Bron Don was formed in fall 2013 by Berklee freshmen Mitchell Cardoza, Michael Cangemi, and John Cattini. The group released their first EP, The Vibes Project, in February 2014. They have played extensively around Boston and in New England, New York City, and Spain. In September 2014, they released their first full-length, self-produced album, De La Cosmos. It was featured in the February 2015 issue of Boston’s Metronome Magazine as a top-five album pick, and the band itself was featured in the April issue. Bron Don has also been featured on the blogs Sound of Boston and Olympia for a Day. In summer 2015, they mastered the final tracks of Bats and Oranges, their most recent album.

The Black Moons are a Boston-based, Philadelphia-born rock band who define their sound by bridging the gap between alternative and pop music. They draw inspiration from the Eagles, the Beatles, Foo Fighters, and Dave Matthews Band. Their first full-length album, Half-Hearted and Climbing, was released in fall 2014 and produced with Yianni Anastos-Prastacos. Their second studio effort, Less Talk...More Beard (2015), was an EP with focused songwriting, substantial production, and powerful performances. Aiming just as high on the stage as they do in the studio, the Black Moons are aspiring to define themselves as a rock band of the new millennium.

Migrant Motel, the rock 'n' roll power trio, has been jamming in Boston since fall 2012. The band comprises frontman David Stewart Jr.(vocals and bass) from Peru; Ed Graves (guitar) from the United Kingdom; and Chava (drums) from Mexico. A mix of international rock all-stars, they came together at Berklee through hard work, excellence in rock performance and composition, and the Lollapalooza Scholarship. After playing over 100 shows in the Northeast and releasing two EPs and six singles, Migrant Motel has developed an image and fan base that is taking the U.S. by storm. The trio has played festivals like South by Southwest and been supported by companies such as Red Bull and Converse.
