Known for his buttery voice and distinct strumming, guitarist, singer-songwriter and bandleader John Roseboro has been making a name for himself in the Brooklyn indie scene, redefining and innovating the genre with Brazilian jazz and mysticism. Building off of the likes of João Gilberto and Antônio Carlos Jobim, Roseboro’s post-bossa style carries other similarities to the greats in that his music focuses on personal and social justice, undertaking major themes such as human rights, love, and religion, being described as "probably the music that will heal the world... impossible to be indifferent, in voice and soul.” John cites his upbringing, particularly living with the Amish and years as a mortician, as informing his playing and perspective. The new artist has received praise from indie giants Men I Trust, Frankie Cosmos, Field Medic, Thee Sacred Souls, drawing comparisons to King Krule, Steve Lacy, Burt Bacharach, and Elliott Smith.

Nathan Dies is a Brazilian multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, and producer based in Brooklyn, NY. His music blends the textures of experimental electronic music with the rhythmic and melodic sensibilities of Brazilian songwriting. Drawing from drum machines, textural synths, and nylon-string guitar, his sound sits somewhere between James Blake and Milton Nascimento. His 2024 album Laila (YB Music) marked a breakout moment, launching with a sold-out show at Public Records in New York and followed by a European tour. The project was brought to life both solo and in a striking quartet featuring strings, percussion, and electronics — delivering immersive performances that resonated across genres and settings. Beyond his own work, Nathan has produced albums and led musical direction for artists including Alici and Sophie Hunter, supporting tours with Hope Tala and Sleigh Bells. With a growing international presence and a compelling live show, Nathan is carving out a space where experimental soundscapes meet raw emotional depth.
