who are we?

Emily herbein

FOUNDER/CONTENT COORDINATOR/WRITER/TEQUILA SOUR ENTHUSIAST

Emily has been fiercely committed to Philadelphia’s music scene for the better part of the last five years. After earning her undergraduate degree at Saint Joseph’s University with majors in English and Communications, she has used her writing skills to secure freelance positions with WXPN’s The Key, Reflective Surface Magazine, and has been the driving force behind Philly Live since 2016.

Since navigating Philadelphia’s intensely tight-knit music community, Emily has been a go-to contact for all things coverage, PR, and booking. She recently earned positions with producer Will Yip at Memory Music in Conshohocken and with Jamie Coletta at No Earbuds, working tirelessly as a scout, A&R liaison, label rep, publicist, and content creator. She wants to hear what you got.

If you know her, then you know you can find her in Fishtown (specifically Johnny Brenda’s) any night of the week. Truly.

You can follow her on Instagram here, Spotify here, and Facebook here.

Contact her via elherbein@gmail.com/livephlly@gmail.com if you’re interested in collaborating.

BRE CURA

PHOTOGRAPHER/The Queue Coordinator/WHISKEY GINGER ENTHUSIAST

Pretty okay at a lot of things, Bre has a passion for starting projects and forgetting to finish them (thankfully, that’s where Emily takes over). Photographer, illustrator, animator, interviewer, writer, Supreme Ruler of Simping 2020 - the list goes on.

Freshly graduated from West Chester University with a degree in Journalism and Media & Culture, Bre balances working as a wedding photographer and a music blogger.

You can find her getting a concussion in the nearest photo pit, or staying up until 7 am editing some kind of project.
