Patrick Dethlefs

Innocent of his own haunting melodies and lyricism. Dethlefs’ music offers folk Americana with effortless sincerity at a time when many acts strive purposefully to revive the stripped-down feel of a musical history long past.

“Dethlefs finds poetry in the memories and that slight pain in the laugh lines.” – Daytrotter

Sound of Honey

Where there’s honey, there’s a buzz. This rings true for the Colorado based band, Sound of Honey. Emma Rose (Big Richard) has been steeped in the music scene since she entered this world. Raised by two talented musicians and with a natural knack for songwriting, Rose has spent the last few years fine tuning her quiver of indie-soul-folk songs with only the finest pollen that the spring flowers have to offer. Rich, crystalline vocal melodies weave themselves through a sweet sonic landscape created with the help of Tobias Bank (Whippoorwill) on drums, percussion, and backup vocals, Will Kuepper (Sturtz) on bass and backup vocals, and Sam Armstrong-Zickefoose (Railroad Earth) on electric guitar. Together their warm hues, sultry harmonies and gentle tones create an experience of overall mellow- sparking curiosity of oneself and the emotions that come with diving into the human experience.

Thom Lafond:

Thom LaFond’s music is danceable, but with depth in the craft of songwriting Thom’s approach to music is to deliver pure emotion, tangled in rhythms for the dance-floor. Fans of Tom Waits, Andrew Bird, & Elliott Smith may appreciate the sonic and lyrical worlds that Thom creates. Transplanted from NY to Nederland, CO, LaFond is actively producing, performing, and touring nationally with his quartet Banshee Tree.

Fruta Brutal:

Fruta Brutal emerged from Martín Better Longo’s search for a musical identity as an Ecuadorian who immigrated to the U.S. at a young age. During his college years, spent in the bustling music scene of New Orleans and extensively traveling through South America, Martín was exposed to various subversive musical movements, including Brazil’s Tropicália and Argentina’s iconic rock, which would inspire Fruta Brutal’s bilingual repertoire. Martín’s latest single, Cultura Vampira, released with Denver’s Soundbreaker Records, showcases his eclectic sound that mixes popular Latin American rhythms with indie rock pop.
