Noah Gibney Trio:
The Noah Gibney Trio is a soul-infused rock, funk, and jamband group led by pianist, singer-songwriter Noah Gibney, alongside drummer Austin Snavely and bassist Liam Galliano. Gibney has performed throughout the United States and Canada, bringing its high-energy blend of soulful songwriting, keyboard skills, and deep grooves to audiences in cities including New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Austin, Boston, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, and Toronto. Along the way, Noah has shared the stage with acclaimed artists/musicians including G. Love, Oteil Burbridge (Dead & Company, Allman Brothers Band), George Porter Jr.(The Meters), John "JoJo" Hermann (Widespread Panic), Luther Dickinson (North Mississippi Allstars), Adam Zimmon (Ziggy Marley), and Eric Marienthal (Elton John, Chick Corea).
Gibney's discography includes two critically acclaimed EPs — The Serendipity Sessions (2021) and Changin' Times (2026). The Serendipity Sessions earned recognition from President Biden, who invited Noah to meet before a Pennsylvania speech, spent thirty minutes talking with him, and gave him the message: "Don't forget about me when you hit the charts." "Philly Love”, a song from Changin’ Times caught the attention of the Philadelphia Eagles, with the song featured on a Fox Sports broadcast of an Eagles game. Drawing inspiration from Dr. John, Stevie Wonder, Medeski Martin & Wood, and the Grateful Dead, The Noah Gibney Trio delivers dynamic performances that combine soulful vocals, expressive musicianship, and the spontaneity of live improvisation.

Emme Ryan:
Many artists say that they knew from a very young age that they were meant for the stage. For singer songwriter Emme Drago, however, the story is different. She began her music journey by starting to learn the fiddle at age 5, which she still plays to this day. Although she was musically involved that way, she didn’t see music as a career path.
At 15, however, everything changed. Inspired by her dad who had been playing guitar and writing songs her whole life, Emme decided to try it for herself. When she finished her very first original song, it was as if a switch had suddenly flipped on. She was soon writing constantly, and after getting the opportunity to perform one of her original songs, she knew there was no going back. At the end of her senior year in high school, she recorded her first EP and began regularly performing around the area.
For Emme, this is only the beginning of an exciting creative journey. Her music is not able to be confined to one category. Its purpose is simply to connect with peoples’ life experiences and become more personal and relational through each individual interpretation. Influenced by past eras of music, but also including fresh new perspectives, she is forming a sound that is truly her own.
