There’s something to be said for resonance. That instant when your ears start to tingle, the hairs on the back of your arm stand on end, and electricity hangs so heavy in the air that you could reach out and touch it. When those moments happen, it’s like catching lightning in a bottle. That’s Julia Knight.

The Nashville-based songstress has been electrifying Music City, working to bring that spectral spark into every second of her music. Her first single, “Ghost of You,” weaves hazy dream-soaked synths and star-drenched production with cascading hooks and billowing sonics.

At once ceaselessly powerful and beautifully vulnerable, this haunting debut winds it way through melodies that are as artful as they are hooky. Topped off with Julia’s effortless vocal prowess, there’s a surefire smash built into the song’s very DNA that’s guaranteed to stick with you from the very first listen.

Starting out on the acoustic circuit in early 2011, Thomas Suggs began his playing career as a solo performer, but in the fall of that year he was asked to join All the Little Pieces.  During the next four years with the band, Thomas played more than 100 shows and festivals throughout Kentucky, but also played gigs in Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville, Cincinnati, Louisville, and Charleston, SC.  During his time with the band, he recorded two albums with ATLP. 

​

Crowe & Edenspeak.

She’s been called wise beyond her years, accomplished and award-winning, but Sydney Cubit’s path to success has been paved with hard work, tenacity and humility. Her fearless pursuit of music began with an early love for music. At age 10, while attending the School for Creative and Performing Arts as a vocal major, she picked up a guitar…and NEVER put it down! After learning a few chords, she began writing her own music. She never looked back, pursing every opportunity to play and sing out. 

​

The music community of Lexington, KY rallied behind her talent. She was mentored by local musicians and songwriters providing opportunities co-write  with  seasoned  writers,  perform  on  professional  stages,  to  hone  her performance  skills  and  also afforded opportunities to learn  the  difference  between  the  stage  and  the studio  production. At age 13, she wrote and recorded her first EP and released her first music video in December 2012 and March 2013. 

​

She continued to write and play throughout high school and at age 16 was a Finalist on Season 7 of The Voice. In 2013, Sydney was awarded the National Association of Country Music International’s “Most Promising New Songwriter” and in 2015 was honored with “Best Pop Artist,” a peer selected award, at the Lexington Music Awards. Her unstoppable pursuit of music led her to finish high school early and move to Nashville at age 17 to be immersed in it. 

​

Sydney’s unwavering commitment to pursing music despite the inevitable ups and downs, led her to protect her reputation during her teen years, knowing that one day she would be looked at as a role model for other young girls. "When I step  on  stage, I want young artists to know, it’s ok to be weird...it’s ok to be different....as long as you are true to yourself."

After deciding in April to expand his horizons and play in front of people, he became acquainted with SDML, as well as the members of the band 5 minutes left, who he now is the frontman for. His biggest influences span the horizons of everything from Incubus to Nirvana to Slipknot to Metallica. After meeting Paulie Felice at an open mic he could see that not only was there a talent but a need to improve, and he hopes to one day be a proficient enough player that it can be more than a hobby.
