About Phemie:
Phemie”s beautiful voice and music can be described as indie, folk, pop with covers by the Cranberries, Tori Amos, Nelly Furtado as well as her own wonderful originals. She is heavily influenced by artists such as Joni Mitchell, PJ Harvey, U2, Tori Amos, Sarah casinos online Machlachlan and others. After acquiring a degree in Music Ed and Voice Performance, Phemie has looked to writing music as a way to fully express her musical passion.

About Kellee:
Every true artist knows how to take the audience for a musical ride. For Kellee Blaylock, the journey of each show begins with a soft strum of a guitar or a gentle blow of a harmonica, but by the end of the performance, the crowd is charmed by his charismatic vocals and joyful instrumentals. And if his voice sounds familiar, it may be because Blaylock’s music has been featured on several reality shows such as Next, Pimp My Ride, Two-A-Days and Tiara Girls
