Singer-songwriter Miranda Rae (@Itsmirandarae ,) who is on a journey to redefine the sound of neo-soul and R&B to fit her style, headlined music festival at the end of June at WBUR CitySpace. Her rich and adventurous vocal range led to a Boston Music Award for R&B Artist of the Year in 2020 and later drew the attention of producers at Boston Calling where she performed in 2022. The artistic growth of Rae, who started singing publicly by chance at an artist showcase night in Florida, is palpable in recent songs including the trap-driven “BLUYELLO” (2020) featuring Dutch ReBelle, the soulful “Mama Says” (2021) and the bouncy and infectious ”Moonlight” (2021).

Joining Rae for the show are singer-songwriter Chris Walton (@chriswalton7193 ) who blends classic soul, jazz and funk with a modern aesthetic and CLUB INDGO (@CLUBINDGO,) the seven member group comprised of Boston rap collective Ill Addicts and Rhode Island songstress Sança.
