Angie Head (A.J.) is a singer/songwriter/musician originally from Detroit, MI. A skillful guitarist with a strong, sweet, soul-stirring voice, A.J. has gained the attention and praise of those who admire inspiring talent. A graduate of the University of Michigan with a degree in Ethnomusicology (the study of culture through the context of music), A.J. frequently performs at venues up and down the East Coast. Follow Angie Head on FB and on Twitter @Str8ahead

Be Steadwell is a songwriter and filmmaker from Washington DC. Redefining the love song in a modern context, Be describes her music as "queer pop and soul". In her live performances, she utilizes vocal layering, elaborate harmonies, and beat boxing to compose her songs on stage. 

The Pinstriped Rebel spins an eclectic and fun mix of music, maintaining the highest quality control across a freeform blend of soul, funk, disco, and old school hip-hop, even throwing in some 80s freestyle. 

Live! from Busboys typically takes place on the first Friday of every month and offers a platform for ALL PERFORMERS - not just poets! Whether you are a musician, comedian, dancer, actor/actress, magician, or any other type of performer - we want to see what you've got. Come showcase your talent!
