Flamy Grant
© Weeno Photography 2024
Award-winning and Billboard-charting artist Flamy Grant is a shame-slaying, hip-swaying, singing-songwriting drag queen from western North Carolina. Her 2022 debut record, Bible Belt Baby, was nominated for Best Pop Album at the San Diego Music Awards and was named one of the Top Ten Queer Country Albums of 2023 by Rainbow Rodeo Magazine. Flamy is a winner of the 2023 Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Competition and a nominee for the 2023 QueerX Award for Best Drag Artist. She has been featured in Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, People, Billboard, and more. Both a powerhouse vocalist and an intrepid songwriter, Flamy blends the art of drag with her iconic folk/rock sound to create a memorable musical experience.
Flamy is the first drag performer to appear on Christian music charts, with both her song “Good Day” and her Album Bible Belt Baby reaching #1 on iTunes — the latter staying at the top for nine consecutive days. Additionally, “Good Day” debuted at #20 on Billboard’s Christian digital sales chart. Her music has over 750,000 streams on Spotify, Apple, and Amazon. Flamy has collaborated with Adeem the Artist, Jennifer Knapp, Semler, and Derek Webb. In addition to playing the New Folk winner’s showcase at the 2023 Kerrville Folk Festival, she has played Wild Goose Festival in North Carolina, San Diego Pride’s SheFest, and headlined Blount County Pride in East Tennessee, where she won a court victory after a local district attorney threatened to enforce Tennessee’s drag ban.
It’s no accident that Flamy’s drag name is an homage to Amy Grant, the undisputed queen of Christian music and 90s chart-topping pop artist. Much of Flamy’s music centers on the queer spiritual journey, telling stories of resilience and recovery from religious trauma in a world where LGBTQ+ people are frequently ignored by, harmed in, or ejected from religious spaces. With a bold lip, a big lash, and a blistering voice, Flamy drags audiences to a soulful, uplifting church of her own making. This down-to-earth diva has entertained music lovers from Los Angeles to Nashville with her funny, frank, and fabulous songs.

“A cheeky country-disco track… guaranteed to smear a smile across your face as bold as a heavy lip.” —Rachel Cholst, TheBoot.com
“Her vocals are not post-production magic… her strong voice helps carry sincere lyrics.” —Regina Elling, San Diego Union-Tribune

Radha – tabla
Raji Malik – guitar

Raji Malik has performed and recorded hard rock and instrumental Indian-influenced music in the Philadelphia area for the past 30 years. He is self-taught and started playing guitar when he was 19. Raji’s initial musical influences were the great rock guitarists Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), Jimi Hendrix, and David Gilmour (Pink Floyd). Then he discovered Shakti, featuring 3 masterful Indian musicians and guitar legend John Mclaughlin playing a modified sitar-like acoustic guitar. Raji promptly put away his electric guitar and immersed himself in the pure tones of the acoustic guitar. Raji finds deep inspiration from many brilliant “Modern Fingerstyle” guitarists who are all disciples of the late Michael Hedges, who reinvented the acoustic guitar with his harmonic percussive playing. Raji hopes that his music brings peace, healing, and inspiration.
May this music bring you an appreciation of your goodness and a deeper sense of interconnection. May we all continue to challenge ourselves to grow with honest self-reflection so that we may more clearly channel love. That is why we are here.

Barakka

Barakka is a Philadelphia-based, multi-national, multi-ethnic band led by singer/guitarist and İstanbul native Barış Kaya. The band has been playing consistently since 2010. Barakka’s music, like its members, takes its influence from a very wide variety of sources, which can plainly be heard through their various recordings and videos. In the U.S. it is easy to characterize this as world music, but the combination of sounds and styles is certainly not unique to listeners of Turkish music. Barakka’s strength is that their sound has come together as the result of friends from different parts of the world who have found magic in the way their shared backgrounds can combine into a unique music experience.
This style has gotten the attention of various groups and organizations the band has been honored to work with. Over the years, Barakka has been fortunate to share the stage multiple times with such Turkish music figures as Moğollar (in their first-ever US performance), Yeni Türkü, Mirkelam, Mehmet Erdem, Gripin, and Mor Ve Ötesi. Organizations such as the Turkish-American Friendship Society and the Collingswood Arts Commission have relied on the group to bring its unique music to audiences in the U.S. over the years. The band has appeared in a very wide variety of venues and events, from New York clubs such as Drom, Mehanata, and Nublu to Philadelphia area appearances at World Café Live, Franky Bradley’s, The Legendary Dobbs, Turks Head Festival, and an appearance at the Wells Fargo Center before a Philadelphia 76ers NBA game.
The group’s sound is based on its original songwriting. These songs, along with a carefully chosen body of traditional and cover songs, are enriched by the instrumental interplay between guitar and oud. Band arrangements are born out of this relationship, bringing out the passion and energy of the songs. This unique combination began in the Old City section of Philadelphia, where the duo of Roger Mgrdichian (oud) and Joseph Tayoun (darbuka) were the house musicians at a local Turkish restaurant, Konak, in the historic Old City neighborhood. This was only blocks from where they made their mark in the city, spearheading a world music renaissance in the late 1990s centered around the Tayoun family’s Middle East Restaurant. Mgrdichian and Tayoun collaborated on many diverse projects over the years and are founding members of the Indian-Middle Eastern ensemble Jaffna. A longstanding process of experimentation and fusion had begun, flourishing whenever new and exciting musicians arrived in the city.
Barış Kaya began working at Konak in 2007 only a few years after arriving in the US and quickly brought his music to the scene. In Turkey, the singer and guitarist was primarily a rock musician, having played in several bands with Western influences and modern sounds. He also was an accomplished songwriter, having had some early success with the song Ölüm in 2004, which expanded his style with a delicate acoustic folk sound. It wasn’t long before the 3 musicians were regularly playing together, finding much common ground despite seemingly different musical backgrounds. The irony of a Turkish-born rock musician arriving in the US and playing with Armenian-American and Lebanese-American musicians, who both learned to play Turkish and Middle Eastern music while born in the US, was not lost on them. Nor was it lost on patrons, who enjoyed the nontradi0onal combination which in many ways easily mirrored the east/west folk-rock approach of such Turkish music pioneers as Moğollar and Yeni Türkü known as Anadolu Rock. The possibility of actually working with these legends was not something the trio had ever anticipated in its future, but once their sound started to grow and arrangements became more sophisticated, newer songs enabled an expanded band and exciting opportunities.
Joseph’s brother William Tayoun was soon recruited to play piano and keyboards with the group, which added elements of classical and progressive rock as well as a healthy background in Middle Eastern sounds and keyboard effects. Different bass players and drummers were added to the mix soon after, until the band came close to defining a sound which they were proud of. The CD Uzaklardan was recorded in 2012 in the studio of their then-drummer Jim Hamilton (Boyz 2 Men). Internationally celebrated drummer Engin Kaan Gunaydin (New York Gypsy All-Stars) who had played with the band in the past, is also featured on several songs.

The album represented a landmark in multi-hyphenated music (east-west, folk-rock, Turkish-American, multi-ethnic, and multi-national, to name a few) and immediately made its impact on fans and critics as well. New York Music Daily raved that, even with the majority of the record’s lyrics sung in Turkish, “their relentlessly intense, mostly minor-key anthems are memorable and o=en haun>ng, transcending any language barrier.” The band found this effect to be a big part of their appeal, as American audiences could appreciate the playing, melodicism, and emotions in the music, which seemed to resonate even stronger with the inclusion of non-Western instruments. Turkish audiences also appreciated the band’s approach, having accomplished this subtle fusion of styles as a natural consequence of friends simply writing and playing music together, regardless of their backgrounds.
Barakka has been fortunate to work with some visionary filmmakers over the years, starting with Marc Brodzik of Philadelphia’s own Woodshop Films and the music video for Ağit (2013). The anti-war anthem skillfully weaves band performance footage with emotional archival footage, marking its message with the repeated refrain “There must be another way,” which can be seen as an appropriate credo for the band.
Barakka made its first trip to Turkey as a band in the spring of 2014. Unfortunately, several scheduled performances were canceled as the country was devastated by the Soma mine explosion shortly after their arrival. 300 miners lost their lives, and live music was suspended during the national period of mourning. Filmed and directed by Andrew Geller, the music video for X, along with the film Uzaklardan – From a Distance, document this sad time in Turkey as the band tried to make sense of things amidst this tragedy. Subsequent videos for Alevler İçindeyim (2019) and Son (2020) were both made by visiting filmmaker Cevahir Unal, as the band welcomed new drummer Poyraz Aldemir, a Turkish-born musician residing in Brooklyn, New York.
During the global COVID-19 pandemic, the band stayed busy by creating 2 stay-at-home videos: Hediye, which was shot in pieces by band members in their homes (end edited by Andrew Geller), and the animated Hepsi Bu, which sees them all rendered as cartoon characters in a lighthearted spoof of television commercials. The band’s newest video, their
treatment of the Turkish pop hit Kınalı Bebek, was directed by Kat Tingum in 2022. Barakka has had 2 recent tours of Turkey, making a special effort to bring music to many smaller cities which have not seen much touring from bands since the onset of COVID and the ensuing economic hardships. Since 2022 the band has played in Gelibolu, Çanakkale, Kayaköy, Mersin, Adana, İzmir, Eskişehir, and Van, in addition to several shows in İstanbul. While Barakka continues to write and develop new music, the band has always prided itself on interpreting and celebrating the classic works of Turkish composers such as Aşık Veysel, Tanburi Cemil Bey, Şehrazat, Erkin Koray and Ara Dinkjian.

Coop a Loop

Coop a Loop is the solo project of Philadelphia bass virtuoso Eric Cooper. After years of bringing tight bass and deep pocket playing to ensembles across Philly, Coop a Loop has brandished a looper and become the ensemble himself, maintaining a focus on melody and electronic bass guitar music that defies any expectation from a “looping bass player”.
Sure, you hear the hallmarks of contemporary bass-forward excellence: ultra-clean slap and double-thumb techniques, smooth and tight fingerstyle work, and enough funk to give anyone a serious case of Stank Face. Focus on that too much, however, and you might miss the driving rhythms, synthy laser beams, and ambient textures generated through a series of cleverly-utilized effects. Coop a Loop’s music is a blend of electronic, funk, jam, indie, and ambient music.
His sound is not only unique, but the visual aspect of watching loops being created and hearing these soundscapes take shape is exciting to witness, whether solo or with his band. Coop a Loop’s live performances are electric, igniting the crowd with high-energy grooves and irresistible rhythms that keep everyone dancing all night.
With a new album coming out in the Spring 2025, this year is shaping up to be the biggest year for Coop a Loop yet.

Chris Kasper
Chris Kasper is an American songwriter who is currently based in the Philadelphia area. He’s been active in the local and national scene for the last 20 years. Over that time, he has released seven records and toured with acts like Amos Lee and The Wood Brothers. His music traverses the Americana, blues, folk, and rock spectrums, blurring the lines between genres. Kasper’s evolution into a no-nonsense songwriter is heard throughout his latest album, Sunlight in an Empty Room.

Sunlight in an Empty Room (featuring Oliver Wood of the Wood Brother’s and G.Love) under the Royal Potato Family label was just released in May.

It is Kasper’s seventh full-length record. It is alive with nods to songwriters of the 70s like Bobby Charles, Lowell George, and Neil Young. Kasper also drew inspiration from the artwork of Edward Hopper and Andrew Wyeth, embodying the musical essence of illuminating the small worlds within a larger space, focusing on the bittersweet beauty of simplicity often lost in grandiose landscapes.
This musical odyssey was prompted by a thought-provoking mantra he’d heard urging individuals to “Do something that scares you.” Kasper resonated with it as a challenge to let his guard down, be vulnerable, get out of his comfort zone and let a new type of record-making venture take shape. He reached out to accomplished engineer/ bass player Brook Sutton, and drummer/ musician extraordinaire, Jano Rix (both recognized for their work with The Wood Brothers), to set aside a long weekend at their Nashville studio. With the final addition of musician JP Ruggieri, sought out for his distinctive guitar work, Chris went to Nashville without demos or finished lyrics to record live-to-tape with a band he never worked with before. Thus, “do something that scares you.”

Chris has supported numerous country-wide tours since 2013, touring with The Wood Brothers, G. Love & Special Sauce and Amos Lee multiple times.
He’s recently received some great playlist adds, including Spotify’s ‘The Pulse of Americana’, ‘Emerging Americana’, and ‘The Wilds’ and Apple Music’s ‘Southern Craft’.

New album: https://royalpotatofamily.com/press/chris-kasper/

“His music sips from the cool and refreshing waters of soulful songwriters, old bluesmen, sonic architects, fine poetry & a well-traveled spirit.”

“Raising people’s vibrations with my art!”
I am an artist and lover of life. A dedicated husband and father of four awesome children, I am inspired by my kid’s enthusiasm and curiosity for life and nature. I am also an ex-Marine and Combat veteran and I apply that same discipline earned in the Marine Corps to my practice of creation.
My art is very playful and uplifting and is meant to bring a smile to your face. With harmonious color schemes and fluid lines, these one-of-a-kind pieces are sure to keep your eyes and mind moving. My first love was drawing and I have stayed true to a very illustrative style, focusing on original characters and abstract shapes. I mainly work with acrylic on canvas, but have also painted several large-scale outdoor murals for the HUE Fest, organized by the City of Houston.
In addition to painting, I hold a BFA in Graphic Design from West Chester University and have created many graphics and logos over the years.

Colebrook Road

Keeping a band together and continuing to grow is a difficult task, but Colebrook Road has done just that, staying true to their bluegrass vision for a decade and a half. After creating four studio albums, touring coast to coast, and surviving the crushing blow of the pandemic, the band seeks to find new audiences and make new music all the while remembering where they came from.
With two albums in the top ten on the Billboard Music Chart in 2019 and 2021, a nomination for the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Momentum Band Award in 2020, and a radio chart topping single in 2019, the band has worked hard to gain national notoriety.
Based out of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and comprised of lead singer, guitar picker and songwriter Jesse Eisenbise, upright bassist and tenor vocalist Jeff Campbell, mandolin player Wade Yankey, fiddle player, songwriter and baritone vocalist Joe McAnulty, and banjoist and bass vocalist Mark Rast, they continue to hone their skills through a strong connection of friendship and a love of all things music.
Colebrook Road has developed a sound of their own centered in original songwriting, new interpretations, intricate arrangement, and unbridled improvisation, with a nod to the innovators who came before. It is obvious to any audience that the band shares a joy in making music together, and has worked hard on improving over time

“While emphasizing their instrumental and vocal versatility, Colebrook Road insists on staying true to the spirit and sound of a bluegrass band.”
— TED LEHMANN, IBMA NOMINATED BLUEGRASS PRINT/MEDIA PERSON OF THE YEAR, IN “NO DEPRESSION”
“Lyrically and musically well constructed, with haunting harmonies and great instrumental breaks by all members…Multiple band and solo bluegrass contest award winners…[they] are definitely a group to check out.”
— KATHY HICKS MURRAY, IN “LIVE MUSIC NEWS AND REVIEW”

Morel

Morel began in Kutztown, Pennsylvania in 2015. Guitar player Will Gardiner and drummer Brett Flynn met during an epic kitchen jam session in the infamous neighborhood, the Cliffs! The two formed a quick bond. Will’s smooth soaring guitar with Brett drumming in perfect patterns. As the two kept working on their craft, it was Will who first started playing gigs. Originally playing as a solo musician, Will charmed large crowds with his abilities to loop and improvise.
Eventually, Brett started playing with Will at his gigs and that is when the hunt for the other Morels began. The band had a couple of auditions but when they foraged bass player, Brad Herring, and guitar player, Matt Vitali, that is when they started to grow. Morel then began to take their true honeycomb form. Dazzling local audiences and making a name for themselves in other communities.
Come on out to forage some delectable live music and get your groove on with Morel!
