The Back Alley & Easy Honey

THE BACK ALLEY
The Back Alley will make you jam out. The high-powered Chicago indie rock quintet is made up of lead singer Ralph Porter, who joined forces with guitarist Jaden Cone, drummer Ben Kremer and Ax and the Hatchetmen members Sal Defilippis and Hunter Olshefke in 2022. A quickly rising name in the Midwest indie scene, The Back Alley has earned national recognition through singles “Grey Skies” and “Brand New,” both released in 2024. With striking riffs and catchy vocals, the group has given audiences something to dance about. Their tours and discography are growing, meaning only one thing – the best is yet to come.

EASY HONEY
Easy Honey is a Charleston, SC based indie rock band that infuses its singer-songwriter folk roots with an original mix of nostalgic East Coast surf-rock. Like so many of their mutual rock heroes, Easy Honey cut their teeth on the road and have built a devoted following of daydreamers and night seekers through extensive touring and sold-out gigs. 

Just like their live shows, which have taken them to audiences nationwide, their influences remain all over the map and pull from the classic rock and power-pop staples of their parents’ record collections (Big Star, Neil Young), up through '90s alt heroes Blind Melon as well as indie tunesmiths like Dr. Dog.No matter if they’re harmonizing next to a beach bonfire or exploring the rhythmic twists of a funky riff on stage, their music inevitably pulls you closer with an open-armed, all-are-welcome spirit.
