Folk, Indie Pop

with Zoë Coz and Plain Faraday When John-Robert left his Edinburg, VA, hometown (pop. 1,070) for LA in 2019, he did so with starry-eyed ambition – bypassing a Berklee scholarship to chase his own musical manifest destiny. Grammy-nominated producer Ricky Reed (Leon Bridges, Lizzo) signed him at age 19 to Nice Life/Warner, helping integrate John-Robert’s lilting blend of traditional folk and Appalachian country into the modern pop landscape. His debut single, “Adeline,” has become an 11M streamer, and collaborations and co-signs from Alessia Cara and Camilla Cabello have cemented him as a deeply auspicious writer. Now, on Garden Snake, the… 303-296-1003

Singer-Songwriter

Greg Volker is a Minneapolis-based singer/songwriter/guitarist traversing a musical landscape filled with long, thick shadows and flashes of blinding light. Sometimes soft and gentle and at other times jagged and raw, Volker’s music inspires comparisons to the honest and unruly magic of Neil Young and the sonic propulsion of My Morning Jacket and with his new project, Greg Volker and The River, he continues to expand the horizon and plunge to murky depths. Their sound shares a deep reverence and kinship with alt-country bands of the 90s including The Jayhawks and Son Volt. At its core, American roots music remains… 303-320-9200

But you are not really like John Darnielle, unless the action movies you found comfort in included French thrillers like 2008’s Mesrine, vintage Italianpoliziotteschi,or the 1974 Donald Pleasence mad-scientist vehicle The Freakmaker. Or unless watching them brought you back to your formative days as an artist, when watching films fueled and soundtracked your songwriting… 303-789-9206

Psychedelic, Rock

with The Crooked Rugs and The New Creep By 2017, Meatbodies frontman Chad Ubovich had reached a crossroads. After years of increasingly insane shows playing to heaving crowds with an ever-evolving and rotating door of personnel, fatigue had taken its toll and Ubovich realized another change was on the horizon. “It was like the car had run out of gas in the middle of the road, and I knew I had a long walk ahead of me.” Retreating to the seedy Los Angeles underbelly– in search of meaning and a reset. Ubovich escaped into that world, ignoring his own well… 303-296-1006
