Who Knows is a genre-blending collective led by producer and guitarist Ameya Deshpande. Drawing inspiration from artists like Yussef Dayes, Tom Misch, and the new wave of chill, groove-heavy jazz, the group brings a fresh, atmospheric sound that’s equal parts laid-back and musically sophisticated. Set to release their self-titled debut EP on June 14, Who Knows showcases a tight ensemble of local Philly based musicians: Daniel Wilfred (drums), Joab Alexander (keys), Miguel Cid (bass), and Chet Williams (saxophone), with guest solos by guitarist Dave Thaker. Together, the group delivers smooth, improvisation-forward sets that balance jazz sensibility with a contemporary edge. The live show will feature Joshua Peeler on Saxophone and Taylor Kelly on guest vocals. Dual Identity is a boundary-pushing jazz fusion group based in Philadelphia. While earlier iterations of the band explored different configurations, the current lineup—solidified in the fall of 2024—features Steven Perry on vibraphone and drums, Noah Uy on guitar and drums, Josh Klamka on keyboards, and Rodrigo Pichardo on bass. The band’s hybrid approach includes fluid role-swapping between Perry and Uy, creating a dynamic and ever-shifting sonic landscape. Known for high-energy performances and adventurous original compositions, Dual Identity has appeared throughout the Philadelphia scene at venues like Chris’ Jazz Café, Bob and Barbara’s, Nostalgia Fishtown, and West Philly Porchfest. Their debut live album, captured across multiple shows, is currently in production.
