justmadnice
From minimalist, delicate, folk tunes to a stage performance that will shake you to your soul, justmadnice is entering into an era of experimental sound. While still holding onto their love of minimalism, they are clearly influenced by elements of noise, psychedelic rock, and negro spirituals. Names like Billie Holiday come to mind when you hear their spellbinding vocals and their choice of instrumentation hits right in the pocket of blues and jazz. Brushes on the drums, trumpet in the air, guitar licks coming straight from the gut. justmadnice isn’t interested in sticking to any one genre, but rather creating the sonic world that best communicates their spirit, their song, and that tangible intangible force that connects us all.
Mare
Mare, an American singer, songwriter, vocal arranger, and keyboardist is known for her rich alto voice, distinctive sound and creative musical arrangements. After fully embarking on a full time artist career and showcasing her huge voice, small physique and quirky personality, there is no question that large things come in very small packages. Mare has performed on many stages across the East coast, including the legendary “SOB’s” and as an opener for the R&B artist and internet sensation, Jade Novah. Recently, an original written song was placed on the hit CW show, Black Lightning. Her strong alto voice can also be found sharing the stage, as a background vocalist, for Ari Lennox, for recent performances on Jimmy Kimmel, Dreamville Fest and Coachella. Mare’s EP, “Wish Me Well” and latest single “No Joke”, are available on all digital platforms, encouraging her listeners to be comfortable with transparency and navigating through the side effects of life.
Noel Scales
