CAT RIDGEWAY & THE TOURISTS
Spotify | Facebook | Instagram

You can’t help but be excited when talking about Orlando singer songwriter Cat Ridgeway.  Her infectious energy and contagious enthusiasm in everything she creates is electric, while her passion and commitment to her music radiate through her fiery blend of indie-rock and punk with hints of dream pop and folk.  A skilled lyricist and melodist, Ridgeway is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist who can play guitar, harmonica, trumpet, trombone, drums, piano, mandolin, and bass - sometimes playing three instruments at once!  Ridgeway, along with the revolving members of her touring band, The Tourists, create a sweaty, energetic, exciting party with each live show. It’s not uncommon to see them play musical chairs as they switch places and instruments on stage. Expect the unexpected. With Sprinter, Ridgeway’s upcoming 2025 album release, she draws the listener in as she strives to understand life’s trials and emerge with a better sense of perspective and self. Ridgeway, along with Mike Savino (Kishi Bashi, Tall Tall Trees), played multiple instruments on the album. Mastered by Joe LaPorta (David Bowie, Foo Fighters) and mixed by Dan Molad of Lucius and Coco (JD McPherson, Here We Go Magic), Sprinter features all-star players including Claude Coleman, Jr. (Ween) and Josiah Wolf (WHY?) on drums, and Adam Schatz (Sylvan Esso, Japanese Breakfast) on sax, among others.  Her first single “Epilogue,” is a stomp and holler-esque punk rock explosion hinging off a recklessly played, overdriven banjo.  Named Orlando’s “Best Singer-Songwriter” three years running and “Best Rock Act” twice by Orlando Weekly, Ridgeway has played many notable stages and festivals (30A Songwriters Festival, Okeechobee Music and Arts Fest, and House of Blues Orlando), supporting and sharing bills with acts like Lucy Dacus, Sylvan Esso, Houndmouth, and Arcade Fire, among others. With Sprinter, Ridgeway is poised to catapult herself onto the national stage.

GLITZY
Spotify | Instagram
Born out of Craigslist ads, Reddit posts, and a cubicle farm friendship, Glitzy was formed with influences as eclectic as their members. The five-piece band started jamming in a cramped 8 foot by 10 foot closet in the heart of Milwaukee’s Riverwest during the summer of 2022 and hasn’t stopped making music since. Their sound (consisting of two guitars, drums, bass, and synth) is an amalgamation of their influences, resulting in a shoegaze-y, midwest emo-like, new-wave type of melodic indie rock.
