Roi and the Secret People is a high energy original Alt/Rock band located in the Lehigh Valley, Pa. area. gigging mostly in the tri state area while playing through their catalog of 4 released records and multiple singles of original songs.

Renowned for their exhilarating live shows, award winning rock band Roi and the Secret People (RSP) features songwriter Mike Roi on lead vocals and guitar, Ed Golden on guitar, AJ Siegfried on bass, Madelaine Elizabeth on vocals, violin and keys and Pete Ciccone on drums. Roi, who hails from South Florida, has toured all across the country, lived and rocked in the cities of Philadelphia and New York, and finally put his roots down in Easton, PA.

Mike Roi set out to assemble a group of talented, experienced, and like-minded musicians to create the version of rock-n-roll he was raised with, a mix of sultry swamp, classic rock, and alternative music. RSP has done numerous festival shows such as Musikfest, Libertyfest, Baconfest, Make Music NYC, Heritage Day, 5 Acrefest as well as many dates with smaller events and clubs. Their music has been described as somewhere between the Black Crowes and David Bowie.

RSP's first album, Dog St., includes a variety of tunes from the stunning, haunting song, “Firefly,” to the balls-to-the- wall sound of the title track “Dog St.” Their 2nd album, Phoenix, blends Roi’s pop sensibilities with an alternative rock twist mired in sounds from the likes of Nick Lowe to Tom Petty.

Genre defying and fearlessly inventive, Hot4Robot takes listeners on a rock art odyssey of textured soundscapes, haunting melodies and evocative lyrics.  Blending a colorful palette of alt rock, punk and new wave influences, Hot4Robot weaves its own unmistakable and fiercely unconventional sound.  Hot4Robot is the brainchild of celebrated solo artists Alex Radus and Dave Cahill, and also features the exceptional talents of Robbie Sko and Andy Janowiak.

Radus is described as a “versatile crooner” and “refined songwriter”, while Cahill is lauded for his “surreal” guitar work and compositions that evoke “post-apocalyptic, dystopian landscapes.” This clash of opposites is Hot4Robot’s launchpad. Hot4Robot’s debut, self-titled concept album is a dark, whimsical and irreverent exploration of our desire to be more than Just Human, merging thoughtful commentary with energetic and emotive alt rock delivery.  Think a musical version of Netflix’s Black Mirror.
