Harlem Hayfield is out to spread the gospel of Rustbelt Soul.

A 6-piece ensemble from a small, industrial city called Decatur, Illinois, who have managed to blend key aspects of alternative rock and Motown to create a unique, heartfelt sound. Drawing influence from such bands as Afghan Whigs and The Black Crowes, but with the added touch of neo-soul artists like Curtis Harding & Anthony Hamilton. Since first forming in 2019, Harlem Hayfield has successfully fused sophisticated, catchy melodies enveloped with a barrage of driving guitar tones, all while incorporating gospel-inspired harmonies.

Original rock and roll grown in the birthplace of its founder, St. Louis, MO

Modern Joey is a primarily jam-rock group that encompasses just about every rock subgenre into their original music, alongside an eclectic mix of covers and a guaranteed good time. With endless inspirations, Modern Joey strives to celebrate a universe of styles and genres. Giving everything that classic Modern Joey spin, they aim to bring you a high energy show ripe with dancing, headbanging, stank-faces, and the electric energy that will wake up your soul.

From Milwaukee, WI, the fellas of Modern Joey have been playing music together since 2017. It was a long time coming when they excitedly released their first single, “Light”, in October of 2023. This was followed by another single, “Sweet Dreams” and eventually their debut album, “Hello Sunbeam” was released in April of 2024.

“These songs are a boatload of fun…If you’ve ever been to a Modern Joey show, you know that the boys fully lean into each song’s unique personality and flavor.”
