Another Beginning Band, is a local Racine staple, performing at George’s Encore and Smoke’d on the Water and returns as part of the 2026 event.
At her core, Shariah Christine is a storyteller. Through soulful vocals and emotionally rich R&B, she transforms personal feeling into shared experience. Singing is more than a passion—it’s how she communicates, heals, and connects, and she’s still evolving with every step of her journey.
UVE Nu1000, born Nashon Hollimon, is a 31-year-old artist whose music is rooted in raw emotion, lived experience, and legacy. A father, a worker, and an athlete at heart, UVE balances everyday life with an unwavering dedication to music—the one place where he fully speaks his truth. His sound is deeply personal, driven by how he feels about the world around him and the moments that shape his life. Music isn’t just expression for UVE—it’s purpose. He creates in honor of his father, who passed away at just 15 years old, before he could live out his own musical dreams. His father had already secured a record deal, a future cut short too soon. Carrying that unfinished legacy is what fuels UVE’s passion and commitment to the craft. Music runs through his bloodline. On his father’s side, musical talent is a shared gift, and that family connection continues to inspire him. Though he stepped away from music for a time due to doubt and lack of confidence, the love never faded. Eventually, passion pulled him back—stronger, more focused, and more honest than before. Today, UVE Nu1000 creates music not for trends or validation, but for healing, legacy, and self-expression. Every song is a piece of his journey—real, reflective, and unapologetically his.
