Embers in Umbra is a Burlington-based pop-rock band featuring powerful female vocals and an energetic, sometimes hard-hitting sound. The band brings both a variety of originals and fun covers to the stage. Having formed in early 2023 and released their debut album, Phases, in the spring of 2024, the band earned recognition from Seven Days for their “strong debut” that is “polished, professional and entirely composed of potential singles.” The album is available on all major streaming platforms.

Noah Kesey Magic Band

Former producer and bandmate for both Greg Freeman and Lily Seabird, Noah Kesey debuts the Noah Kesey Magic Band with the critically acclaimed album Holding Hands Around The World. As described by Chris Farnsworth, it is “a supremely trippy album built on sinuous melodies and chameleonic genre shifts with a vibrant, beating heart at its center.” Kesey’s magic band guides listeners through atmospheric jubilance to sacred electric guitar salvation.
