Blake Ruby

Nashville indie pop artist Blake Ruby blends pop melodies, jazz influence, and honest, introspective lyrics to soothe the soul. Relying on self-production, frequent collaboration, and a raw, intimate live show, Ruby is developing an encouraging, creative community and a unique sound from the heart. Ruby grew up singing in the church choir in his hometown of Westminster, Maryland and made his way to Nashville where he attended Belmont University. The prolific songwriter signed with Black River Publishing in 2020.

MLLN

MLLN is a R&B vocalist and producer who specializes in thicc jazz harmony and intricate vocals. Raised in Maryland, he grew up falling asleep to his mom and dad performing Hindustani Indian classical music on stage. The simple, but beautiful, melodies inspired him to find a balance between singable, pop melodies and interesting Neosoul grooves.

MLLN recently toured the east coast with Lawrence the Band, getting to spread his music to over 6000 people in a live music setting. He recently has been shown major support by popular artists Kenny Beats, Lawrence the Band, Anomalie, Brasstracks, and Moonchild.  He pulls inspiration from artists like Jacob Collier, D’angelo, Tom Misch, Anderson .Paak, Stephen Day, Allen Stone, and many more creative legends. I’m sure you will hear these influences in his current and future work! More to come soon :)

MAIN STAGE: 4:00-4:30

Searing guitar solos, ever-grooving drum and bass lines, and unique vocal harmonies have pushed The Luvable Idiots into the spotlight at the 8x10 and the Recher Theater. Whether they’re putting their spin on classics or showcasing original songs, The group gets people on their feet and singing along.
