Cale Hawkins creates music from a small, windowless room in Brooklyn.

Vocal powerhouse, songwriter, and visual producer Garth., is a Brooklyn based performer with a catalog now boasting over 5 million streams on Spotify.


A rare talent whose multifaceted studio projects are only rivaled by his electrifying live performances, Garth. has commanded stages throughout North America and Europe since his debut in 2018; highlights include Carnegie Hall, the Apollo Theater and most recently, Lincoln Center. 


His latest musical offering, Coronation, is a refreshingly nostalgic celebration of 80’s, 90’s and new millennium R&B. Created in partnership with Cale Hawkins (credits include Quincy Jones, Charli XCX, Natasha Bedingfield), Coronation playfully twists through narratives of self love, earnest heartbreak and every feeling in between – all while paying sonic homage to music titans like Bilal, Mariah Carey and Prince. 


Garth.'s debut EP, Human Nature (2018) was a fusion of R&B, Pop and Electronic beats. The success of the project led to a 12 track, deluxe edition distributed by Sweet Soul Records exclusively in Japan. He quickly followed that release with Funk/Soul inspired Melt in 2019; the titular single featured as a sleeper pick on the Joe Budden Podcast (Ep. 291). 


Garth. further expanded his command of genre with Our Father (2021) which was described as being, "as evocative sonically as it is lyrically." Reflectively jubilant and equally mournful, Our Father runs the full gamut from deep soul grooves, to 80’s-R&B-Surf Rock. 


Summer 2022 marked the release of Garth.’s first live album, Live, in Color, a visual concert experience released in June. The Son of Marketing blog highlighted, "The album is just that – colorful, as Garth.’s incredible voice as well as sense of humor are on full display throughout the live set. It truly feels like you’re there enjoying the night with everyone else."

Peter Stone is an independent musician and a writer of songs that are equal parts intimate and cinematic, energetic and evocative, familiar and haunted.  It’s easy to imagine any of Peter’s songs playing over the final shot of a film about love and loss, giving your tears just enough time to dry while the credits roll before you leave the theater.  With a voice like warm evening sunlight creeping in through a ranch homestead’s western windows, it does not come as a surprise that they have lived all across the United States, acquiring dust and stories along the road.

In addition to releasing their own music as a solo artist, Peter is also the co-founder and former guitarist of The Rare Occasions, an LA-based band whose explosive garage rock anthems and soaring melodies have been heard by millions of listeners around the world.  Songs by The Rare Occasions featuring Peter’s guitar and songwriting contributions have been streamed over 500 million times worldwide.

Anterra is a singer, multi-instrumentalist, and weaver of songs of enchantment and grief. Perspective, mysticism, and self-mythology are channeled into heartbreaking siren vocals, delicately intertwined with dreamy instrumentation. Experimental and evocative; the effect is entrancing.
