The Holdup is the musical project of Michael Garmany. Coming from San Jose, CA, he has built a cult following writing and producing his own brand of groovy, melody driven, pop music, borrowing influences from R&B, reggae, and hip-hop. Often mistaken for a group, The Holdup has been a one-man labor in the studio, with Garmany writing, producing, performing and engineering everything you hear on his albums. His catchy hooks and unapologetic lyrics have helped him sell out mainstay venues, such as The Roxy & El Rey Theatre, across the U.S. as well as clock in over 150+ million worldwide streams and counting…
Cydeways
Cydeways is an Alternative band out of Santa Barbara, CA. Fronted by Dustin Parks, Cydeways also features Casey Kernohan, Kevin Harvey, Trevor Buckingham (producer/engineer) & Dana Shoults (co-producer). The group initially formed in Boston,
MA. before Parks moved the project out west to California.
The group eventually caught the attention of Law Records and in speaking with Law’s Yesod Williams, he shares how Cydeways wound up on his radar, telling The Pier: “I was podcasting Joe D. from Iration and he mentioned Cydeways to me. He’s friends with Dustin. After a little time, Hawaiian time that is, I finally reached out to Dustin. He sent me a track he had coincidentally done featuring another mutual friend in the Rhymesayers artists, Grieves, serendipity? I’d say so!”
Dylan Reese
Born in Massachusetts, Dylan Reese makes music that feels like real life — smooth, honest, and a little dangerous when it needs to be. Since releasing his first projects in the early 2010s, Reese has evolved from self-produced mixtapes and acoustic sessions to a fully realized sound that’s both nostalgic and forward-thinking. His catalog spans heartfelt R&B, confident rap verses, and melodic pop hybrids — all tied together by his signature tone and cinematic storytelling.
Over the years, Reese has collaborated with artists like Musiq Soulchild, Paul Wall, Twista, Rexx Life Raj, PHABO, amongst many others. He’s also shared stages across the country on multiple independent tours, performing alongside a wide range of acts that reflect his versatility.
His new album, titled JIGSAW was released on December 12th, 2025 – followed by headlining shows in 2026. Built mostly on hustle and heart, Dylan Reese continues to carve his lane in modern R&B — one piece at a time.
