As we could have expected, ARREIS walked into The East Room on Wednesday night and put on a show that put the EP in EPIC!
The Chicagoland native — set to release her new EP, Angel, at the end of this week — delivered a high energy performance that was equal parts dynamic and vulnerable. The 45-minute set featured a bevy of high-powered anthems, like the arena-ready rocker “Five More Minutes,” to softer moments of empowerment and inspiration. Recent singles “Aurora” and “To My Younger Self” uplift the listener, offering respite to the inner child who struggled to embrace themself and live life fully, without the need for permission.
Supporting ARREIS on this special evening were REHAAN, whose prowess as an alt-pop vocalist is complemented by his immense skill as a saxophonist, creating a live experience quite unlike anything else in Nashville. Limestone Loveseat was a delight to listen to, with a folk sensibility craftily weaved into their energetic rock offerings. Mandy Moon opened the evening, starting us off with a potent dose of soul, complete with a rich tonality that contributed to a warmth in sound and spirit.
Oh, and the best part of all? We made some headway toward funding the UMC Creator Lab on Indiegogo. We are now just about 40% funded with three weeks to go!

Our Live from the 615 Summer Send-off will take place at The East Room (2412 Gallatin Ave., Nashville) on Monday, September 6. There, you will hear a STACKED, all-female lineup of Nashville pop artists, including Ele Ivory, Maggie Miles, and Abigail Osborn!
Ele Ivory is a Nashville based indie-pop artist who received BMI’s John Lennon Award for her song “LaZboys”. She was also featured on Season 15 of NBC’s THE VOICE as a Comeback Artist with Coach Kelsea Ballerini. Ele’s love for words and the craft of songwriting keeps her searching for fresh ways to express universal feelings. Her music honestly explores the human condition within the soundscape of piano driven organic indie-pop.
Maggie Miles is an alternative pop artist currently creating in Nashville, TN. Having just released her debut album, Am I Drowning or Am I Just Learning How to Swim, in August of 2020, Miles is eager to share the songs with ears everywhere. Her songwriting attempts to reach into the depths of the human condition and paint it with a brush anyone can recognize. Remaining relatable, while obviously grabbing from her personal encounters with life and the challenges it delivers.
By combining honest storytelling with dreamy pop melodies, Abigail Osborn creates the perfect coming of age soundtrack. With influences stemming from artists like The Japanese House and Sasha Sloan, she leaves you with melodic indie-pop that is sure to stay stuck in your head.
We have plenty of Live from the 615 fun to come between now and the end of summer — including some to be announced.
If we may, though, we want to let you know how we’ll be ending summer with a bang on Labor Day!
