The evening started with a BOOM from Brandon Phillips of Mensa Deathsquad that stole the show on the back patio with his electronic and one-person live performance. Phillips calls his music a darkwave, electro-alternative music style, which won the crowd over. Brandon’s voice echoed out into the crowd with his 80s and 70s hit music! Phillips’s energy was live, sending electric currents to ears and bodies everywhere.
