Adam Blackwood
Adam Blackwood, born and raised in Milwaukee, is a singer-songwriter who blends musical genres such as pop, rock, funk, and so much more. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Adam took it upon himself to write his own solo music. His debut single, "One of a Kind," was released in 2022. His debut album "Underdressed" was released shortly after in early 2023. His creative juices kept flowing into 2024, where his sophomore album "Pessimistic Jellyfish" was released. Adam has continued to challenge himself artistically as his third eponymous album, "Adam Blackwood," was released in 2025 with much more mature and broader themes, so people can get to know him. Adam's rapidly growing repertoire dives into themes of confrontation, fear, anxiety, worry, and pessimism. To contrast his dour lyrical themes, he makes it his goal to put on the most memorable live show he can and hopes to continue his passions going forward.
John Stanford
John Stanford, a trained vocalist originally from Rockford, Illinois, moved to Milwaukee in 2018 with the intent of becoming an educator. What started as a professional shift quickly became a personal transformation, as he fell in love with the city’s vibrant music scene and creative spirit. Over the years, John has accomplished a great deal—both as a performer and as a mentor—but one goal continues to drive him: building and strengthening Milwaukee’s music community through meaningful collaboration. Whether on stage or behind the scenes, John remains committed to connecting artists, creating space for shared growth, and ensuring that music in Milwaukee thrives for generations to come. John is currently serving as a Voice Teacher at Mosaic Creative Studios in Brookfield, Teaching Artist with Kids From Wisconsin. While teaching is a gift and a form of ministry, John strives to continue to explore his limits in performance and never shies away from sharing his soul and his gifts. John has sung in very small, intimate settings to large arenas. Every time he gets to share his gift with the world, there is a message that even the smallest gesture, encounter, or song can change your entire day and life. John just celebrated 2 single releases in September 2025, “You Looked My Way” and “Slow Feet” by John Stanford. Music can be found on all platforms: YouTube, Apple Music, Tidal, Spotify, Amazon, etc
Bowvee
Colombian American indie pop outfit Bowvee is the creation of 20-year-old Nick Bove. In 2023, Bowvee released its first album "Cool Guy" as a newcomer in Milwaukee. After spending a year playing out in the city, becoming familiar with the culture and community, Bowvee now takes a tonal shift in the music. Their upcoming album "Pumpkin Pie" is a pivot towards a more raw and honest sound. Building upon past singles "La Croix", "SIDE EYE" and "Pumpkin Pie", Bowvee intends to push barriers both lyrically and sonically. Jangly guitars and bright melodies still lead the way, but now within context of growing up and moving on from adolescence.
