Velocity Girl
Formed in 1989 in College Park, Maryland, they were an American indie rock band active in the Washington, D.C., area. The band released three albums before splitting up in 1996. Their debut album “Copacetic” has been remixed and is part of a flurry of activity for Velocity Girl. At the time of its release in 1993, “Copacetic” was a resounding popular success. It became Sub Pop’s second-best-selling album, trailing only the debut of a band called Nirvana. The record’s style — indebted to the smeary, dreamy British sound that had recently been dubbed “shoegaze” — significantly tempered Sub Pop’s reputation as a purveyor of grunge only.

Letitia Vansant
Letitia is native of Towson who is actively involved in making her community a better place to live. We first heard her on the local indie station WTMD and agree with Paste Magazine, that she is one of 10 Country Artists to Watch in 2020
Letitia VanSant’s lyrics are as personal as they are political, tracing questions of power into the human heart. With sparse indie folk arrangements fortifying a distinctly intimate vocal style, her stage presence is down-to-earth and immediate.
VanSant’s debut album Gut It to the Studs established her as an emerging talent on the Americana scene and propelled her on her first UK/European tour. Its follow-up Circadian was released February 21, 2020. -

Bridging the gap between alternative-rock and metal since 2016 they are based near Annapolis, Maryland.
