SUMMER of '86
"All original music. Pop melodies that get stuck in your head. Songs about love, hope, family, and life."
Jermaine Bollinger is an an award-nominated, chart-topping recording artist who lives in St. Louis, MO. He is a songwriter who plays all original music that he writes, records, produces, and performs as a solo acoustic act.
SUMMER of '86 has made a switch that most bands would find difficult. After five years of doing mainly cover songs since 2018, the solo act has changed the set list as of January 2024, to feature more original material when playing live shows. This has opened the door for Jermaine Bollinger to write for this pop act as well. As a result, they now have two #1 singles from their latest album, LOVELY.
"If you enjoy listening to artists such as: Prince, Bill Withers, Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, Jackson 5, Journey, and Bobby Caldwell, SUMMER of '86 covers all of these artists for every show. You will also find the lyrics, melodies, vocal stylings, and overall influence to be refreshingly uncanny to the style of the original music of SUMMER of '86."

Little Egypt Worship
Little Egypt Worship began during one of the worst situations in our history. We were cultivated out of a pandemic, and our first single was derived from asking God what we needed in the midst of our dire situation.
'Revival' was a viral sensation, garnering nearly 200,000 streams on Spotify, 100,000 views on YouTube, and many other social media accolades. We were beyond thrilled and blessed with the success of our first project together.
Since our original single, we've been busy, and we even took some time to participate in Jermaine Bollinger's albums.
Jermaine is a label mate at Salvation Studios, and we have enjoyed working with him on these projects.
We are waiting to see where God leads us for our next musical endeavor, but we are excited and ready to see how God blesses us next.
