About the Artists:

DENM

Listen: https://linktr.ee/DENM

With the release of his genre-hopping debut album, Slum Beach Denny, it’s time to add DENM to the storied list of Southern California’s musical ambassadors. And like his most recent predecessors – Slightly Stoopid and Sublime – the 20-something musician, songwriter, and producer drops plenty of hazy daze optimism into his melting pot of youth culture and life experience, emerging with a 21st century soundtrack from SoCal’s sun-kissed sand, surf, and streets. DENM has been a highly sought-after creative force in the indie music scene for over a decade, evolving – thankfully and successfully – from years as an admittedly troubled teen bouncing from beach town to beach town. As much as itinerant residencies across SoCal marked his personal narrative, they also fostered deeply authentic and eclectic sources of inspiration to constantly grind out new material guided by a prolific list of mentors and peers. “Instead of trying to prove people wrong, I want to make sure that the people that believed in me are right.” Visit denmdenmdenm.com to learn more and catch him live during his 2024 Winter Tour.

Little Stranger

Born and raised in Philly, crash landed in Charleston, Kevin and John Shields are breaking into previously uncharted waters with their quirky indie hip-hop group, Little Stranger. Between John’s melodic singer-songwriter magnetism, Kevin’s in-your-face delivery, and an overall undeniable groove, this duo is sure to get any audience up and moving. Stylistically reminiscent of Gorillaz and Odelay-era Beck, Little Stranger delivers a fresh take on melodic hip-hop with a signature uniqueness and strangeness that their name implies. The duo has perfected their live performance by playing over 100 shows per year and puts a big focus on creating arresting visual experiences through their music videos, their own eccentric television program (LSTV), and in-house graphics.

Bikini Trill

Formed in 2017 by vocalist Lauren ‘LJ’ Johnson, bassist, Kourosh ‘Roach’ Poursalehi, and guitarist, Tony Barker Stern. The group seamlessly blend electronic, hip-hop drums, skank island guitars, and dreamy vocal melodies to create a sound that has been compared to the likes of Santigold, Sublime, and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
