Conversation includes: - Throwing up at the GRAMMYs - Deciding on booking #UPNEXTFEST - Choosing the lineup for #UPNEXTFEST - Lots of laughs and swears Don't know everyone on the #UPNEXTFEST lineup? That's the point! Maeko: Never one to be defined by a label, Maeko is as genre-less as he is independent. As if sewing an heirloom blanket, Maeko infuses pieces of himself into everything he crafts. Our recommended track: Cool Sectiontoo: Hailing from Queens, New York, singer/songwriter Sectiontoo prides himself on diverse musicianship, while maintaining consistent connection with his growing fanbase. Sectiontoo and his production partner, identity crisis, deliver moody strains of emotionally-driven R&B, blended with soulfully constructed lo-fi harmonies. Our recommended track: Come See Me Tonight Retrograded: Retrograded is the solo project of California born, Brooklyn resident Jackson Klarsfeld. Inspirations include feeling cozy, film grain, light through trees, and figuring it out as you go. Our recommended track: Hi, I Miss You STEFAN THEV: While STEFAN THEV has been making music for the better part of the last decade, he started from scratch in 2021. Reaching a point in his artistic journey where he had created himself anew, STEFAN’s freshly renovated catalog is one that stands with vast formidability. Making use of a post punk style of instrumentation, and coating it with a fluttering array of vocals that contain a high prevalence of energy, STEFAN is an all-encompassing artist! Our recommended track: ghouls! zombies! skeletons! https://www.ticketweb.com/event/music-youre-missings-upnextfest-sonia-tickets/12678025?pl=mideastclub&REFID=Brendanjeannetti
