SonnyBoy, l ed by Shel Riser, is inspired by a diverse range of musical styles, stemming from Riser's early exposure to jazz, gospel, funk, and "going through the radio dial and listening to everything I could." The quartet's high-energy shows and unique musical style have gotten attention around the country and the world. Rolling Stone dubbed them one of the best groups to come out of Minneapolis, and SonnyBoy's music reveals a true understanding of how to create great entertainment. According to Riser,
"If I can get your head nodding and coming back for more, then I've done my job. It all boils down to one question: Is it good music?"

EMEFE has been named one of the best live bands in New York - show up ready to dance! This group aims to play music that frees everybody in the audience & everybody listening at home (hence the band's motto, Music Frees All). Inspired by Fela Kuti's use of music to confront Nigerian authorities, EMEFE has put its own spin on Afrobeat music mixed with funk, jazz, rock and hip-hop influences. The 10-piece group has been praised for "employing the chaos and rawness of emotion as well as the design of pop sensibility."
