Bio: Antar Goodwin, a Philadelphia-based roots and blues artist, blends the grit of classic blues with the soul of Americana in his music. Before gaining recognition with his band, Antar Goodwin & The Faithful Sinners, he spent 15 years as a bassist in New York City’s vibrant music scene. During this time, he served as a musical director, co-writer, performed , and/or recorded with several national touring artists, including Sting, Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, Bruce Katz, Sean Chambers, Ruth Brown, Benny Golson, and co-wrote the album “On My Way,” which reached the Billboard top 10 twice and was featured on Blues Rock Review’s list of the Top 20 Albums of 2022. His raw honesty and emotional depth create a powerful invitation for listeners. With a deep well of storytelling and masterful guitar work, Antar takes audiences on a journey of truth and transformation through his timeless sound.

 

Bio: Sug Daniels is a Delaware born, Philadelphia based, ukulele player, singer-songwriter, story teller, and producer who is using the tools around her to capture the emotions of an era. Daniels’ work is as colorful, vulnerable, and charismatic as her personality. She thoughtfully combines elements of folk, rock, and soul alternatives to create personal and tender music interlaced with messages of truth and positive change. 

 

Bio: Melvin C. McKnight, aka BlaqMel, is a New Brunswick, NJ-born singer and musician whose soulful sound and magnetic stage presence have earned him opportunities to work with legends like Will Downing, John Legend, and Parliament-Funkadelic, just to name a few. Currently, BlaqMel is putting the finishing touches on his upcoming EP, set for release in early fall, featuring original music that reflects his roots in soul, funk, and R&B. You’ll get a taste of what’s to come tonight, along with his signature interpretations of classic tracks that span generations.

 

Bio:  Lars Scott is a musician from Philadelphia. Lars began their musical journey in high school, performing folk songs at local open mics and coffee shops. After graduating from Temple University, they released their first single,The Sand Song, in 2017. Spending time amongst singers and songwriters in Philly’s rich music scene pushed Lars to develop their sound, as they moved away from straightforward, folkier tunes and incorporated vocal loops and beats into their songs.
