★ River Mann is here to ferry you across the waters, whether you are a boat lost at sea or a soul in need of warmth. Led by singer–songwriter William Thomas, this exciting new project out of Colorado’s vibrant music scene will move you through sound, story, and the subconscious. Taking inspiration from American roots music, contemporary folk, progressive rock, and classical music, River Mann’s transcendent and energetic live performances promise a journey of dancing, swooning, smiling, and moments of introspection. Full of heart and spirit, this music delves into the human condition with sincerity and compassion. River Mann’s sound is defined not only by Will’s songwriting prowess but also by exceptional musicianship & genuine camaraderie, with the soulful playing Madalyn McCoy’s violin and Gabriel Anthony’s slide guitar. James Davis brings the thunder and the groove on bass, while on the kit—sporting one of the finest mustaches west of the Mississippi—is one of Colorado’s most explosive young drummers, Mr. Benjamin Waterson.

★ Wild Shadows’ music embodies a haunting familiarity with what it means to be human. The Denver band's debut album, Paonia, is a heartfelt tapestry of sentimental, healing-inspired melodies, inviting listeners on a transformative journey of self-discovery and connection with the divine wisdom that resides within us all. The emotive voice of frontman, Christopher Owen Nelson, paired with a blend of acoustic and electronic instrumentation, take you on a journey across a peaceful, powerful and mesmerizing sonic landscape. Nelson is accompanied by Chachi Mendoza, whose ethereal synth textures and captivating vocal harmonies add an otherworldly element to the music. Justin Wagley's bass and synth work provide a solid foundation, while Justin Reinking's piano and keys elevate the melodic intricacies. Completing the band is Cody York, whose skillful drumming and sampling techniques add rhythmic depth to the sound. Together, their compositions explore themes such as life, death, love, loss, joy, sorrow, hope, and freedom. The introspective lyrics convey a deep longing for liberation from the conditions that suppress our wild essence, urging listeners to rediscover their primal nature and nurture their relationships with themselves, fellow humans, and the Earth.
