Moody alt-rock fusion group.
Based in Jacksonville, Star Collar is a four-piece that specializes in unabashed fusion.
Since they started releasing originals in 2022, Star Collar has been growing in the Florida DIY scene. Along with the usual instruments one might see in a rock group (electric guitar, bass, drums, keys), this band also experiments with saxophones and the occasional synthesizer.
Adept bluegrass ensemble from South Florida.
Bound by their love for musical craft, Low Ground is a five-person bluegrass ensemble from South Florida. They’ve become regulars on the folk music circuit, playing festivals all over the state.
The name “Low Ground” was coined when the band was formed in June of 2020. In contrast to other bluegrass band names (which usually highlight the mountains, ridges, and hollers of the genre’s birthplace), “Low Ground” is a nod to the Sunshine State, where musicians usually play at (or below) sea level.
Native Floridian playing “sunburnt folk-rock.”
You know those beach days? Those lazy, "sleep for too long on the sand" days? "Slow dips in the salty waves once you’re burnt" days? You know the kind.
Brett Staska makes music for those days. (And all the other types of beach days, too, really.)
Born and raised on the banks of the Loxahatchee, Brett Staska is a singer-songwriter who performs at music festivals, beach bars, and breweries throughout the Sunshine State.

Singer-songwriter duo playing Central Florida and beyond.
Eshtemoh “Esh” Morgan and Chris “Schief” Schiefelbein grew up in vastly different parts of the United States.

Orlando-based alternative jazz group.
Playing out of Central Florida, JK & the Contraband is a four-piece jazz fusion ensemble that frequents intimate and formal venues throughout Florida.
Most set lists from JK & the Contraband center around the band’s original songs, which bear names like “Three Day Weekend” and “Interloper.” One might describe these pieces as atmospheric, even riveting as they bop, meander, and groove through the airways.
