Saving Escape with Touch Down Jesus, Emerson Bruno

Saving Escape: Funky. Classy. Sexy. Rock & Roll. Fronted by female powerhouse, Kala Rose, Saving Escape blends vintage rhythm with a voice of grit and soul that will punch you in the face. From humble beginnings as a blues rock band, Saving Escape has managed to create a melting pot of their favorite genres to create a sound entirely unique yet timeless. Something you’re not embarrassed to play in the car in front of your dad who won’t shut up about where “real music” went. Something you can show your pretentious friend who recites Pitchfork reviews whenever an artist gets mentioned. Something you can leave on at a party for both the people dancing in your living room and the couple making out in the bathroom. Saving escape makes music for people who love music.

Touch Down Jesus: Described as a “you listen and figure it out for yourself” band, Touchdown Jesus is a strong blend of Progressive Rock, Post-Punk, and Jazz Fusion. A relatively new band, known for their blistering, feverous live shows, Touchdown Jesus has already become a highly sought after live act across Ohio and beyond. Having supported several acclaimed national acts (Twen, Ed Schrader's Music Beat, Ghost Funk Orchestra) Touchdown Jesus maintains a regular touring schedule and has appeared on acclaimed festival lineups such as Ohio Is For Lovers and New Colossus Festival (NYC). Touchdown Jesus released their 2nd EP "It's All Feast Or Famine" on April 4th, 2025, to glowing reviews from the likes of Paste Magazine, and The Needle Drop. “Just absolutely killer stuff…definitely going to be one of my favorite EP’s of the year.” - Anthony Fantano

Emerson Bruno: As a lyricist and melodic writer, Emerson Bruno evokes a sentimental and familiar quality. Drawing inspiration from the music of the 60s, many elements of the Laurel Canyon recipe are captured and presented with a modern twist. Compelling lyrics of the universal human condition create a sense of understanding that is packed into unique arrangements. Accompanied by a cast of gifted musicians, the music of Emerson Bruno has reached a full form and is equipped to bring the muscle to the stage.
