SNACKTIME was created out of necessity at the height of COVID, performing free shows in Rittenhouse Square and quickly amassing local notoriety. Known for its soul-energizing street performances, the seven-piece brass-heavy band recently released its highly anticipated debut album, Sounds From The Street: Live!, a 10-track recording boasting mood-enhancing musical compilations and 50 minutes of raw, unapologetic, booty-shaking bliss.   SNACKTIME has grown to be a local symbol of positivity and cathartic release, showcasing the richness of Philadelphia's music community from neighborhood festivals to Philadelphia 76ers halftime shows, growing to performance slots at major festivals such as Firefly, The Peach Music Festival, and XPonential Festival, and has been featured by NPR Music, Good Morning America, and The Today Show. The band also curates its own food/music events while also giving back to charitable organizations such as the Working Families Party, SHARE foods, MANNA, Nicole Rhodes Foundation, Krewe of Red Beans, and Jefferson Hospital VAX’d UP Philly.

A native of the Philadelphia area, Max Swan’s earliest forays into music revolved around jazz. Max is a classically-trained saxophonist who has studied under Saturday Night Live band leader Lenny Pickett, and has emerged as an accomplished vocalist and hip hop producer. Max’s unique skillset – coupled with his innate ability to break genre boundaries – has resulted in a distinctive “electrosoul” sound that blends the musicality and improvisational spirit of jazz with elements of 21st Century soul, harmony-rich R&B, and contemporary hip hop.

Born and raised in Rochester, NY, Taylor Kelly is now a fixture in the vibrant Philadelphia music scene further honing her introspective take on jazz, soul, and funk. She combines her smooth, powerful, technically-informed voice with a full horn section, addictive hip hop and electronic beats, and complex arrangements she writes herself with help from long-time collaborator and trombonist Mike Rilli. Both a vocalist and trumpet player, her sound is a dynamic blend of several established genres: she melds the improvisational looseness of jazz, the rhythmic earworms of funk, and the moving resonance of soul to carve out a niche all her own. Kelly names Stevie Wonder, Chet Baker, Roy Hargrove, Art Farmer, and Erykah Badu as influences, integrating strong melodic contour and intricate harmonies into lyrically personal and sonically anthemic tracks.   Kelly is a Berklee College of Music graduate with a Bachelor’s Degree in Professional Music. Along with her band, she has released four albums and performed hundreds of live shows, sharing the stage with Moonchild, Becca Stevens, Monophonics, Neal Francis, Bahamadia, and Georgia Anne Muldrow. She has amassed over half a million listens for her song “California” on Spotify, and is committed to continuing this exploration of music’s ability to incite passion and self-actualization with her EP,  All I Need, which released in February of 2022.
