Willow Avalon, a rural Georgia native whose first word was "Elvis," grew up surrounded by gospel and country music. She began playing piano in church and taught herself guitar at age 12, quickly turning to songwriting as a means of escape and salvation. At just 15, she left home and spent a brief period living in her car before making her way to California. Now based in New York, Avalon writes, plays and produces her own music alongside a small group of trusted collaborators, crafting a sound that refreshingly blends classic country and Americana. Her debut EP, Stranger, has racked up over 30 million streams, and her songs "Tequila and Whiskey" and "Homewrecker" have earned widespread attention. Avalon’s unique style has led her to share stages with artists like Charles Wesley Godwin, Paul Cauthen, Cage the Elephant and more. Her anticipated debut album, Southern Belle Raising' Hell, is due out January 2025.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/145868/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

Knowing God plays a central role as both a catalyst and medium in Hulvey’s personal and creative growth. The Brunswick, GA native’s music delves into themes of thankfulness, maturity and comfort that reflect the peace of mind he currently inhabits. In the five years since signing with Reach Records, Hulvey has released his debut, self-titled album, Christopher, to widespread acclaim and toured nationally – welcoming a season of newfound success filled with transformative moments. His reverence for God is inextricably linked to his upbringing in Southeast Georgia, where Hulvey was steeped in an all-encompassing church life. After being saved at age 4, his spiritual journey started to take form. From then on out, Hulvey made a conscious effort to seek God in all of his experiences and direct every fiber of his being to developing a deeper understanding of his Creator. In doing so, he naturally surrounded himself with people who have similar values, which led to a fortuitous run-in with a gentleman by the name of Doug. This alignment marked a pivotal turning point in Hulvey’s life when a bible verse resonated with him unlike any other, John 17:3 – “This is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.” Hulvey went on to attend college before deciding to drop out and pursue a career in music full-time. And so far it has worked out for him. To date, he’s released a plethora of compelling singles, five EP’s and his aforementioned debut album, which made waves across the music industry and debuted at #8 on Billboard’s Top Christian/Gospel Albums chart, and #19 on the Top Rap Albums chart. 2023 was no different, evidenced by the runaway success of his immensely popular singles such as “Used By You,” “Love Like That,” “Fly Away,” and “Altar.” The latter was remixed by Grammy Award-winning R&amp;B-pop star Ciara, and the original version peaked at #25 on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs, with seven total weeks on the chart. Adding to the excitement, Hulvey was awarded an RIAA Gold certification for “Altar,” which has garnered 100M+ streams since its release. He continued fortifying his catalog in 2025 with songs like “BRING HEAVEN DOWN,” “RAIN ON ME,” “JESUS IS LORD,” and his critically-acclaimed third studio album, CRY. Then, Hulvey parlayed that momentum into a standout guest verse on Brandon Lake’s King Of Hearts LP (“Right In The Middle”) before joining him on the Summer Worship Nights Tour alongside Phil Wickham. Hulvey’s impressive versatility and ability to draw connections across the ever-growing musical landscape is a testament to the reach of faith-based rap. With more music and major moves on the horizon, he’s squarely positioned to bring people closer to God with his now-signature blend of nuance, effort, intentionality.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/144137/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

Courtney Barnett returns with of Habit, a bold and generous new album that finds her embracing change with clarity, curiosity, and renewed purpose. Recorded in Joshua Tree and Los Angeles and shaped by instinct rather than over-planning, the record captures Barnett at her most open, channeling restless energy, hard-won optimism, and the quiet beauty of paying attention to life as it happens.
Creature of Habit, Barnett’s fourth studio album, continues her lifelong inquiry into how to get out of your own way and truly feel your life, this time from a more compassionate, less binary place. Across sharp, driving songs and reflective moments alike, she explores transformation, uncertainty, and the small revelations that emerge through patience and observation. This album proves why Barnett is not only one of the most innovative songwriters of her time but undeniably one of the most impressive rock guitarists of her generation.
In Barnett’s hands, fragments of everyday life become rich and riveting. She first earned critical acclaim with 2013’s The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas, breaking into the mainstream with her 2015 debut Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit, which garnered a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist and remains a generational touchstone. She followed with the acclaimed collaborative album Lotta Sea Lice with Kurt Vile (2017), the politically charged Tell Me How You Really Feel (2018), and the introspective Things Take Time, Take Time (2021). A formidable live performer, Barnett has played major festivals including Coachella, Glastonbury, Primavera, and Lollapalooza, bringing her incisive lyrics and virtuosic guitar work to audiences around the world.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/144138/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

Several years ago, Master Bespoke Tailor Eric W. Stiles Sr. taught professional online fashion classes through 61 colleges across the United States and 2 colleges in Canada. The college serving your community was one of those institutions, giving local residents the opportunity to study professional sewing, tailoring, garment construction, pattern making, alterations, and other specialized fashion skills.
As the nationwide program continued to grow, Mr. Stiles stepped away from online teaching to redesign the program and make it more affordable and accessible. Those classes are now returning through EWS Fashion Academy, with Online Mini-Courses beginning September 12, 2026. Unlike the previous college-sponsored program, students now register directly through the Academy, and most Mini-Course sessions are just $17.00.
With more than four decades of experience, advanced training with Brioni in Italy, professional work with Brioni, Giorgio Armani, Polo Ralph Lauren, and Tom Ford, and teaching both online and live at 11 Illinois colleges, Mr. Stiles continues to bring professional fashion education to students everywhere.

HAYLA has delivered her majestic, powerful voice all throughout the world of music. Growing up in Liverpool and immersed in sound from an early age, her relationship with music feels instinctive rather than deliberate. One of her earliest and most formative influences was Whitney Houston's Bodyguard album, a record that left a lasting emotional imprint and set the tone for her deep connection to vocal expression and feeling-led music. From performing in bands around the UK and teaching singing lessons, to taking the stage at the Hollywood Bowl with deadmau5 and closing out Coachella, HAYLA's journey has been one of quiet, unstoppable momentum.
She is now one of electronic music's most recognisable and in-demand voices. Her GRAMMY nomination came via "Escape," her collaboration on deadmau5 and Kaskade's celebrated LP Kx5, and she became a Gold-certified artist through "Where You Are," her smash co-write with John Summit. Both tracks alongside Summit collaboration "Shiver" reached #1 on SiriusXM's BPM, giving her the top song three years running. She has since added further Dance Radio #1s to her name: "Without You" with Kygo, "Another World" with MEDUZA, and the operatic "In My Arms" with ILLENIUM, which features on his #1 Billboard Dance Album chart project ODYSSEY alongside collaborations with Ellie Goulding and Ryan Tedder. Her collaboration with multi-platinum pop icon Nelly Furtado, "FADED" released via Casablanca Records is a haunting, cinematic dancefloor anthem that melds electronic atmosphere with emotional storytelling, and earned HAYLA a nomination for Best Collaboration at the Electronic Dance Music Awards (EDMAs).
As a solo artist, HAYLA released her debut album DUSK (Restless Minds Music/Believe UK), earning a cover slot on Spotify's Mint playlist and a "Hottest Record" accolade on BBC Radio 1. Among its standout singles, "Visions Of You" reached #2 on Mediabase's Most Played chart at dance radio in 2025 and broke into the top 10 on Billboard Dance Airplay a landmark moment for HAYLA as a solo artist in her own right and commands over 6.2 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
In late 2025, HAYLA embarked on a headline North American tour, following a landmark summer that included debut appearances at major PRIDE festivals across the U.S., two solo sets opening for Kygo at Ushuaïa Ibiza, and support slots at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The tour culminated in sold-out shows at iconic venues including El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles and appearances at major festivals including ILLENIUM's Ember Shores.
Now, HAYLA enters an exciting new chapter. She is nominated across multiple prestigious awards in early 2026: an iHeartRadio Music Award for "In My Arms" in the Dance Song of the Year category and four EDMAs including Female Artist of the Year, Vocalist of the Year, Dance Radio Artist of the Year, and Best Collaboration. She won a Femmy Award for Best Vocalist at Miami Music WeekShe and is also set to make her solo debut on the main stage at EDC Las Vegas in May 2026, having already appeared on the EDC Mexico main stage.
On the 18th March, HAYLA took to the stage at St Pancras Church in London for an exclusive show performing entirely new music from her upcoming album, a bold statement of intent and a clear signal of her musical evolution.
That album represents HAYLA's most personal and ambitious work to date, one that draws from a wide and unconventional palette: progressive metal, electronic music, melancholy singer-songwriter traditions, and atmospheric storytelling. Influences range from Chelsea Wolfe, Deftones, and Nick Drake to classical and jazz. The album was not planned or over-produced, it "just happened," guided by atmosphere and emotion rather than genre or trend.
HAYLA describes her sound as "sad bitch music": emotionally heavy yet hopeful, melancholic but empowering. Themes of loss, love, grief, and resilience run throughout. Rather than offering answers, the music holds space allowing listeners to find their own meaning. New single "Heal" was released on 10th March. The message at the heart of it all is simple but powerful: you are not alone.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/145869/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>
