RAVYN

Reflection is warped. Perception is torched.
The world as we know it is coming up short.
They don’t understand, the rhetoric planned
Leaves no room for growth or compassionate hands.

The 13th Annual Electric City Music Conference is excited to welcome RAVYN to Scranton this September, bringing their unique alternative folk-rock sound and captivating live performance to ECMC 2026.

A rising force in the Northeastern Pennsylvania music scene, RAVYN is a Scranton-based alternative and indie folk-rock project fronted by Robyn Ess and Kenneth Watkins, blending heartfelt songwriting with atmospheric arrangements and full-band energy.

What began with acoustic roots has evolved into a rich, experimental sound that pairs emotionally resonant lyrics, indie-folk textures, and energetic rock instrumentation into something both intimate and powerful.

Known for standout original songs like “Blue,” “Control,” “The Testimony,” “Monsters,” “Change,” and “Final Bow,” RAVYN has quickly built a name in the NEPA underground scene with a sound that feels raw, creative, and impossible to ignore.

Backed by a dynamic full-band lineup and fueled by the collaborative spirit of Scranton’s tight-knit music community, RAVYN delivers performances that balance atmosphere, emotion, and live energy in all the right ways.

If you love indie folk-rock, emotional songwriting, and artists who create music that hits both the heart and the soul, RAVYN is a set you do not want to miss this September in Scranton.
