5PM to Nowhere is an alt-pop project formed in 2020 by Milwaukee singer-songwriter Jacob Webb. Evoking the emotional balladry of Coldplay and the thematic songwriting of Sufjan Stevens, he explores his own experiences and hopes in his music. Webb’s musical journey began following the passing of his father when he was eight years old; searching for an outlet for the grief and loneliness eating at his heart, he turned to writing and performing music.

While studying music composition at Northwestern University in Chicago, Webb entered the OnRecord Songwriting Competition, a music competition involving students from Chicago-area universities, winning the competition with his song “Rumination”. During his time at Northwestern, Webb was the Music Director of THUNK A Cappella, and notably arranged the group’s viral cover of Bishop Briggs’ “River”.

5PM to Nowhere’s upcoming release, Stoicism, serves as a culmination of 15 years of musical and emotional exploration, delving into Webb’s long and tumultuous journey of self-discovery. It sees a talented songwriter and storyteller coming into his own, with a sound that is at once nostalgic yet fresh and ear-grabbing. Stoicism drops on May 13.

Begun in 2020 in Milwaukee, WI as a quarantine hobby, Oh Geeez quickly evolved from a YouTube animation reaction channel to a prolific music-making force. Comprised of frontmen Sean McGibany (vocals) and Jack Gilmond (guitar), with drums and percussion provided by Columbus, OH drummer Alex Dollenmayer, the trio crafts sincere, hook-laden pop/rock songs about family, friends, and fantasy. They invite you to escape with them!
