Ezra Bell was founded late in the summer of 2013. It was warm enough to sit on the porch into the evening and learn a couple of songs. A lap drum a banjo and an out-of-tune guitar. Years on, it’s surprising Ezra Bell is still at it. Streaming services have surprisingly worked in Ezra Bell’s favor and listeners resonate with the tales spinning out of order around disconcerting musical interludes. Somehow, a licensing company commissioned Ezra Bell to play and record Sam Cooke’s worst song for an insurance commercial. The commercial aired on Superbowl Sunday. Ezra Bell espouses neither football nor insurance but sold out accordingly for the pittance that was paid and the exposure. Such is the music industry. Many heartfelt messages from unknown listeners have kept Ezra Bell busy writing and recording. Eventually, a booking agency caught on to the growing cult following and propped Ezra Bell up in front of audiences outside of Portland, forcing the band to drive thousands of miles, sometimes in single day, to play for crowds. Then there was COVID. Now the touring has (mostly) ceased and the band focuses on recording and self-releasing independent music. &amp;lt;a href="https://ezrabell.bandcamp.com/track/the-joke-was-on-me"&amp;gt;the joke was on me by Ezra Bell&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; Dan & Drum -from Los Angeles, CA -Dan & Drum is the bandworld created by LA songwriter and artist, Dan Checkers. Dan is the emotional yin to Drum's cerebral yang, and they produce a music that is similarly full of contradictions. Since releasing their debut album in 2017, they have earned 10s of millions of streams across platforms and have gone on several national tours. Heavy Mental, the official follow-up to Growl Pop, is set to be released in 2023. &amp;lt;a href="https://dananddrum.bandcamp.com/track/i-need-a-woman"&amp;gt;I Need A Woman by Dan and Drum&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; Ellis Evason -from Swindon, UK -Ellis Evason’s music is Hip-Hop at its most intimate. Whether it’s tackling personal romantic downfalls, celebrating individuality or confronting systemic oppression, Ellis’s lyricism is always honest and poetic. He is inspired by old school soul music, a love for jazz and icons of lyricism. Since the release of his second studio album “SINS OF THE FATHER”, Ellis has been working on new collaborative projects with wildly different sounds to his previous records. He was recently long-listed as a Glastonbury Festival Emerging Talent and has been habitually featured on BBC Introducing across the UK. &amp;lt;a href="https://ellisevason.bandcamp.com/album/sins-of-the-father"&amp;gt;SINS OF THE FATHER by Ellis Evason&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;
