Bio:
Aaron Rizzo is a songwriter, producer and performing artist from Rochester, NY. By early adolescence, an obsession with picking apart songs manifested itself into a slew of original projects. Rizzo rotated through genres and instruments quickly, eventually leading to proficiency as a session player and multi-instrumentalist in his early 20s.
By way of producing, engineering and gigging, Rizzo has established himself as not only a compelling solo artist, but a versatile side man. To date, Aaron has independently released four full-length solo albums titled Blck Tee Shrt (2017), Mirror Talk Blue (2021), Anchor (2023) and NONSTOP DEATHMATCH (2025) and has recorded/collaborated on dozens of songs by other artists. His original music has been featured on the hit television shows Shameless, Black-ish and a T-Mobile ad. Aaron also won the award for best score at the Sick N’ Wrong film festival for his original score in the film Optic Nerve.
Much of Rizzo’s influence comes not from guitar players, but drummers. As a rhythm based player, he has drawn inspiration from the likes of Steve Jordan, Nate Smith, Carter Mclean and many others. This has afforded him a distinct perspective on his primary instrument – guitar. Historically, Aaron Rizzo has covered a fair amount of ground in his recorded music. Especially as a producer, an obsession with exploring new sounds has always been a cornerstone of his music.
In 2025, Aaron Rizzo made his national television debut with the cast of the 27th season of NBC’s “The Voice,” where he worked with Canadian singer Michael Bublé.

Bio:
"Desmond Myers is an Atlanta-based singer-songwriter and producer. His music is bolstered by a smooth understated tenor voice, groove-fueled arrangements with earnest lyrics. Whether behind a guitar or a synthesizer, his music is full of clever restraint and moodiness.
Desmond is a North Carolina native but spent his formative years performing and writing in Paris, France and the musical imprint of the French capital hasn’t left his musical DNA since. Inspired by the independent nu-funk disco scene of Parcels, L’impertatrice, Daft Punk and Justice, his music fuses the groove and textures of French funk with the songwriting chops he learned at The Evening Muse as a teenager. In Paris he was a touring member of the band Her and has collaborated with Hotel Costes creator Stephane Pompugnac, Maë Defays, Billet Doux, Superjava and more.
Desmond released his debut album “Shadowdancer” in late 2021 on the French label LVCO Production and it’s lead single “Playing with Fire” received over 4 million plays on streaming platforms, in 2024 he followed up with the EP “How to Break a Heart,” including the singles “Intuition” and “One Call Away,” and the 2025 EP “Five Days of Summer!!"
In 2026 he will release a series of double singles featuring a more dance-centric pulse. The first single “Balloon / Safe Harbor” drops in February."

Born in Buffalo and built on grit, Letter to Elise delivers Rust Belt Rock ’n’ Roll that lives between heartbreak and hope. The band blends 80s-inspired alt-pop shimmer with raw, modern energy, driving guitars, soaring synths, and lyrics that hit where nostalgia meets neon.
Fresh off NBC’s The Voice (Team Reba), the group brought their harmony-driven sound and unapologetic Buffalo spirit to the national stage. Reba McEntire praised them, saying, “Not only were they singing, they were performing… I’m thrilled to death to have Letter to Elise on #TeamReba!”
Their debut record, Risen From Rust, captures that same energy, the sound of a city that never stops singing. With songs like Day Drinking and Quiet Crush, Letter to Elise is proving that Buffalo’s blue-collar heart still beats loud in modern rock.
