Bryce Bowyn // Shelley Star the Galaxy // Neon Run // Hunter Gromala

Based in Washington, D.C., Bryce Bowyn crafts anthemic electropop that juxtaposes late 2000s pop architecture with self-aware, cutting lyricism. A three-time recipient of the D.C. Arts and Humanities Fellowship (2024–2026), Bowyn has built a devoted following across the capital and beyond, earning praise from GLAAD, Atwood Magazine, Queerty, and Ladygunn, and sharing stages with GIRLI, Dixon Dallas, and Vendredi Sur Mer.

Shelley Star & The Galaxy are making cosmic waves in Washington, DC, bringing out-of-this-world lyrics, vibrant pop-rock melodies, and theatrical flair to the Nation’s capital. The enigmatic Shelley Star powerfully belts and stomps the stage in platform space boots while high-octane musicians “The Galaxy” shred by her side. The band takes musical inspiration from icons such as Lady Gaga, ABBA, and David Bowie, and their style comes from deep roots in the art of drag. Since their inception in 2022, the band has released two award-winning full-length albums “Shelley Star and The Galaxy” and “Crystal Beach”. They received two WAMMIE award nominations for their songs “Battery Baby” and “Lucky” in 2023, and in 2024 “Glass House” received high honors in the Mid-Atlantic Songwriting Competition (MASC). Their live shows are unforgettable arena-style spectacles on an indie DIY budget, bringing high quality music, dance, and glamour to planet earth.
