Wicked Mercies:
Wicked Mercies are a soul band from San Francisco. The line-up features vocals that embody the classic sound of all great female – fronted soul acts through out time. The band is made up of players with roots in soul, R&B, funk and punk. The band takes a stripped down, un-pretentious approach to the music, grabbing a hold of the grooves and driving them into the sound. Wicked Mercies have received local and international airplay including critical acclaim from the Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show BBC6 Music.

Titan Ups:
“Who could have predicted the early reggae and rocksteady music revival that took hold in California over the last two years? Not that we’re complaining: Bands regularly take the stage to perform vintage Jamaican sounds from an era when the island’s music incorporated American R&B, funk, and psychedelic pop, and used Hammond organs for its unique shuffle rhythms. Former Oranger member Bob Reed leads Titan Ups, a seven-member outfit that plays both originals and covers of songs from Jamaican acts like the Maytals, the Pioneers, and the Techniques. Wicked Mercies offer retro-fueled Stax-era funk, respectively, yanking audience members out of their seats whenever they play live.” – SF Weekly
