Madska (pronounced MAD-skuh) started as Maddy Rose Weisman’s solo venture during the crux of the pandemic, as a way to process the loss of relationships, longing for community, and the transition from adolescence to adulthood. Upon moving to Philadelphia, she collected musical conspirators including guitarist Sean Bonney-Burrill, and keyboardist Gabe Banford, who happen to be longtime childhood friends. Madska’s lyricism touches on themes such as yearning, nostalgia, and soul searching with a hopeful twist. Sitting somewhere between indie, pop, and alternative, Madska’s sound is unique in a way that feels introspective but driving, healing but fiery. The project’s name, adopted from Maddy’s childhood nickname, encapsulates everything that Madska epitomizes: rose-colored lenses for the passage of time, and a reminder of what connects us to each other.
The Gnome Kelly is the culmination of the mystic Poconos Mountains and the punk underbelly of Philadelphia. Blending indie rock, punk rock, DIY, and alternative soundscapes, The Gnome Kelly’s sound diversifies from song to song. From influences like REM, The Cure, Built to Spill, The Beatles, Green Day, The Smashing Pumpkins, Modest Mouse, The Microphones, David Lynch, Dostoevsky, Kurt Vonnegut, Black Coffee, Breakfast for Dinner, and many more.
Based out of Perkaise, Pennsylvania, songwriters and musicians (and husband and wife) John and Lauren Schiavone formed Concourse in 2017 and released their self-titled EP. Concourse is emotionally driven alternative/emo/indie rock featuring vocal harmonies, dreamy keys and driving electric guitar.

Taking time to write, and after releasing a few singles, Concourse released a self-produced first LP titled “Songs About Home” in May 2023 with mixing by Jake Clarke and mastering by Ian Farmer. A new single, "Sins" was released in December 2024, along with a music video to accompany it. In April 2025 they released another single, "Away From Here" along with a music video. Both singles were recorded at Studio 4 in Conshohocken, mixed and mastered by Josh Fernandez and Will Yip.

Playing live as a four piece, with bassist Raymond Keely and drummer Steve Kurtz, Concourse has played various shows throughout Bucks County, Lancaster, Lehigh Valley, and Philadelphia.
