down the east coast, most notably in Boston, NYC, Philadelphia, and Washington DC. The band’s commitment to their music and to each other has proved to outsiders that this is a hard working band and a band that is here to stay and deliver.

SelfHelpMe - 1pm
www.facebook.com/selfhelpmefan


JD first set foot into the music industry as the guitarist of Valencia, the Philadelphia-based pop-punk band who has released three records from 2004 - 2011; two on I-Surrender Records and one on Columbia Records. In the years after Valencia, JD experienced a journey of self-discovery through self-awareness, which lends to his stage-name, selfhelpme. In 2014, he began to compose his own music on top of contributing to other music projects (Mosey, James Kelley Band, Kelley Plante). Under the name Morockan Music, he released his first demo's in Spring 2014 and his first EP in January 2015, and in June of 2015 he released his second EP under JD Perry. While he has seen much growth in one year of songwriting on his own, he knew there was a much greater potential and sound to be unlocked within his music. Fortunately for JD, his lifelong friend Shawn Dorsey knew this, too, and approached JD in December 2015 to join forces to create Know Hope Records and provide a platform for JD to release his music amidst a budding music community.
The name selfhelpme can be best described as this: "self, help me." It is a true representation of JD's path, his mindset, and his music.
