Meet The Artists of Firefly Music Festival

​First State and Firefly have partnered together this year to not only develop some beautiful content, but make it all with the local freelance artists of Delaware!

Rumor has it, Firefly is the only show you'll be able to see Billie Eilish this year that isn't already sold out. There's much more than that though. As usual, as you go down any festival lineup, the names get smaller and start to fall away from your musical palette. We've taken it upon ourselves to not only introduce you to each musician on the 2020 Firefly Lineup, but also give you a glimpse of their music.

Maggie Rogers is one of the many genuinely talented musicians performing at Firefly Music Festival this year. Ever since her big break that every one witnessed with Pharrell Williams at NYU Masterclass, she's been bringing Folk Dance Music to life in her very own way. Get to know a little bit more about Maggie and the other artists on the Firefly Lineup this year.
Based out of Wilmington, Delaware, First State Studios was created in order to celebrate the artistic talent of those around us! While many would consider California, or more specifically, Los Angeles, as America's densest population for creatives, we couldn't help but notice all the visionary work happening in our own state and surrounding cities. "FSS" is a platform for collaboration among innovators of any creative medium. Our goal is to generate organic exposure by linking together musicians, freelance models, tattoo artists, clothing lines, photographers, and anything in between. First State Studios wants to glorify our community and their abilities through podcasting, blogs, and also bio pages unique to each individual talent.
