The Carryons
are a Mediterranean Folk Jazz trio based in Philadelphia, PA. They play original music that bears the influence of their Greek, Turkish, and American upbringing and blends the sounds, rhythms, and harmonies of east and west. While only a few years old as a band, members Ozzie, Timothy, and Christian have played for many years in a variety of musical styles and contexts in the US and Europe. Their goal with this group is to continue creating and playing their own blend of world music for people that enjoy something slightly east of normal.

Three Strands i
s a folk/Americana project that was started by
Lancaster, PA, based singer/songwriter, Sean Cox, in the winter of 2016.

After a five year period fronting the Philadelphia, PA, based folk/rock quintet, The Band of Rivals, Sean began working on a small collection of the more narrative, delicate songs that would bring Three Strands to fruition. Through honest and simplistic arrangements and strong influences from the American folk revival, as well as, early gospel and blues traditions, Three Strands exists to search for the things that unite us all..
