Jaggery / BOOMscat / Bassapella

Jaggery found its footing in New York, writing and performing under different monikers until 2004 when the band began to take its current shape: singer/songstress/pianist Singer Mali is flanked by a rotating lineup of musicians and instrumentation, including Daniel Schubmehls West African and jazz approach to the drum kit, Tony Levas often prepared upright bass, Rachel Jayson's avant-classical viola, and Petaluma Vales glistening Celtic harp and backing vocals.

The Washington, DC based Peace & Body Roll Duo BOOMscat consists of multi-instrumentalist/producer, Asha Santee (BOOM), and vocalist/songwriter Jennifer Patience Rowe (scat). Together, they create a sound that ignites vulnerability, elevation and self-reflection. Since their conception in the fall of 2012, BOOMscat has released 3 projects, toured venues across the country, and has mesmerized crowds large and small. Drawing comparisons to Floetry and Erykah Badu, they have garnered support from soul music veterans Kindred & The Family Soul and gospel music legend Richard Smallwood.
