About 5AM Trio
Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify | Apple Music
Pulling threads from dance music, funk, hip-hop, jazz, and beyond, 5AM Trio blurs the lines between electronic production and live instrumental improvisation. What began as Philly producer Sam Andrus/5AM’s vision to merge high-fidelity electronic sound design with the spontaneity of a band has evolved into a powerhouse ensemble featuring the dextrous drumming of Aaron Harel (ZONE Drums) and the guitar wizardry of Keith Wadsworth (Wax Future). Their shows hit with club-level sonic precision while delivering the fire and interplay of a full-on jam session. The Trio’s genre-defying sets have lit up major stages from Red Rocks to Envision Festival, The Caverns, Elements, Summerdance, Resonate, and Secret Dreams, sharing bills with innovators like Papadosio, CloZee, Opiuo, Lab Group, Break Science, Lotus, and Tiedye Ky. Beyond the festivals and flashing lights, 5AM Trio thrives on human connection. Celebrates sobriety and environmental stewardship, donating a portion of every shows’ revenue to tree-planting efforts, and encouraging audiences to create their own art in any form. In a scene where they don’t fit a single box— “a jazz band at the dubstep function”, as they like to say—5AM Trio embraces their role as a vibrant, non-native bloom in the electronic garden: always growing, always experimenting, always chasing the moment when music turns into something bigger than sound.

About Jimkata
Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify | Apple Music
Blurring the line between rock band and electronic act, Jimkata is onto an entirely new era on stage. Once again a quartet, the band has been proving that no songs from their extensive catalog is off limits. Described as “A hard hitting dance party with soaring guitar riffs and soul tickling lyrics,” Jimkata takes you on an emotional joyride before tucking you gently in to bed, still humming the words.
With a life long friendship at it’s core friends since middle school, Evan Friedell, Aaron Gorsch and Packy Lunn infuse Jimkata, with an adventurous musical streak & relatable lyrical themes. Adding Cooper Casterline into the mix holding down the low end has allowed the band to stretch the music out in a live setting. Mixed in with the modern sensibilities & hard driven indie rock are influences drawn from the likes of Motown, singer-songwriters & even old country songs, where storytelling & a quick turn of phrase share priorities with melody & the beat.
On the heals of their newest studio album effort “Running In Place” which released in Sept 2024 the band has once again exemplified why they’re the best at what they do. With the most recent release they continue the successful building of a vibrant, grassroots fanbase and finds themselves all over the US supporting their most recent release.
