Combine the energy of alternative rock with big band arrangements and funk beat breaks, and you have the rare and impassioned music of Guy Fox. The band is made up of Northeastern transplants drawn to the Bay Area by the romance of San Francisco. They played together throughout college, jamming at house parties and cultivating the free-flow groove that makes their complex arrangements feel effortless. Pair this laid-back, professional attitude with their commitment to putting on a show that invites audiences to dance as if any venue were a living room, and what materializes is an earnest and unrestrained love of muisc that defies any cultural tropes of irony and aloofness. Big Tree Kaila Mcintyre-Bader, Anna Ghezzi, Dan Pirello, Luke Bace, and Matt Schory. -From Berkeley, California. -"California folk-pop quintet Big Tree is a band of massive sounds, funky danceable chords and hypnotic vocal harmonies. Sounding passionate, cheerful and sensual simultaneously is a skill hard to perfect, but Big Tree has it down to a fine art... Rich and full-bodied with vocal harmonies that carry you to far-off lands, Big Tree is a complete pleasure to listen to." -Right Chord Music The Districts Rob Grote, Mark Larson, Connor Jacobus, and Braden Lawrence. -From Lititz, Pennsylvania. -The Districts play laid-back, sleepy folk-punk for the young everyman. Their music is wistful and honest, the perfect, full sound to encapsulate the end of summer and youth. They're passionate and expressive, bursting with resigned emotion and past memories, all with an optimistic edge. Young Moon aka Trevor Montgomery -From San Francisco, California. -Trevor Montgomery is a craftsman. By day he's a skilled tile setter, a job taxing to both the mind and body. By night he's an equally meticulous and hard working musician, coaxing just the right tones out of his vintage drum machines and synths to carry his tales of love and redemption. As a tile setter and as a musician, his job is the same: assembling things of beauty to fill empty spaces. Montgomery's previous album The Trickerster (St. Ives) was inspired by his youth, wandering in the woods, riding trains, taking meth and heavy psychedelics, and narrowly cheating death on more than one occasion. On Navigated Like the Swan, his debut under the Young Moon moniker, he emerges like a shaman from the woods of his youth- his darkness is filled with light, cynicism, and macabre fixations washed away by a revitalizing and intoxicating love. |
