Johnny Miles is a writing-recording-performing artist, based out of Philadelphia, whose musical manifestations and permutations have haunted stages large and small since 2004. Whether smashing and crashing with raucous rock and roll or whispering in your ear with heartbreaking lullabies, Miles' work is all about the song itself and his impressive catalog takes center stage. His latest release When The Saints Sleep was named Best of 2010 by WXPN and recent appearances at Kimmel Center and Philadelphia Folk Festival have helped to solidify his growing reputation as a writer and performer to be reckoned with.

The Honey Watts comprise of Philadelphia's Liz Fullerton and Carl Cheeseman. The duo have created a deeply personal sound that creates a musical fabric of muted tones and soft noises. Some songs are a simple acoustic presentation, while others turn ambient, electric, orchestral, and, at times, even experimental. Their music shares the same biographical intensity of Neil Young and Leonard Cohen, but are sung with the passionate desperation and whimsical playfulness of Nina Simone, Patsy Cline and Minnie Riperton.
