The Uptown Woods is a hip-hop, jazz infused group that was formed in the fall of 2015. The band consists of two core members who compose and write all original music. The pianist, Garrett Shafer is from New Jersey and composes all of the bands progressions. MC, Supplant, is from Pittsburgh.  The Uptown Woods has connections to Duquesne University, and has built a large following throughout the Pittsburgh area. 
The band’s name was selected because ‘Uptown’ Pittsburgh was the meeting spot for countless jam sessions when the group began in 2015. Contradictory to the city, the ‘Woods’ symbolizes the bands ties to inner harmony. The metropolitan culture mixed with the peace of nature clash against each other and is an oxymoron, a theme that surfaces in the trio’s music quite often. The name, ‘The Uptown Woods’ stands for contrast and balance because there is always a way through the chaos for those who are clever enough to find it. 
	Diverse ideas have always been the foundation for the groups complex sound. The Uptown Woods debut EP called Close Quarters is scheduled to be released in November. One of the many themes for Close Quarters is to surface over a conformist society’s viewpoints in order to establish a self-reliant set of ideals, especially in situations of distress and confinement. The band hopes to spread these beliefs to the public in hope to change an unstable and bitter community.

Solo artist/musician from Lancaster, PA. I write, record, and produce all of my music. The genre is a blend of acoustic rock, folk, and grunge with a 60's psychedelic and surf rock flair.

Native Maze is making waves with a sound born in the chemistry of five brothers from other mothers. From the driving pulse of rock, to the consolation of reggae, to the eruptions of progressive dance, these guys revel in the musical unknown and manifest their melodic addiction through whichever genre speaks to the moment. The journey that began with childhood friends has grown into a magnetic force of good times with great people.

Highlights for the young band include headlining shows throughout southeast and central Pennsylvania, including Philly, West Chester, Lancaster, Harrisburg and Williamsport. Since breaking out in 2014, the band has played with well established acts including Dopapod, Consider the Source, The Mantras, Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad, Jimkata, Perpetual Groove, and Badfish. The band has also lit up the main stages of local festivals such as JibberJazz, Liberty Fest, Groove In The Grove, Souper Groove, and more.
