As you may (or may not) know last night was the FIRST Archer Avenue Studio showcase.  Four extremely talented bands were kind enough to join forces for this power house show.  Not only that but three of these bands were releasing records recently recorded at right here at Archer Ave. 

To start the night off right Emily McCollum and Cayla Fralick performed together and totally captivated the audience.  Both of the girls are great songwriters and excellent performers.  

Immediately following them Rejectioneers took the stage.  This band has been Ben Walker's brainchild for many years and has finally come together to record an EP and begin playing shows.  Ben has been an integral part of the columbia music scene for well over a decade and he hasn't lost a thing!  Their set was full of well crafted songs driven by  undeniable emotion.  It's good to see Ben on stage again!

Foley was the next band to take the stage.  These guys have been making  music in Columbia for a few years now and continue to churn out great songs with well thought out parts and melodies.  Jay Hendricks fronts this rock band and sells the whole show through his passionate performance.  Each of these guys performed perfectly and the set seemed flawless and powerful.

The Sea Wolf Mutiny closed the night out and we couldn't have asked for a better end for an incredible night.  These guys are quickly emerging as one of the most talked about bands in the columbia music scene.  Bobby Hatfield is at the helm of this band and it's almost impossible to take one's eyes off him as he blazes through their set with unabated energy and excitement.  

If you missed the show last night please check out each of these great bands!  Here's a few pictures from last night (pics provided by Steve Von Fange):
