**About Catbite**

catbite.net

In the heart of Philadelphia, there's a band that's been igniting the ska scene with their infectious beats and killer hooks. They go by the name of Catbite, and they're here to make you dance, sing, and fall head over heels for ska all over again.

At the helm of the band is the fierce Brittany Luna, whose powerhouse vocals and sassy stage presence will leave you breathless. On guitar, Tim Hildebrand, whose lightning-fast riffs and catchy melodies will have you tapping your feet in no time. On bass, Ben Parry, who keeps the rhythm going with his intricately interesting bass lines. And on drums, Chris Pires, whose thunderous beats and lightning-fast fills will make you poop your pants.

**About Reef the Lost Cauze**

Reef The Lost Cauze is a Philadelphia emcee with his sights set on the top of the hip hop game.

HIs latest offering, "Fight Music" features Jedi MInd Tricks front man Vinnie Paz, legendary street lyricist Kook G. Rap and more. Reef is geared up to hiit the road this fall in support of his collaborative project, "King & The Cauze" with King Magnetic.

**ABOUT PHILLY MUSIC FEST**

*https://www.phillymusicfest.com/*

Philly Music Fest was founded in 2017 by Jenn and Greg Seltzer. All events are curated and produced by Greg. As home-grown, devoted Philadelphians, our mission is to host a music festival exclusively featuring Philadelphia musicians.

We do it differently than your typical festival. By structuring Philly Music Fest as a non-profit and organizing it ourselves, we eliminate the need to pay producers and promoters. This way, we can pay our musicians well and donate proceeds to local music education for children programs.

With your help, Philly Music Fest reinvests proceeds in the future generation of Philly musicians, while celebrating and highlighting the amazing current generation of Philly musicians. We hope you’ll join the cause and celebrate the music of Philadelphia with us.

We believe that to sustain our vibrant music scene, we must support the next generation of Philadelphia musicians. The bands that will grace our stages in ten years are kids right now. Unfortunately, access to music education is not as easy as it used to be since public schools have cut music education programs.

Philly Music Fest supports the following organizations that teach kids to play, bettering their lives in the process:

- Rock To The Future
- Live Connections
- Settlement Music School
- Musicopia
- Play On, Philly
- Girls Rock Philly
- Beyond The Bars
- Philadelphia Youth Orchestra

**SUPPORT YOUR SCENE**

Our aggregate economic impact has increased every year. In 2022, after compensating the musicians and ensuring our independent venues generate a profit from each show, Philly Music Fest donated $100,000 to music education programs. We estimate our aggregate annual support of the Philly music scene to be approximately $400,000 (this number includes the money paid to musicians to play PMF, profits generated by each venue, payments to vendors, proceeds donated to music education programs and microgrants provided to musicians in need of support).
