The Berklee Popular Music Institute (BPMI) is featuring eight emerging artists at its 23rd annual showcase on Friday, April 25, at 6:30 p.m. The 2025 student cohort has meticulously chosen these artists to take the stage at Brighton Music Hall in Allston before sending them to this summer's biggest music festivals around the globe. This year's BPMI artist roster spans multiple genres and features Jesse Detor (Lollapalooza), Glasshouse (the Governors Ball), Archon Theory (Inkcarceration), Park National (the Great Escape), Ringpop! (Warped Tour, DC and Long Beach), Axel and Lolo (Bourbon & Beyond), Dipsea Flower (festival TBA), and Ryan Mead (Country Jam Colorado).
The Berklee Popular Music Institutes BPMI Live program is an innovative, three-semester-long program that provides hands-on experience deep within the live music industry, specifically the festival business. As part of BPMI, students learn how to immerse themselves in the music industry as they develop their skills in artist discovery and development, communication, marketing, promotion, and live music. Curriculum activities are designed to reflect contemporary trends and practices in the music business, including opportunities for students to participate on-site at prestigious festivals and industry conferences. Students travel to festivals such as Lollapalooza, the Governors Ball, and Bourbon & Beyond, where they act as artist managers, production and tour managers, and artist media representatives.
BPMI Live serves as a springboard for careers in the music industry. Alumni of the program have gone on to work in the global music industry at companies such as Interscope, Capitol Records, DreamWorks, BMG, Universal, Live Nation, AEG Live, Danny Wimmer Presents, YouTube, Google, CAA, Wasserman, Red Bull, Spotify, Songkick, Sony, and more. Notable BPMI Live artists include Jackie Foster BM '18 (The Voice), Jobi Riccio BM '20 (Yep Roc Records), and Lizzy McAlpine '20.
The showcase is sponsored by Citizens Live, 92.5 the River, and Ben & Jerry's and is presented in partnership with Crossroads Presents and Live Nation New England. Tickets are available for $10. Ben & Jerry's will be on-site at the concert, serving their famous scoops, while 92.5 the River will be onsite for giveaways and meet-and-greets. Every attendee will also receive a free raffle ticket to be entered into major giveaways at the end of the night. The showcase, presented by Citizens Live, will be held at Brighton Music Hall, located at 158 Brighton Avenue, in Allston.

About the Artists
Archon Theory
Metalcore band Archon Theory takes listeners on a journey through chaos, balancing emotional melodies with raw aggression. This mayhem-inducing trio-frontman Costa Maitoglou, guitarist Ian Braesch, and bassist Owen Chewpow-channels their diverse musical backgrounds to forge a dominant force in Boston's heavy metal scene. With a growing reputation and commanding stage presence, Archon Theory is a leading name in New England metal, consistently headlining local and regional shows.
Axel and Lolo
Axel and Lolo, a Boston-based folk-pop duo, blend theatrical energy with literary precision to create a musical fantasyland rooted in deep personal connection. Their partnership was forged in a college dorm room, where their voices first intertwined in effortless harmony. That instant chemistry sparked a creative collaboration, one that fuses Axel's Puerto Rican-influenced spontaneity with Lolo's carefully crafted storytelling. As Pleaser Magazine puts it, When you listen, it's like being gently transported to a place of memories, whether real or imagined. The soundscape these two create with their vocals alone is pure magic. The result? A singular musical space where vulnerability and playfulness coexist, inviting listeners into a world as intimate as it is enchanting.
Jesse Detor
Jesse Detor turns teenage heartbreak into anthems, amassing over two million streams with her unapologetic, spill-your-guts girl rock. Blending '90s grit with pop vulnerability, she found her voice at 16 after hearing Phoebe Bridgers's Motion Sickness, launching her journey into brutally honest, heart-wrenching storytelling. Inspired by PJ Harvey, Hole, and even rap icons like Bad Bunny and Doja Cat, Detor's confessional sound speaks to anyone searching for their place in the world. Now based in Boston, she recently toured 17 cities with Shauna Dean Cokeland, packing rooms with fans screaming the lyrics to her breakout hit Sofia I'm Sorry. Detor's band-featuring fellow Berklee students Daisy Soper, Sam Anderson, and social media guitar sensation Emma Harner-brings her raw, emotional sound to life on stage.
Glasshouse
Glasshouse is an alt-rap trio blending the rhythms of Aventura, the poetic lyricism of Lauryn Hill and Kendrick Lamar, the experimentalism of Bj rk, and the nostalgia of Millsberry, the General Mills cult-classic video game. Born from a desire to push artistic boundaries, they adopted the name Glasshouse, a symbol of transparency and authenticity. Through immersive visuals and sonic exploration, the trio aims to elevate independent artistry. In a genre dominated by DJs, Glasshouse has carved out a distinct niche with high-energy, full-band performances, selling out shows and inspiring their community in Lawrence, Massachusetts, to re
