Vanna Pacella
Vanna Pacella - named “New Act of the Year” by the New England Music Awards - is a Singer, Songwriter and Multi-Instrumentalist with a deep devotion for her craft, and a soaring career. At 19 years old, Vanna and her band are making remarkable strides - touring across the country, gaining significant industry recognition, selling out shows, and quickly garnering a loyal following. Vanna’s sound blends infectious melodies and glimmering synths with an irresistible 70’s rock grit. She describes her music as “Ethereal Rock” because it is a product of pure emotion, immersed with unfettered intention, bruised with the intensity of raw, distorted rock guitars, & it is bound with the lightweight, delicate, yet untouchable strength of grand pianos, sentimental vocals, reverb & honest, poetic lyricism. Vanna’s music draws a fanbase not specific to one demographic… rather, Vanna’s music does what this world needs most - draws strangers together through a shared passion for deeply emotional music, and a collective yearning for connection and community.
Audio Jane
Audio Jane is an atmospheric dream-pop and shoegaze band rooted in Hartford, Connecticut. Led by singer-songwriter Sarah Sawtelle alongside guitarist Brad Diller, bassist Brandon Diller, and drummer Mike Maffei, the group crafts moody, guitar-driven soundscapes anchored by lush melodies and quiet-loud dynamics. Drawing inspiration from 90s alt-rock and classic dream-pop pioneers, their music bridges the gap between melancholic introspection and soaring, distortion-soaked catharsis. Since forming, Audio Jane has become a staple of the Southern New England indie scene, delivering hypnotizing live performances across iconic regional venues. With acclaimed releases like A Beautiful Scene and Naïve, the band has earned praise for blending ethereal vocals with raw, emotional songwriting, evoking the nostalgic atmosphere of Mazzy Star and Cocteau Twins paired with the grunge-tinged edge of the Pixies.
Modern Refuge
Modern Refuge is an alt-rock quartet hailing from New Haven, CT, blending moody, existential songwriting with anthemic choruses and progressive flourishes. Fronted by siblings Sam Winfield (vocals) and Vincent Amendola (guitar)—alongside Brian Winfield (drums) and Jim McLoughlin (bass)—the band’s deep-seated family bond powers an electric, high-energy live show reminiscent of 1970s arena rock.
Having shared stages with international touring acts such as Collective Soul, Sammy Hagar & The Circle, George Thorogood & The Destroyers, TALK, and Rozzi, Modern Refuge has quickly built a reputation as a must-see live band. Their debut LP, Runaway Dream, released on August 1, 2025, met widespread critical acclaim. Reviewers hailed it as "an album you don’t just hear — you feel it in your chest..." (Syncho Agency), while Pitch Perfect highlighted frontwoman Sam Winfield’s vocal power, noting that on the single “Wave Empire,” her voice evokes "a Rumours-era Fleetwood Mac sound, like a more interesting version of ‘Dreams.’"
