PHILLIP LABES
Some people emerged from the stay-at-home orders with a plant collection, others with a six-pack. Philip Labes emerged with songs capturing some of the chaos, loss, and humor of the last three years. Philip continues the storytelling tradition of artists like Paul Simon and Don McLean, with a sense of fun that's fully original. Philip gained quick viral fame on TikTok, where he was spotted by Jason Mraz and invited to open on the Grammy-winner's North American tour. In the last year, Philip released an album for each season, a feat never previously completed by any artist (except Vivaldi.) Now he's packing the four seasons in a carry-on and bringing them to you. 

KZ Liz is a bicoastal singer-songwriter and composer based in New York City and Portland, Oregon. Her music has an Alt-Pop feel, with a musical theatre influence. She can be compared to artists such as Sara Bareilles, Regina Spektor, Ingrid Michaelson, and The Cranberries. When writing, she pulls from many different inspirations, ranging from her own experiences to others’ experiences she’s witnessed and even direct quotes from movies or tv shows. She got her start in music at an early age, singing at three years old. She taught herself the piano when she was 12, then wrote her first song, “Unbreakable,” shortly after. Writing and composing is a way to escape reality and express herself in ways she didn’t think was possible. After a while of creating, she couldn’t view a future without music, and decided to make a career out of her passion.
