Abigail Rose - www.abigailrosemusic.com
“Abigail Rose is spearheading the pop movement coming out of Nashville. Her sound is sonic gold, mixing pop and hip-hop influences with rich vocals that carries a deep lyricism and haunting melodies.” -Nashville Lifestyle
Abigail's love affair with music started at an early age and has become the fuel to drive her overflowing creativity into the growing pop scene of Nashville. Her passion quickly grew from a hobby to a career, as she landed opportunities that took her from playing in her bedroom to opening for crowds of thousands (Summerfest, The “Nashville” Cast, Collective Soul, Better than Ezra). Eventually adolescent curiosity began to guide her down a different path. Her driving need for authenticity came to the forefront and she began to explore all the areas where she could grow as an artist.
A few years of soul-searching and hours spent crafting her latest projects have finally led her right where she needs to be. Abigail stands out among the crowd with her pop/r&b sound and recently released singles, ‘The Risk’, ‘Style’ and ‘Looking’. Her new music has been grabbing attention at venues such as Mercy Lounge, The Back Corner and City Winery. Dancing in loud prints and neon colors, Abigail delivers a dynamic live performance that revives any crowded room. She contrasts catchy pop melodies with vulnerable songwriting that showcases her own growing pains over the years and allows for audiences to feel connected with the honesty she exposes.
Ria Marie - www.riamariemusic.com
Hailing from Bristol, Tenn., the birthplace of one of the most successful music genres in the world, Ria Marie has an undeniable passion for creating music that runs as deep as her home town’s country roots. To say that singing is in her blood would simply be an understatement; she is a distant relative of the trailblazing Carter Family and the daughter of a singing prodigy who at one point had been associated with musical legends such as the late Whitney Houston and Bob Marley, to name a few.
Growing up, Ria spent her formative years listening to modern icons of soul and pop music like Houston, Christina Aguilera and Jennifer Hudson, all of whom have undoubtedly influenced her buttery-smooth vocal runs and razor-sharp precision as a singer. Her kaleidoscopic mix of melodic pop sensibilities and refreshingly bold lyrics make for songs that are immediately accessible to listeners. Whether it’s showcased through the playful lens of love at first sight as on the sultry “Honey,” or on “Dancing Through the Fog,” a journey of self-empowerment, Ria unapologetically wears her songwriting heart on her sleeve.
These tracks make up a fresh batch of songs that find Ria honing her craft as she prepares for an EP (details to follow) in 2020. Following the release of her debut single “Honey,” Ria found herself playing tastemaker showcases around Music City and performing at music festivals alongside acts like Kim Petras.
Rosé
With over 115,000 listens on her latest single “On the Daily,” it’s clear that newcomer ROSE is giving listeners what they want to hear. With an eclectic sound rooted in R&B, hip hop and modern jazz, ROSE is bringing a new genre to the table. Influenced by artists such as Rihanna, Mac Miller, Eryn Allen Cane and Jhene Aiko, ROSE puts her own twist on hip hop hottest phenomenons.
Originally hailing from Pittsburgh, PA, ROSE currently resides in Nashville, TN, standing out with her groovy tunes among the quintessential aspiring country artists. No stranger to the limelight, ROSE is a self-proclaimed down to earth drama queen. With a passion for singing, songwriting and acting, ROSE immersed herself in theatre at a young age. From performing in musical theatre throughout high school to summer theatre institute at Julliard, she always tapped into the natural performer within her.
That eagerness for performing brought ROSE to New York City. After becoming smitten by the big lights and hustle of the city as a young college student, she knew she had to do whatever it took to make it as an artist. Fast- forward three years and ROSE is making a name for herself in Music City, USA. Filling her free time with songwriting and local performances, ROSE has found her niche. In a place where country western is the assumed norm, ROSE stands out with her fresh, funky and chic tunes in the developing Nashville hip hop scene.

Over the past few years we’ve seen a noticeable rise in our national mental health awareness. More and more people every day are choosing to prioritize their mental wellbeing as highly as they do their physical. From her childhood in Lexington, MA to adulthood in Nashville, TN, Elisabeth Beckwitt has battled anxiety, depression, and addiction. She’s always felt that it’s important to be open and honest about her struggles so that she can encourage others to reach out and seek the help that they might need.
