“Our goal is to support a community of musicians and music fans and for that community to feel welcoming and inclusive. Diversity is an essential part of our daily mix of music,” said MD Juliet Fromholt. "When we say ‘Roots,’ we’re talking about Bluegrass and Folk, Country and Americana. Rock sounds obvious on the surface but gets richer when we think about everything from Punk to Indie Rock and everyone from Big Mama Thorton to David Bowie to St. Vincent and the Linda Lindas. Rhythm is Hip-Hop, yes, but it’s also Jazz, R&B, Soul and of course some Dayton Ohio Funk! Pop music on Novaphonic takes those catchy hooks and melodies from mainstream music and puts them in the hands of artists on the fringes of it. So think Bjork, Sylvan Esso, Bartees Strange and Mitski. And World music brings us sounds and songwriting from artists whose musical traditions and influences find their home in many places, but especially the global South.”
