A motley collection of reformed band geeks, we're all about lyrically driven progressive folk rock, toast, and fitting on to tiny stages. There will be horns.

Energy, emotion, and relatability quickly became the focus of Red Arlington’s music as he partied his way through college (while maintaining his grades, of course). There was no sense in creating music for others if he didn’t believe it or live it himself. Never taking himself too seriously, Red wants his music to reflect a lighthearted and comical nature similar to that of the environment he lives in. His music encompasses the college experience and what it is to live in our world as a young adult. The catchy hooks and relatable verses can be sung in unison at your next party or provide the background music to the events that are unraveling in front of your beer goggles.

Cake Street is made up of Anna (Band Manager), and college a cappella friends Emma, Chloe and Danielle (vocals, guitar, and percussion). We mostly cover popular folk music with lots of cool vocal harmonies.
Cake Street was formed when Emma's forever-roommate Abbey accidentally combined the expressions 'easy street' and 'piece of cake', and everyone was like, damn, we should form a band and call it THAT.

The People’s Party, a band hailing from Boston, MA, is an eclectic mix of rock, funk, hip hop, jazz, and everything in between, dedicated to spreading love and unity in the celebration of life. The original sound borrows from a wide variety of genres. With rich vocal harmonies reminiscent of Motown and The Beatles, a thick, groove-filled rhythm section that can move from hip hop to acid jazz to rock with ease, infectious songwriting and lyricism, which varies from Paul Simon-esque to a Tribe Called Quest and beyond, a horn section along the order of Tower of Power and The Meters, and jams similar to Phish and The Grateful Dead, the music takes the audience on a wild musical ride.
