FORAGER is a Brooklyn, NY-based trio whose music augments contemporary indie rock with intricate guitar work, melismatic vocals, and curious, kaleidoscopic grooves. Formed in 2021 after a fortuitous basement jam session, the band fuses its members’ eclectic music backgrounds into something both sharply peculiar and deeply accessible. FORAGER has built their following on the strength of their live show, selling out venues across the U.S. and opening for artists like Raveena, Salami Rose Joe Louis, and Red Baraat. NPR’s Bobby Carter called their music “buttery” and “complex,” remarking, “where have you been all my life?!?”
DAP The Contract is a producer/rapper/singer and classically trained pianist, born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria, who started playing the piano at age 4. He attended the Berklee College of Music for two semesters, focusing on jazz piano, music production, and engineering. He released his mixtape GoodBye For Never in October 2014, which The Source magazine labeled “the best mixtape of 2014”. In September 2015, while studying for the LSAT, he was invited to the renowned Abbey Road Studios in London for recording sessions with Grammy Award-winning “Uptown Funk” producer Mark Ronson after being selected for a competition produced by Converse. DAP released his new single Fuji Shuffle (To The Left) on October 23, 2026.
Founded in 2022 by Roger Brown, the nonprofit Salt Lick Incubator is reshaping the landscape for artists by providing support, grants, essential career guidance, and exposure to new audiences through such vehicles as WERS Radio’s Salt Lick Sessions and the Salt Lick YouTube channel. Led by an illustrious artist advisory board including T Bone Burnett, Jon Batiste, Patrice Rushen, and more, its unwavering commitment to fostering diverse, emerging musicians is a testament to its belief in the transformative power of music.
