Ravyn Lenae R&amp;B
Chicago-born and raised singer-songwriter Ravyn Lenae first started releasing music in the latter half of the 2010s with a trio of EPs, making the biggest splash with 2018’s Crush EP and its lead single “Sticky.” In 2022, Ravyn released HYPNOS, her critically acclaimed debut via Atlantic Records, with Steve Lacy, Monte Booker, and KAYTRANADA among its producers.
Her sophomore album, Bird’s Eye, was released in 2024 and garnered praise from numerous publications. Executive produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Dahi (Kendrick Lamar, SZA), Bird’s Eye is nestled within Ravyn’s memories of home, intertwining her vocals with pop, indie, reggae, jazz, and rock. She later made her late-night TV debut on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon and joined KAYTRANADA and Channel Tres on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Bird’s Eye notably features “Love Me Not,” which has garnered over a billion global streams and landed Ravyn her first top 5 appearance on the Billboard Hot 100.
2025 saw Ravyn’s debut performances at Coachella, her hometown’s heralded Lollapalooza festival, Today Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and a sold-out four-show residency at the Blue Note Jazz Club. She then launched her sold-out headline North American and UK/EU tours, while also joining Reneé Rapp and Sabrina Carpenter on select dates of their respective arena tours. While 2025 remains a breakthrough year, Ravyn intends for an even bigger 2026 with the release of her third studio album, Blue Island, coming August 7, 2026.
Q Marsden R&amp;B
Q doesn’t just make music. He lives with it. He trusts it. He respects it. He breathes it. He gives his all to it. When you press play, you’re not only hearing his voice, his proficiency across multiple instruments, and his production acumen, but you’re also hearing his soul, spirit, and life amplified aloud. This intimacy has bonded the Florida-born singer, songwriter, and producer to a growing fanbase worldwide. He forged his own relationship with music as a kid in Miramar, FL. Born to musician parents, he cut his first track at just five-years-old. With a voracious appetite to create, he taught himself piano, guitar, bass, drums, and keys. Honing his craft over the years, he learned the ins and outs of production. He served up fan favorite releases such as Thoughts [2018], Forest Green [2019], The Shave Experiment EP [2020], The Shave Experiment (Director’s Cut) [2021], and Soul,PRESENT [2023]—hailed by NPR as “a collection of soulful songs steeped in analog nostalgia and '80s pop production, with an eye t oward a slightly more warped and wondrous future.” Simultaneously he clocked over half-a-billion streams fueled by the likes of “Garage Rooftop,” “TODAY,” and the breakout “Take Me Where Your Heart Is,” which generated north of 241 million streams. Along the way, he incited widespread tastemaker praise from The New York Times, Complex, Hypebeast, Noisey, Teen Vogue, Billboard, and PAPER who raved, “He exudes a natural X factor and effortless musical talent that harkens back to a bygone era of soul-pop acts like Stevie Wonder and Prince.” However, his relationship with music is forever. Never stopping, he picks up the pace again in 2025 with 10 songs [Columbia Records] and more to come.

Hatch Show Print

Participants hand–ink and print on paper and fabric using some of Nashville’s most recognizable imagery, cut into printing blocks by the designers at Hatch Show Print. As one of the oldest poster and design shops in America, it's still printing show posters for musicians, bands and performers, one at a time, via letterpress printing. At the Block Party, adults work with a selection of hand-carved printing blocks and become familiar with the process of relief printing. Instructors will cover the basics of composing an image, with consideration given to creating layers and using color. Participants will learn how we sling the ink, roll the brayers and design like it’s 1879, making each piece by hand. All materials are provided, including a blank tea towel or tote bag. Attendees may also bring a T-shirt or other clean, washable item on which to print.All materials are provided, including a blank tea towel or tote bag.
