Deep, raw funk. Stax-style Southern soul. Uplifting Motown-channeling anthems. 
Atlanta’s Ruby Velle and the Soulphonics are the heirs to the thrones of the old-school masters. But they’re much more than just a group of revivalists trying to create a period piece. Powerhouse singer Velle and her band will settle for nothing less than bringing these classic sounds glimmering into the now with a fresh new modern sheen.
        
Ruby Velle and the Soulphonics have made a name for themselves captivating audiences with their stirring live performances. They’re a world-class modern soul revue topped off with the cherry of Velle’s sultry voice, as she deftly toggles between sweetly crooned R&B tunes and expertly belted barn-burning get-downs that can instantly jolt a roomful of wallflowers into a wild dance party.
        
It’s this inviting and accessible bravado that has scored the band critical acclaim from outlets such as The New York Daily News, MTV, Paste and more. And in addition to their critical success, at a time when record sales are at an all-time industry low, the independent, DIY-minded Velle and the Soulphonics sold a quarter-million downloads of their single “My Dear” on iTunes, landing them in the top 30 on Billboard’s Heatseeker charts and at a stunning #4 on the iTunes R&B charts when their debut album It’s About Time was released in 2012. The group has shared bills with megastars and indie press darlings alike, including Larkin Poe, The Temptations, Erykah Badu, The XX, Goodie Mob, Gary Clark Jr., Animal Collective, Feist and Kendrick Lamar.
        
And they continue to blaze a trail into the hearts of music fans with their new single, "Broken Woman," from their sophomore album which was released in the Fall of 2017 and immediately appeared on Spotify's Official "Still Got the Blues" playlist. They followed that up with "Call Out My Name" releasing on Bitter Southerner. Their new albums tittle track "State of All Things" premiered on PASTE Magazine as the LP arrived in stores globally on 4/27/2018 on vinyl- in a time where music is streamed, the LP’s first pressing sold out in less than 2 months. Stay tuned for more from Ruby Velle & The Soulphonics!

Official Soundcloud for Australian singer-songwriter and guitarist, Hamish Anderson. 
Mgmt: Kristin Juel at Juel Concepts - media@juelconcepts.com

Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, Hamish Anderson is a singer/songwriter, and guitarist whose raw blend of blues, rock & roll, and soul earned him the title of “guitar hero” from Billboard Magazine. Anderson solidified a worldwide presence touring and performing opening sets with artists such as Gary Clark Jr, George Thorogood & The Destroyers, Stephen Stills, Los Lobos, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and a coveted slot as the opener on B. B. King’s final tour. His relentless gigging schedule also saw him performing at festivals including BottleRock, Mountain Jam, Summerfest, SXSW, Telluride Blues & Brews Festival, Blues on Broadbeach and more. 

Anderson commanded the attention of the blues and rock world with his debut album Trouble and built upon that with his 2019 follow-up album Out of My Head  (which scored an Independent Music Award for “Best Blues Album” and saw him heralded in Total Guitar's Top 10 Best New Guitarists list). Both releases saw Anderson team up with Grammy winning producer Jim Scott (Tom Petty, Tedeschi Trucks Band) and blended the traditional language of the blues with his own heartfelt compositions and classic rock stylings. 

His new album titled ELECTRIC (released in October 2024) is Anderson’s most complete and mature artistic statement to date. ROLLING STONE AUSTRALIA has given the musician's third studio album an incredible 4/5 stars in a glowing review that states “Hamish Anderson Has Reached A New Level of Musicality and Rollicking Bravado". Sonic gems like “You’re Mine” and “Late in the Evening” show Anderson expressing his unique voice as a writer while also paying fuzzed-out homage to the understated blues rock licks of The Faces, T-Rex, and Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac. The buoyant and catchy “Stir Crazy” finds him grooving in the vein of early ’80s ZZ Top, while the slow smoldering “Brighter Days” suggests a hip remodeling of a classic Curtis Mayfield- or Al Green-styled ballad. On “Pale Moonlight Interlude/Steal Away” Anderson showcases his lyrical and sublime Clapton-esque lead guitar chops, while the raw and driving swamp rock cover of “It Ain’t Easy” sounds like it could easily be a lost track from Exile on Main Street. The cathartic “Strangers” takes a swaying Dylan-inspired break-up lament and kicks it into high gear with an extended instrumental ride-out that captures the band firing on all cylinders; Electric’s penultimate moment, it gives way to the hauntingly beautiful album closer “Sweet Dreams.”

Anderson celebrated the release by touring in Australia opening for Gary Clark Jr on all dates of his 2025 Australian tour where he sat in nightly on Gary’s encore.
