Progger-
What began as a jam session at a rehearsal space in Austin has become a tri-coastal collection of gifted music-makers whose captivating live performances and studio releases have garnered acclaim from fans and publications around the world. Progger is held together by a passion for music that balances sophisticated harmony and melody with visceral beats and riffs. Through four critically-acclaimed releases and live tours supporting acts like Parliament/Funkadelic,Snarky Puppy, Ghost-Note, and the Funky Knuckles, Progger has developed an international following of devoted fans.

During the nearly record-breaking Texas summer heat of 2011, composers Brian Donohoe and Matthew Muehling began playing weekly sessions with bassist Nicholas Clark, drummer Daniel Watson, guitarist Carter Arrington, and trombonist Paul Deemer in Austin. Despite the city's deep music community, Muehling, a guitarist, and Donohoe, a saxophonist and keyboardist, had found relatively little of the progressive jazz-funk-rock fusion that they loved, so they brought some friends together to make their own. A year-long residency at the legendary One-2-One Bar allowed Progger to develop the music that would become their first two independently-released albums, "Beatmaker" and "Populace."

Despite huge life changes in the following years-- some band members moved across the country, others started families-- the band was determined to continue developing the unique sound it had started in Texas. Progger's core began collaborating with musicians in New York and Los Angeles and caught the attention of Ropeadope Records, who facilitated the release of the band's third album, "Scattering," in 2016.

"Dystopia" was released through Ropeadope Records on March 9, 2018, and word of the band's unique sound and talent are starting to spread around the world. Brooklyn's Crash Chords podcast describes Progger as "gripping... tight as hell... it will lift your heart in a very special way." The UK's Soul and Jazz radio show and webcast calls them "amazing," while Germany's Daily Prog blog calls them "vibrant and renewing." The Boulder Weekly summarizes the Progger sound well: "Smooth chords over dirty funk beats with just a hint of the building, swirling psychedelic sounds of prog rock."

Spherical Agenda-
SPHERICAL AGENDA is a jazz-rock fusion band consisting of some of the region's top musicians. Hailing from Cincinnati, OH, their sound not only draws from the cutting edge of today's fusion, but also harkens to the reckless abandon and pure energy of groups like Tony Williams Lifetime, Mahavishnu Orchestra, and Return to Forever. Featuring Matt Wiles on bass, Brandon Coleman on guitar, Ben Tweedt on keyboards and Devon Leigh on drums, Spherical Agenda is a powerhouse band bringing serious grooves, intense solos and immense energy.

Chantae Cann-
Chantae Cann is the charismatic influence with a voice that transcends through time. With the release of her debut album "Journey to Golden" in March 2016 at #1 on the iTunes Jazz Charts and #7 on the Jazz Billboard Charts.

Chantae Cann's second studio album (Sol Empowered) released on October 13, 2017 earned the #8 spot on the Jazz Billboard Charts.

Influences like Bobby McFerrin, Haitus Kyote, Chaka Khan and countless others help shape the sounds that you hear throughout her music. Chantae's music blends the exploratory sounds of Jazz with the feel good vibes of Soul, which makes for a mixture that is quite enticing. It is her heart's desire to simply inspire, uplift and encourage the lives of others through music.

Sol Empowered finds the artist in a positive space, as Ms. Cann states she has most recently been inspired in the areas of knowing, valuing and appreciating her own self-worth, and she desires to motivate others to do the same.

Sol Empowered further solidifies Chantae's signature sound while referencing the comforting sounds from her first album, Journey To Golden. Lyrically, this is a love letter from Chantae to her listeners with an in depth look at her evolution as an artist, and most importantly who she has come to be as a person. Sol Empowered is intentional and deliberate, yet free-spirited.

Chantae is not a novice to the industry. She has been blessed to travel the world as a background vocalist (10+ years) with P.J. Morton, Gramps Morgan, and most notably India Arie. She's had the tremendous honor of collaborating with artists/bands such as, Snarky Puppy, Jonathan McReynolds and The Foreign Exchange.
