Ryan Cassata
Ryan Cassata (he/him), signed to Kill Rock Stars, is an award-winning singer-songwriter, actor, performer, published writer, LGBTQ+ activist, and transgender motivational speaker. His work has been featured on/in GRAMMY.com, Rolling Stone, Billboard, The New York Times, Buzzfeed, AltPress, American Songwriter, and The NY Daily News.
Dax Jordan
The only child of a Valley Girl and a Midwestern jazz drummer, Dax has cornered that unique Beatnik/Mallrat/Trekkie demographic. Raised on the fruits of the 80’s standup explosion, his early exposure to everything from Stan Freberg to Paula Poundstone have ingrained in him a wide variety of styles and perspectives. An ability to tailor the act to crowds from Catholic High School grad parties to lumberjack bars in rural Idaho to hipsters in downtown Seattle has allowed him to take advantage of every opportunity to come his way, including writing jokes for Senator Ron Wyden (D-Or). He has also appeared in several films and television programs seen internationally.
“Not just great…Brilliant.”

Greg Gilman
Based in Los Angeles, the 5-piece indie band fronted by singer-songwriter Greg Gilman is leading an explosion of timely Americana out of Southern California.
“The songs are written for you to think, reflect and question. And that, is a very good thing,” OnStage Magazine wrote after listening to GIGC’s debut LP, American Way, a 2018 record Impose Magazine described as, “a stirring, heartfelt experience.”
Cinematic melodies paired with heartfelt lyrics and irresistible harmonies have become hallmarks of the band’s unique sound — a mix of alternative rock, folk, country, pop and soul — topped off by Greg’s dynamic and raspy vocals, drawing comparisons to Bruce Springsteen, The Lumineers, and Mumford & Sons. “Some people give you a piece of themselves when they sing and Gilman is that kind of vocalist,” IndieMinded wrote in 2018 while praising fan-favorite track, Carrie’s Song, which the music magazine described as “a soulful, blues revival track with a gospel tinge that absorbs you.”
D’Emmanuel
D’Emmanuel is a comedian, actor, and writer who started in the Pacific Northwest before moving to Los Angeles. Aside from seeing him perform in venues like The Improv and The Icehouse, you may also have seen him on shows like NBC’s Grimm and playing Wiggins on ABC’s Station 19.
