Trashing Violet

Trashing Violet burst into the New England rock scene in 2020 with its angst-kissed, adrenaline-fueled brand of rock n’ roll –– multi-layered guitar riffs; plumped up, punk bass lines and drums, and fierce, passionate vocals.

The band — lead vocalist/ guitarist Marisa B, bassist Doug E, and drummer Nick D, and lead guitarist Niles W — draws inspiration from all the Gen X goodness of ‘90s rock and ‘80s pop, culminating in a never-dull live show.

Modern Refuge

Modern Refuge has carved out a unique space in the vibrant music scene of Connecticut and has quickly become one of the most exciting, must-see live acts around. Rooted in an intimate folk-rock sensibility, Modern Refuge expands their sound into a sweeping, cinematic landscape, punctuated by anthemic choruses and prog-rock flourishes. Their chemistry and spirit harks back to the high-energy acts of the 70s.

They have opened for international touring acts including Collective Soul, Sammy Hagar and The Circle, George Thorogood & The Destroyers, Talk, and Rozzi.

Their debut album, Runaway Dream, was released on August 1, 2025.  It received high praise with critics remarking "It’s an album you don’t just hear — you feel it in your chest, in the back of your throat, in the long quiet moments after it ends. Modern Refuge has created something special here: a dream you’ll want to fall back into again and again" (Syncho Agency) and ' “Wave Empire” is the first time (but not the last!) when Winfield reminded me of Stevie Nicks, and in fact the song has a Rumours-era Fleetwood Mac sound, like a more interesting version of “Dreams.” ' (Pitch Perfect)

Illuminous

Illuminous is a five piece, mom-fronted band formed in 2018 that blends genres such as pop, punk, reggae, and alternative rock, and makes an original sound of their own. Stemming from the Hartford area, they have played their set at everything from the Hartbeat Music Festival, the Meridan Dafodil Festival, and The Hartford Taste to small clubs throughout the state!
