The other two finalists were “The One Hitters” a band from VOLO and “80 lb. Cougar” from Bel-Jean Copy/Print.

The scoring was based on three categories: fundraising (which included fans of the band “voting” for their favorites by donating to Nuçi’s Space), judges scores and crowd response.

Luke and Sam (Emergent Heart)

Emergent Heart is the result of years of work and collaboration from a music collective that includes musicians from Athens, Ga and Washington D.C. – headed up by drummer/producer Luke Johnson. It’s free to download a copy of the group’s first EP “One” but they are encouraging that donations are being made to Nuçi’s Space instead.

The album features guest spots from Johnson, Kai Reidl (Macha), Graham Ulciny (Reptar), Suny Lyons (Hope For agoldensummer), Neil Newcomb and Andrew Black.

“Nuçi’s Space is a great resource here in Athens. Getting treatment for mental health issues is incredibly costly, even if you have health insurance. Nuçi’s Space connects artists in the community to doctors who work on sliding scales. Nuçi’s also runs support groups and provides an environment that anyone in need can take advantage of.”
(Luke Johnson)
