Anthony Arya -from San Francisco, CA -Anthony Arya is an Americana rock performing and recording artist and nationally award-winning songwriter from the San Francisco Bay Area. In Fall 2018 at age 15, Anthony was a contestant on Season 15 of NBC’s The Voice. Shortly after, he released his debut album Going To California. With rocking crowd favorites such as “Slow Train” and “Blues By Midnight”, Anthony quickly became one of the most popular artists in music-rich Santa Cruz, California. The Anthony Arya Band has performed at well known events in the Monterey Bay Area including the Redwood Mountain Faire, the Capitola Art and Wine Festival, and the West End Celebration. His music is frequently played on the iconic roots radio station KPIG. His second album The Road, released in Spring 2020, encompasses the Beat-Dylan American traditions of love, socio-political awareness, and the open road. Fans love the upbeat rock songs “The Road” and “Moonlight” as well as the melodic folksy lyrics of “California Air” and “Sarah”. Arya's first official music video for "California Air" showing iconic shots from his hometown of Santa Cruz won a semi-finalist award in the International Songwriting Competition. In June 2020 Anthony Arya received the prestigious award of Presidential Scholar in the Arts (category singer/songwriter) awarded by the US Department of Education. In 2021, Anthony released Listen to the Voice of Anthony Arya, a tribute to his Voice journey with covers of the songs he performed in auditions and on the show. Since The Voice, Arya has performed hundreds of shows around the Bay Area and people say you're likely to walk away humming one of his tunes for days after a performance. His signature tone has audiences captivated by solo performances and the Anthony Arya Band's raw energy ignites the stage with electrifying roots rock. Circles & the Flames, Arya's third album, was released in May 2022 and has earned him multiple national awards. "Jaded Rust", a nostalgic endearing folk song, was selected by Nashville’s The Bluebird Cafe / Taylor Guitars' Golden Pick Contest. A hard-driving blues song,"Ballad of Eugene" earned him a spot as a finalist in the International Songwriting Competition Americana category as well as a finalist in the Telluride Blues and Brews Festival's Blues Challenge. "Lovers of Valdaro", a haunting love song, was selected as a Finalist in the International Acoustic Music Awards. Fans are awaiting the fourth album recorded at historic Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco - coming out in early 2024! Matt Jaffe -from San Francisco, CA -After cutting his teeth on open mics around the Bay Area, San Francisco songwriter Matt Jaffe was discovered by Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads. Together, they produced his first album at the age of 16, cementing Matt's dedication to music. Soon, he formed a band, dropped out of college, and has not looked back. Since then, Matt has cowritten with Chuck Prophet and Tom Higgenson of Plain White T’s, crisscrossed the country opening for Blues Traveler and Alejandro Escovedo, and recorded half a dozen albums alongside luminaries of the Bay Area music scene. Inspired by the great lineage of rock n' roll, he marries literary lyrics with the undeniable urge to dance. Matt has served as musical director for experimental theater, collaborated with poets on genre-bending spoken word, and curated residencies among fellow songwriters. Having had seizures since 2015, Matt also uses his music to unite local and national epilepsy communities. Matt has just released his sixth album, White Roses in the Snow, and is in the process of finishing its followup for release in 2023. |
