JOEL LANDY
Joel Landy has been an activist his entire adult life, organizing and promoting events for social justice and environmental issues. From corporate media and class warfare to climate chaos and the NRA, Joel delivers intelligent songs with wit and humor in a style that reminds many of a young Phil Ochs. His music has been published in “Sing Out!” magazine and heard on Pacifica Radio stations. He also produces the award-winning television program, “Songs of Freedom.”

BEV GRANT
Inspired by the socially conscious songs of the 1960s, Bev Grant uses music as a means to express her position on longstanding social dynamics and societal issues. Her songs tackle themes of social justice, feminism, and workers' rights, reflecting her commitment to using her art as a tool for change. As Bev's career gained momentum in NYC, other likeminded artists who also sang of the triumphs and struggles of everyday people joined with Bev. These music groups include The Human Condition, Bev Grant and the Dissident Daughters, The Miller Sisters, Wool&Grant, and most notably, the Brooklyn Women's Chorus. Her inspirational work has earned her the 2017 ASCAP Foundation's Jay Gorney award and the Labor Heritage Foundation's Joe Hill award.

THE REPRESSIONS
The Repressions are a theatrical NYC indie rock duo featuring Barbara Dragon and Nate Lay. Their songs jump genres with tongue-twisting literary lyrics, guitars, synth, and two powerful voices full of melodic harmony. The Repressions' songs have folk punk activist messages mixed with fairy tale dreams. Their style has been described as "forest-music," "ethereal indie rock" (“BORO Magazine,” March 2018) and "music to feel your feelings to." The Repressions celebrated their 11th Anniversary in 2026, having played over 500 shows in the United States, and released an album and sixteen singles. They play lively shows every month all over New York City, and livestream twice a week on Twitch, incorporating prizes, colorful costumes, and original artwork into their performance. The Repressions dedicate their music to anyone who has ever been ridiculed for being sensitive, kind, smart, or ill.
