Hailing from the angst-ridden coffee shops of Central Jersey- David Diange combines his homegrown brand of catchy vocals with imaginative takes on evergreen themes. An ode to his musical roots, his current project SEDATEPHOBIA draws as much from coffeehouse music as it does from 90s and 00s punk and current pop and rock. His songs exploring relationships, working culture, and mental health, spurred by the political and social hardships that affect the collective conscience, are timelessly relatable. Now based out of Jersey City Heights, David has been performing in the area since just 2023, but his schedule is filling up fast. Look for him at open mics, and as a featured performer and collaborator throughout Hudson County in 2024.

Marty I’m Afraid is an indie power-pop band based in Bayonne, consisting of vocalists Julia Haviland (bass), Harry Horowitz (drums), and Melanie Ruiz (guitar). Marty’s upcoming debut release,  “Avenue C: Sides A and B”, is a collection of songs documenting death, breakups, friends moving, mental health, and the cats the Marties co-parent. As the Marties are multi-instrumentalists, you can expect to hear flute, trumpet, ukuleles, synths, and even some kazoos in a typical Marty set.
