In the summer of 2015, Rob McCall & Corey Jordan met and founded All Poets & Heroes out of their hometown of Syracuse, NY. That summer, the duo began crafting a sound that explored resonating folk melodies with that of the sensible nostalgia that filled the 90s alternative music scene. Since then, the duo has grown into a full-fledged band developing towards an introspective project that aims to challenge listeners to feel, and to feel deeply. The band is gearing up to release its follow-up album to 2017’s EP, “Where We Lived and What We Lived For” with the lead single, “Life on the Line” currently available on all streaming platforms.  All Poets & Heroes produces music that exposes hurt, longing, and grief and turns those feelings into love, connection, and hope. At a time when the world seems focused on seeking material success and wanting more of everything, AP&H is making music that connects us with human nature and creates hope that people are meant for more. The band juxtaposes a raw rock sound with lyrics and melodies crafted like wandering poetry and linked by catchy refrains, to create music that listeners can relate to and a live sound that makes audiences move.

Currently residing in Manlius, Clove is a local songbird that has started to make a name for herself in the music scene in Syracuse. Leaning more towards an acoustic-indie sound, Clove is best known for playing in small coffee shops and cafes downtown and in the surrounding areas around the city. Her songwriting addresses topics that aren’t usually mainstream, such as self esteem, being single and friendship struggles. She is hoping to expand her repertoire this year and perform at bigger venues in the summer. Mainly, she hopes anyone who listens to her songs can connect to at least one, helping them feel like they’re not  alone in their hardships. Clove released her first EP last year and put out 2 singles this year. In the future, she plans to collaborate with more local artists, drawing inspiration in order to further develop her songwriting and refine her sound.
