"Sell out warning! 2050s beatsmiths will plunder Butcher Brown records, creating an unbroken link that runs from Roy Ayers and Herbie to Dilla, D’Angelo, Erykah and Kendrick. Such is the future-classic force of their sprawling jazz, their snatches of neo-soul and P-funk rap slap, the way they marry bossa groove and smooth Rhodes psych… Butcher ain’t a band, they’re cosmic messengers!"

BUTCHER BROWN
Pulsing from the nerve center of Jellowstone Studios in Richmond, VA, Butcher Brown takes careful note of the history and legacy of jazz and throws caution to the wind. Their musical vibe blends jazz with hip hop, funk, rap, rock and soul. The group honors each musical genre and, at the same time, challenges traditional musical boundaries. The result is their most exciting collection of tracks to date. Butcher Brown features Tennishu, Morgan Burrs, Corey Fonville, Andrew Randazzo, and DJ Harrison.
ALAMAY
Alamay is a Bristol-based artist blending influences from her Ethiopian heritage with soul, jazz and thoughtful, deeply personal songwriting. Since her 2019 debut EP Aurora, created with longtime collaborator Omar Cassius, she has continued to evolve through releases including How to Swim and 2025's Surrender. Having performed at Glastonbury, Shambala and Love Saves the Day, and supported namesbliss and RUBII, Alamay is laying the foundations for an exciting new chapter in her artistry.
