With a voice like cinnamon and a pen like butter, Roberta Lea is a rising artist, ready to give the world a taste of what she's made of. Fellow artists have called her Hampton Roads’ best kept secret. It's as though she's a family recipe, kept hidden until now. ​ Fellow musicians have described her sound as "country-neo-pop". As a millennial, it's often quite difficult to pin her down to one particular genre. Her influences range from 80s RnB legends like Roberta Flack, Anita Baker and Sade, to pop 90s girl-power players like Alanis Morissette, Sheryl Crow, Shania Twain and everything in between.

"One of my biggest references as an artist right now is Tina Turner" Lea says. "Although she's always been a dominating presence in pop-culture as the the Queen of Rock n' Roll, recently I've rediscovered her through the lens of country music." Lea finds comfort in Tina's raspy vocals as she explores the uniqueness of her own voice. She's been described vocally as a Tina Turner/Macy Gray grit, lyrically clever like George Strait, incorporates some Pop-fun like Shania Twain and at times delivers her slower, more sentimental material like Norah Jones. ​

As a Virginian, Roberta Lea follows a long list of iconic artists and hitmakers. From classics like Ella Fitzgerald and Patsy Cline, to icons like Pharrel, Timberland, and Missy Elliot, legends like The Dave Matthews Band and Pat Benatar, to modern day rising stars like Old Dominion and Morgan Wade. As a songwriter and an artist, she’s in great company and confident that she's next.

Supporting Roberta is Juliet Lloyd.  On her new album, Carnival, folk-pop singer-songwriter Juliet showcases her signature “evocative storytelling and raw honesty,” honed over more than two decades. Raised in a small town outside of Rochester, New York, Lloyd was a classically trained pianist and jazz trumpet player from an early age before studying songwriting at Berklee College of Music in the mid-2000s. It wasn’t long before she was a fixture in the Boston singer-songwriter scene, releasing two critically acclaimed albums, touring up and down the east coast, and garnering sync placements on MTV and VH1. Struggling with burnout, Juliet walked away from music completely in 2009 and got a lucrative corporate job. Fast forward ten years, and in the midst of a global pandemic, she returned to songwriting and performing. After winning a string of regional and national songwriting awards and releasing her 2022 EP High Road—hailed as a “top-tier singer/songwriter album”—Juliet returned to music full force. Since then, she has performed 150+ shows a year, both solo and with her band, at top songwriter and regional festivals and a growing number of listening rooms across the country. Carnival will be released on October 25th.
