Joslyn & The Sweet Compression
After cultivating her dynamic voice and performance skills in backup roles and stage plays, Joslyn Hampton teamed with her stepfather, Marty Charters (a touring guitarist and songwriter who has shared the stage with legends such as Junior Wells, Buddy Guy, and Van Morrison), to compose a captivating set of tunes and assemble an ace band. Joslyn & The Sweet Compression (Carter Scofield- Guitar, Tyler Papierniak - bass, Rashawn Fleming - drums, Jacob O’Donnell - saxophone, and Will Doty - Keyboard) combine to deliver a hook-filled mix of funk and soul on their self-titled debut album, released in 2019 and their sophomore album Bona Fide. A headlining favorite at regional clubs and music festivals, they are poised to engage fans across the country with widespread touring in 2025.
