ROSTR Launches EARLY Showcase Series in LA for Emerging Artists

ROSTR has officially launched the EARLY showcase series in Los Angeles, marking a significant milestone on October 16, 2025. This new initiative, celebrating ROSTR’s one-year anniversary, connects emerging artists with key industry figures, including major labels, managers, agents, and music publishers. Taking place at a secret location in Silverlake, the event aims to redefine the traditional artist showcase model by providing a human-centered platform for discovering new talent.

The inaugural EARLY event features an impressive lineup of performers. Among them is Alex Bone, a UK-born, Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist known for his collaborations with renowned artists like Nile Rodgers and Tom Misch. Another notable act is PAMÉ, a Berklee-trained vocalist who draws on her roots in salsa, merengue, and bachata to reinvent Latin Pop. The Ghanaian-Australian duo, Kinder, known for their Afro-electronic sound, will also take the stage, alongside Bruvvy, a rock band channeling the spirit of classic grunge.

The EARLY series aspires to become a recurring event in 2026, blending the excitement of live performances with the promotional reach of digital platforms. Supported by Bandsintown, this initiative seeks to innovate the way artists connect with their audiences. Fabrice Sergent, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Bandsintown, stated, “Establishing meaningful industry connections is a real challenge for developing artists. EARLY embodies the kind of independent showcase platform that creates real value and opportunity.”

In addition to Bandsintown, the event is backed by notable organizations including Please & Thank You, Believe/Sentric, beatBread, and BMI. The collaboration emphasizes the importance of supporting artists in their journey to gain exposure and industry connections.

As ROSTR celebrates its first anniversary, the launch of EARLY represents a promising step towards fostering a vibrant ecosystem for emerging musicians. With a focus on live performance and audience engagement, this series aims to highlight raw talent in a way that resonates deeply within the music community.

For those interested in attending future events, entry requests can be made through ROSTR’s platform, ensuring that the connection between artists and fans continues to grow.
