About Johnny Showcase
Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify
Johnny Showcase is an electrifying experience. This 10-piece Philadelphia-based group is an innovative, joyful tour-de-force that blissfully toes the line between performance art and a psychedelic soul revival. Carrying the torch of funk-rock pioneers like Funkadelic and Frank Zappa, their ecstatic live shows and have gained a massive following and propelled Johnny to something that of a funky Philly folk hero legend. Johnny Showcase is a sweaty, charismatic showman from Rhode Island who is equal parts Andy Kaufman and Prince. Surrounding him is a rag tag group of performers, including a spiritual adviser named Rumi Kitchen (), two vacuous vocalists collectively named The Truth, and the knife sharp backing band the Mystic Ticket. Johnny Showcase began as a bizarro theatre act The Lefty Lucy Cabaret, but soon moved towards the clubs as they came to be known as legit musical outfit outside the theatre scene. 2011 saw the release of their debut album , co-produced with Henry Hirsch (Lenny Kravitz, Madonna), followed up in 2012 with the self-produced . Their 2015 album was hailed by Philadelphia Magazine as a "thick, sweaty psychedelic masterpiece"

About Glitterfox
Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify
Glitterfox doesn’t chase the algorithm — they follow instinct, community, and a kind of magia (Basque for magic). Formed by longtime creative partners Solange Igoa and Andrea Walker, the Portland-based band has built their career the analog way: a van, a map, and unforgettable shows stitched across towns like constellations. Their rise has been defined by raw connection and fearless self-expression, with music that fuses garage rock grit, new wave shimmer, southern Americana soul, and a dancefloor pulse — all tangled with heart and heat until what emerges is unmistakably, inimitably Glitterfox.
Their debut full-length decoder (out August 22 via Jealous Butcher Records) is a supernova of sound and spirit — a soundtrack for becoming, undoing, and becoming again. The album traces deeply personal terrain: queer love, personal transformation, neurodivergence, and the emotional aftershocks of a romantic split between Igoa and Walker, who remain deeply connected musical collaborators. Tracks like “Passenger,” “Change Me,” “Polaroids,” and the deceptively euphoric “Wildfires” showcase their ability to turn vulnerability into voltage.
