Lena Traynham is a second- generation DC area musician whose eclectic original music and infectious stage presence make her a standout in the local music scene. This indie-pop-twang-rock concoction draws from a lifetime of influences creating something undeniably unique. Her long awaited debut project dropped last year with her first single, "Brick by Brick" — having just celebrated the release of her debut EP, "twenty somethin'" early this summer! Her first ever music video for her latest single “Break Down Easy” is set to release November 2025!

Shelley Star & The Galaxy are making cosmic waves in Washington, DC, bringing out-of-this-world lyrics, vibrant pop-rock melodies, and theatrical flair to the Nation’s capital. The enigmatic Shelley Star powerfully belts and stomps the stage in platform space boots while high-octane musicians “The Galaxy” shred by her side. The band takes musical inspiration from icons such as Lady Gaga, ABBA, and The Killers, and their style comes from deep roots in the art of drag. Since their inception in 2022, the band has released two award-winning full-length albums “Shelley Star and The Galaxy” and “Crystal Beach”. They received two WAMMIE award nominations for their songs “Battery Baby” and “Lucky” in 2023, and in 2024 “Glass House” received high honors in the Mid-Atlantic Songwriting Competition (MASC). Their live shows are unforgettable, bringing out-of-this-world music, dance, and glamour to planet earth.
