hey, we’re young rising sons and we’re from brooklyn, ny.
since 2010, when we decided to start a band in steve’s parents' basement, highs and lows have been our mantra (somewhat literally).
we’ve been played on the radio, signed a major record deal, then dropped from said major label, toured the us, canada, and the uk where we played some cool festivals, a lot of sold-out shows, and also some shows to a crowd of 5 people including the bar staff (perhaps this is why you’re not supposed to write your own bio, but unapologetic honesty is kind of our thing).
our band is about embracing the journey, valuing the perspective we get from the lows, while soaking in the highs. the growing pains, the ebb & flow, and the unpredictability of life is what defines us as humans, and we’ve been able to experience all of it together as best friends. that’s what we like to write songs about.
we’re young rising sons, and we’re a band from brooklyn.
much love,
andy, steve, julian & max

About The Steepwater Band
You should already know these songs. If the old saying about talent equaling success were true, then The Steepwater Band would already be a household name, rubbing shoulders with Aerosmith, Bad Company and other like-minded travelers in our collective Rock 'n Roll Fantasy. But that's not how things always work, and this band knows it and still leans into it, smiling, with everything in them, not for brass rings and marquees, but because they must! For them, the music life is a calling and not some stupid costume one puts on to shake loose gold, fame, and groupies. In a land of caricatures, it's striking to come face-to-face with the real thing.
Something primal lurks in their music, but always wrestling with emotions and stories that are everyday-ready ~ music at once strut-inducing sexy and brass knuckles honest, a sound evolved smartly & patiently through countless gigs, running the bulls whenever and wherever they've been welcomed since 1998. AC/DC once said, "If you got the dollar, we got the song / Just wanna boogie woogie all night long," and The Steepwater Band surely embodies this lip-smacking urge to get some in this mean old world, befitting the group's Chicago roots and their earthy understanding of crackling city blues.
The abiding, resounding passion inside this band is never in question. Dive into their seemingly endless catalog of songs just about anywhere, and the heart and muscle pumping away inside every track are palpable and present in a most pleasing way. Their sound is like a soundtrack for arm wrestling The Devil and then drinking shots with him 'til sunrise after you've pinned him down. Their songs bridge the miles between lovers, throw lines to brothers and sisters in need of some understanding and a spark that makes them shuffle, eyes closed, shaking off the day's heavy load, ready for another round because the right song by the right band made them feel they had enough fight left in them. That's the kind of band you're dealing with here, and they'll be doing this long after all the pretty boys, package acts, and pretenders have left the stage. - Dennis Cook

A$AP Twelvyy isn’t who you’d typically describe as the strong, silent type. But, when you stand next to personalities like A$AP Rocky and A$AP Ferg, it’s easy to be relegated to 6th man status. But, every time Twelvyy’s number has been called, he has delivered. Since 2006, the Harlem MC has been making a name for himself as one of the illest voices of his generation with his lyrical dexterity and live showmanship. His debut solo album was released on RCA in 2017. And, his subsequent indie releases received much critical acclaim. Now, with a strong social media presence due to his state to state pop up experiences and his knowledge of consumers based on his own Harlem clothing retail stores, he’s ready to put his stamp on the game!
Get ready for a cosmic collision of funk, punk, and grunge at the Jason R Flood Memorial's latest concert!
Come on out and support the JRFM's mission of Healing Through Music and Connecting with Community at this unforgettable show with these soon to be rockstars!
Morgan St. Jean
Deemed your new ‘favorite up-and-coming angst-y, feminist, and socially aware pop princess’ Morgan St. Jean is bringing a whole lot of glamor and grit to the pop scene with her unfiltered lyrics, jaw dropping delivery, and unapologetic messages. In 2020 St. Jean’s collaboration with Loud Luxury, Aftertaste, went to #8 on Billboard’s Top 40 in Canada, #10 on Billboard’s Dance Chart Globally, and went Platinum in Canada after generating over 100 million streams worldwide. She then began releasing her solo music and took social media by storm. St. Jean’s first viral single ‘Not All Men,’ helped Morgan garner over 400k Tik Tok followers and over 180k Instagram followers in a matter of months. Inspired by the statistic that 97% of women are sexually assaulted at some point in their life, St. Jean tells her own story in the empowering ballad. As a result of the new genre St. Jean has created, which she calls ‘feminist pop,' thousands of other women have come forward with their own experiences, and together with St. Jean, have created a powerful community of women online with Morgan’s music as their soundtrack. Since establishing herself as a voice for women everywhere, St. Jean has continued to tackle important subjects through her music, while simultaneously building her community online. Her song, ‘Do It Like A Girl’ became an anthem for women all over the world, and the perfect avenue for them to celebrate their accomplishments. She then released yet another viral hit entitled ‘Energy (Lucky Me), which has been streamed 10s of millions of times and used in hundreds of thousands of videos online. Morgan's electric live show has resulted in her being asked to support on three different tours within the last year, including a support slot opening for X Ambassadors throughout Europe. She has performed in the Lady Gaga x Global Citizens 'One World: Together At Home' Concert, at SXSW, and LA’s Schoonight. Her debut headline show in Los Angeles solidified St. Jean as a once in a generation performer. She has been featured on the cover of Spotify’s Created by Women playlist as well as Spotify editorial playlists like SALT, Femme Fatale, Sad Hour and countless others.

Puppeteers for Fears is an Oregon-based comedy troupe, specializing in original horror and science fiction rock’n’roll musicals performed with puppets. The company was founded as a one-night-only cabaret show for Halloween 2015, but was so popular that its various members kept going and never looked back. In the time since, PFF has written and performed a half dozen original rock and roll musicals covering everything from supernatural monsters to killer robots to lonely sasquatches, and sold out venues all over the west coast with its innovative and hilarious combination of puppetry, video, and live music.
The Dangerous Summer signed their first record deal as high school seniors and quickly
established themselves among the alt-rock world’s elite. The band writes hooks that serve as
soundtracks for important life moments for a diverse group of listeners spread across the globe.
The audience is more family than a fanbase. "Reach for the Sun" is the record that “shot them
into the pop-punk pantheon” (Kerrang!). Powered by unshakeable, enduring alt-rock anthems,
the Ellicott City, Maryland band’s debut album made them heroes of the Warped Tour world, all
while they carved their own unique path. 2011’s "War Paint" was a sophomore-slump-smashing
follow-up. Alternative Press saluted The Dangerous Summer as a group that stayed true to their
sound, praising the songs on their 2018 self-titled comeback album as equal parts charismatic
and addictive. 2019’s "Mother Nature" conjured an emotional storm, with an uplifting bent.
Underoath’s Aaron Gillespie appeared on the 2020 EP, All That Is Left Of The Blue Sky.
Produced by Will Beasley (Turnstile, Asking Alexandria), 2022’s "Coming Home" ushers in a
new era for TDS. The Dangerous Summer never sacrificed their unique, diverse sonic identity,
one that appeals to fans of everything from Kings Of Leon and Coldplay to Jimmy Eat World and
Bright Eyes. "Coming Home" is a triumphant summary of what The Dangerous Summer is all
about, past, present, and future.
