with the theme WORK FLOW. Five featured
artists will take the stage: benOAKS, Circumstantial Saint, Karma
Star, GMS, and the BJEWELLED.

Each guest gets 5 to 10 minutes to break down their creative workflow,
then plays their latest or favorite music: recordings, beats, and
more. Part performance, part process, the night gives the audience a
look inside how independent 717 artists actually make their music.

The event also includes 7 open aux spots and an open cypher running
throughout the night. Emcees, singers, and poets are invited to come
ready to share on the mic.

The bill brings together some of the most active voices in Lancaster’s
independent music scene. benOAKS is an independent hiphop artist,
producer, and graphic artist whose single “Empathy” (with 66notes) is
in national indie and college radio rotation; his new single “Fall
Down” featuring Karma Star hits all streaming platforms on October 23,
2026. Circumstantial Saint (Jontel Toland) is a poet, spoken word
performer, author, and host of the monthly Puff & Poet open mic at
Hempfield Apothetique. Karma Star and GMS both performed at the Indie
Artist Workshop showcase at Hempfield Apothetique and feature on
benOAKS’s upcoming EP.
