About the Bands
The Midnight Purchase is a five-piece soul/folk/Americana band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Since the release of their first music offering, the band garnered much acclaim and some nominations in Milwaukee, including 2023 “New Artist of the Year” by the Wisconsin Area Music Industry and a win for “Folk Band of the Year” by The Shepherd Express’s Best of Milwaukee Awards.
Natural Satellite is a crossover jazz duo from Menasha, Wisconsin. The WAMI-nominated duo layers finger-style cello with catchy melodies, harmonies, and improvised saxophone. Their lyrics focus on self-love, reflection, and growth, leaving listeners feeling uplifted.
The Noah Nelson Band is an ever-changing lineup of musicians from the Sheboygan area. Initially a hip-hop solo artist, Nelson has recently expanded his musical focus to include a nine-piece band featuring horns, synths, keytar, and more.
Hanna Simone is a 25-year-old independent blues/soul singer/songwriter based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Her blues vocals blend with the high-energy rock edge provided by the musicianship and creativity of her five-piece band. Hanna often performs with her musical director and guitarist Elly Bird as a duo.
