UPCOMING SCARLETT SESSIONS
Emily Elbert
Emily Elbert weaves together a soul-folk blend of introspection and celebration. Imbuing organic sounds with progressive perspective, Emily’s songs reflect a heart attuned to observation and inquiry. She has independently released four albums of original music, and several singles, including 2017's protest-rocker "True Power." Anchored by what L.A. Weekly calls a “funky, engrossing groove" with "sly words in artful arrangements,” the publication notes, "Elbert would be considered remarkable just for her guitar playing, which segues from hard-edged funk and blues to more gently subtle jazz intricacy. But she’s an equally adept vocalist, weaving her soulful phrasing nimbly within the rhythms of her guitar chords.”

PAST SCARLETT SESSIONS
Pompous
Based out of Redondo Beach, Pompous is a unique melting pot of musical genres and styles. You can find sounds of the classically trained jazz trombone, to the rockabilly slap of the upright bass.

Raquel Rodriguez
Raquel Rodriguez is a woman who believes in the magic of music. Her presence is warm, powerful and inspiring, like her sound. Raquel draws inspiration from Prince, Chaka Khan, Stevie Wonder, Amy Winehouse and Bruno Mars, to create a smooth balance of 70s funk, 80s synths and 90s R&B. Raquel is the true embodiment of the multi-cultural millennial, fusing the subcultures of the last 20 years of LA style with her nostalgic, yet current, brand of music.

Copperline
Copperline is Zacc West and Lisa Ritchie. They began writing together in 2016, after West saw Ritchie perform at a venue in Hermosa Beach, CA. This indie/pop/folk duo conjures an organic, harmony-based performance with honest lyrics — imagine if Civil Wars had a love child with Of Monsters and Men. They’re currently working to release their debut album, Spring 2018.

Alfa
Singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Alfa approaches her lucid pop songs like a fact-finding mission, mining truth and genuineness in lyrical stories. Never one to shy from a catchy melody, Alfa’s music leans into melodies drawn from a rich history: folk songs from the Philippine countryside, classical music from her upbringing in New Jersey, and the stylings of recent artists like Regina Spektor and Brandi Carlile. Music Connection has called Alfa “an artist who has a spectrum of colors in her palette, a songwriter with a knack for tickling a mainstream ear.”
