Featured in Rolling Stone as one of "10 New Artists You Need to Know," The New Respects are quickly turning heads and gaining unprecedented traction. Falling into a genre of their own, The New Respects mesh rock & roll, soul, and pop music with overlays of acoustic tones. Comprised of Zandy Fitzgerald, brother Darius and their cousin Jasmine Mullen, the Nashville-based group is a true family affair, evidencing the undeniable soul and musical legacy that flows through the roots of their family tree. Upon their debut, the Nashville-based band surged on social media platforms and their second single "Trouble" received sync placements with Fox Sports, ESPN and TNT. Both Nylon Magazine and Interview Magazine exclusively premiered music videos for the band's 2nd and 3rd singles. 

Keeping Up with the Joneses is a soul funk band led by Kookie Jones. Kookie has a deep history with Funk on the One, going back to the traditional church music of his childhood. It's Earth Tone Music, Bobba. The Earth is the funky rhythm and the Tone is the melody and soulful voices. Kookie has generated the Groove Maneuvers, MoonHat, Aladocious and other much loved bands. The music quenches souls, raises spirits and moves booties!
