Seven Teller is the art-rock brainchild of Baltimore musician and songwriter Sam Cochran, who started the project in 2021. A blend of funk, dance, and roots music nourishes the band’s unique, immersive sound. During live performances, the group improvises between songs by adding psychedelic textures on top of fun, upbeat rhythms. Their devoted fanbase, called “Teller Family,” travels hours to concerts, so the band tries to make each night feel more spontaneous and special than the last. There are moments too when the whole room becomes connected to the music and it feels like there is no band or audience. Moments like these are what the band strives for. Seven Teller’s new record ‘Jester’ just came out this summer.

Humbalaya is a 7-piece group based out of Washington DC, incorporating elements of funk, rock, latin, and jazz fusion into one tasty groove-filled dish, good enough for the whole family.
