The TDHC after-party has become a larger and larger part of the event through the years, and we've had some fantastic musical acts help us wrap the event up in style! Here's a rundown of some of the bands and musicians who've made the after-party something special in recent years:
The Hustle (2009)

Jeremy Hollis is no stranger to the TDHC after-party, having performed for it in one capacity or another in each of its four years of existence. He's a mainstay of the Philadelphia music scene, playing his Philly-centric songs regularly at such venues as the Dawson Street Pub, The World Cafe, the Tin Angel, and more. It wouldn't be an after-party without Hollis, and we've been honored to have him on board since the very beginning!

Smiles, Everyone (formerly, Drink the Long Draught) (2008)
Smiles, Everyone(Source: The Smiles, Everyone Facebook page)
An artist, a scientist, a writer, and a miscreant merge to form an original sound, danceably pop without losing the rough edge of indy-rock. At times high in energy while also exploring a more soulful side, the quartet's 80's influence is present yet subtle as they pull from various musical genres to create original music that remains relevent as they tread wisely over cliches.
