WILDERADO
 ONLINE SALES HAVE ENDED. THERE WILL BE TICKETS AVAILABLE AT THE GATE $30/ TIcKET. CASH ONLY
Tulsa, Oklahoma band Wilderado have been steadily building a passionate fan base since first forming in the California mountains in 2015. When they initially came together, Max Rainer (lead vocals, guitar), Tyler Wimpee (guitar, vocals) and Justin Kila (drums) spent a summer in Latigo Canyon, a secluded part of Malibu, with longtime Sufjan Stevens collaborator James McAlister, immersing themselves in writing and recording. Those songs went on to form early EP releases with tastemaker indie labels IAMSOUND and National Anthem, garnering tens of millions of streams and providing the backbone to years of touring.

Following early recording sessions at their one-time home and creative space named “The Misty Shrub” (the title of the first EP) in Latigo Canyon (the title of the second EP), the band returned to Tulsa to base themselves from their hometown while touring the US extensively both as headliner and direct support. During some time off from the road in 2020, Wilderado was able to focus on completing their self-titled debut LP.

Wilderado was released in October 2021 via Bright Antenna. As with the EPs, the band worked with producer and friend James McAlister (The National, Sufjan Stevens, Taylor Swift) who was joined this time by Chad Copelin (Broncho, LANY) and Angelo Petraglia (Kings of Leon). The album went on to produce two top 10 Alternative Radio singles – “Head Right” and “Surefire” – and led to Wilderado’s national and late-night debut TV performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and an AM debut TV performance on CBS Saturday Morning. 

In April 2023, Wilderado released their first ever live album Wilderado Live. The 12-track LP featured career spanning songs including hit singles “Surefire” and “Head Right” along with several older songs including “Wheat” and “Morning Light” as well as fan favorite “Rubble to Rubble.” They followed this with their first new music of 2023, the “In Between” single. Produced by McAlister and Copelin and released in August, the song was followed by a live version featuring a few fellow Oklahomans including the folk/Americana artist Ken Pomeroy on vocal and guitar and Muskrat Jones (Colter Wall) on pedal steel and then in October the band released a new version of “In Between” featuring Matt Berninger of The National.

Since first forming, Wilderado crisscrossed the USA a half dozen times playing with artists as diverse as Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie, My Morning Jacket, Mt. Joy, and Rainbow Kitten Surprise, and have performed on the main stage at such festivals as Lollapalooza, Bottlerock, Outside Lands, and Austin City Limits. They also joined alt-J for a successful UK tour in Spring 2022 which quickly led to the band booking their first-ever UK headline tour less than six months later, selling out rooms across England, Scotland, and beyond. In addition, they have accrued 175+ MILLION streams and 3+ MILLION monthly listeners across platforms.

Wilderado is playing the long game. “We want to put out lots of different songs, to spread the spectrum of what our music sounds like, that’s going to give us longevity. We want a career based off of a catalog of great music. A career that we’ve developed through hard work.”


HARBOUR
"Since their formation in 2014, HARBOUR has gone from packing rooms in their native Cincinnati to selling out venues all across the United States. Members Ryan Green (vocals/guitar), Jarett Lewis (guitar), Ryan Sulken (drums), Walker Atkinson (bass), and Devon Turner (guitar) have curated an infectious indie pop/rock sound that transfers seamlessly into their live shows, garnering millions of listeners across various music platforms. 
 
Released on 2/24/2023, To Chase My Dreams, Or To Just Lie Down? is HARBOUR's fourth studio album, and a compelling display of the band's sonic maturation during their tenure as a group. Birthed in solitude and drawing inspiration from the uncertainty of daily life amidst a global pandemic, this 10 song grouping is a raw depiction of the delicate relationship between an artist and a dream. 
 
The feature track, Fish Tank - whose chorus lyrics echo the album's titular question - reflects the dance of fear and longing that concurrently pulls you away and pushes you toward your deepest desires; the paradoxical pursuit of that which also causes the deepest pain.  Floating melodies juxtapose ruminating lyrics, painting a vivid illustration of the narrator's internal war between the desire to chase a dream, and the apathy that undercuts that ambition."

WINDSER
As the early-morning sun melts its way through the verdant forests and out over the cresting
waves of the Pacific, the rest of the world fades away. Jordan Topf grew up in that golden
landscape, and that home of Santa Cruz has always lingered in the back of his mind even as he
traveled the world with a variety of bands and writing and producing for other artists. So when
he decided to utilize the isolation of the pandemic by moving into a house in Northern California
to write solo material, the subject matter came rushing back to him. “I wasn't inspired to write
about where the world was currently at, so I went back in time,” he says. “I hadn't ever written
about the place where I grew up, the early memories that shaped who I am today, and I realized
there was so much I’d left unsaid, so much nostalgia, so many stories I’d never shared until
now.” After crafting the songs that would become his debut release, Topf decided to name the
project Windser, in honor of the street he grew up on. Delving deeper into memory, he named
the EP after the way his dad described Santa Cruz: Where the Redwoods Meet the Sea.
Due October 12th, Windser’s debut brims with the complex magic that comes from digging into
one’s own past—so much crackling warmth and golden glow, but not without its lingering
shadows. Early single “Memory” encapsulates that familiar mysticism, pairing serene guitars
and limber bass with haunted harmonies. “Every word you said is just a memory stuck in my
head/ Like a video tape, it’s just a memory slipping away,” Topf sings, falsetto backing vocals
whipping through the trees. And as the last waves of melody wash against the sunrise, Topf’s
voice rings out with a subtle ache. “The song was inspired by a friend I lost as a teenager” Topf
shares. “The song explores a loss that I felt in my hometown in spite of the beautiful scenery.”
Throughout Where the Redwoods Meet the Sea, Topf walks the tightrope of digging through the
real emotions of his experiences without letting any feeling blot out the others—instead reliving
each moment for all of its facets. Part of that feeling of reality comes in the way Topf weaves
lyrically between the ultra-specifics of his own experience and the resulting emotions that any
listener will recognize deep in their heart. New single “Friends I Barely Know” opens with a
callout to Zami! Co-Op in Santa Cruz, a punk house/DIY artspace Topf would play shows at and
spend free time, but quickly pivots to the bliss that comes from feeling right at home even in the
midst of a flock of strangers. “Now I’m standing/ In a moshpit/ Surrounded by friends that I
barely know,” he sings, the smile on his face readily evident.
On the flipside of that coin, “Capsize” digests the loneliest moments, the times of life where the
world feels like it’s going to swallow you whole. “Over the last few years there were times where
everyone felt like they were drowning,” Topf says. “I remember that same feeling in high school,
when I learned how important it is to be there for the people that you love when they’re at their
worst.” Sharing that lesson in oceanic terms feels especially meaningful within the coastal
context of Windser’s debut, Topf’s voice like a lighthouse shining a path to safe ground.
Elsewhere, the swirling smoke of “Paris” continues the theme of longing for something far away,
but this time a person rather than the past. “When I’m all alone and nobody’s home/ Visions of
you here in my room/ Lose myself when you’re gone,” Topf sings, ratcheting percussion and
slinky guitar gliding under each slippery syllable.

The EP was produced by Topf and Day Wave’s Jackson Phillips, the six songs carrying the
well-worn indie rock tenderness and beguiling songwriting both musicians are known for—the
sort of sound that made Windser the perfect companion for recent tours with Portugal. The Man
and alt-J. Befitting the nostalgic tone of the EP, Topf draws energy from his parents and the
California music he was raised on. “My parents were old hippies,” he laughs. “My dad played
the guitar and my mom is a jazz piano player. My dad passed away when I was 22, so getting to
play his guitar on this EP was an incredible way to honor him.”

The elegiac “Drift Away” closes the EP in his memory, Topf reflecting on loss and what it means
to miss someone. The song revels in specific memories of small moments, a simple acoustic
guitar like a totem, shimmering tones hanging in the back. In both joyful memories and painful
loss, in the littlest experiences and the life-altering events, Where the Redwood Meets the Sea
finds bleary-eyed beauty. It’s all time, time that passes quickly but that can also be accessed
forever.
