?The Faciliators
✨Sean Daniels and The Law Abiding Citizens is a south Jersey based group of musicians who play Americana based music rooted in folk and bluegrass. The blend of guitar, mandolin, violin, banjo, and double bass lend to homegrown grassroots sound that honors and continues the timeless tradition of storytelling through music. Each song the band plays lends a glimpse into the duality of living today and times long since passed. With each member steeped in traditional Americana music The Law Abiding Citizens aim to deliver nothing less than an authentic experience for the listeners and players alike.
✨Gaia Raga is an orchestra, a universe. The sound is multi-instrumental and intuitive, borrowing elements from folk, jazz and Indian classical music. Their original music has a sometimes timeless, ancient feeling, borrowing themes from poets and artists through the ages. Their songs are threaded with twin-voiced harmonies, through Niki Arrowsmith and Karsyn Wagner on vocals. Andy Dreamos and Chris Smith share percussion, with Andy also doing triple duty on sitar and alto saxophone. Matthew Trice handles bass and alto sax. RJ Testa completes the horn section with bari sax, brings in the bluegrass flavor with his mandolin.
✨DJ Smiley Phace, providing Philly and South Jersey with eclectic and invigorating melodies for years, has become a staple in the ecstatic dance scene ? Offering medicinal beats to get the energy circulating through the body, this culmination of years of passionate practice will promise to crack the shells of tension and bring out the wild dance that humans are capabale of ?
