- The Heartless – a band originally formed in Tempe in 2004 – brought their song “Uno Mas” to Arizona PBS’ studios.
All four members grew up in the Phoenix area and were all involved in the local punk rock scene in the early 2000s. “I was playing in a band,” said singer/guitarist Chris Wagner, “Ryan was playing in another band, Johnny was playing in another band, and we all just kind of met each other through playing shows.”
When the other bands went their own ways, Chris and guitarist Ryan Mott knew that they wanted to be in a band together.
“These guys are some of my closest friends,” Mott said. “Playing music with them in a live setting just gets me really excited and fired up – it’s just a joy.”
“It’s very comfortable to play with these guys,” agreed guitarist Jeff Tretta. “You just kind of let loose when you get on stage.”

- Phoenix-based singer-songwriter Serena Nicolle joined us in the Arizona PBS studios to share her song “Above Ground.” Nicolle’s signature style of indie-pop has made her music instantly recognizable and popular.
She grew up listening to Queen, Supertramp and Phil Collins, and her love for music was fostered by her high school’s music program, which gave her opportunities to perform in various locations across the Valley.
“When I was about 11 years old, I did my first talent show and I auditioned through my choir. I did my first solo ever,” Nicolle said. “At the end, I was just like a deer in headlights. The silence at the end felt like forever, and then everyone was like, ‘Oh my god, Serena, yes!’ and I was like, ‘Wow, I can make people feel things with my singing.’”
She usually plays the acoustic guitar, ukulele and piano during her performances, and hopes to one day have a world tour.
