Low Hums hail from Seattle Wa, but could have easily been born in the mid 60’s in a Laurel Canyon garage. Their influences draw from 60’s psychedelia, garage bands, acid rock, German Cosmic Music, and AM pop. Danceable, fun and not too serious.

Sunshine and storm clouds converge at the core of Seattle’s harmony-heavy, Folky Rock and Roll band Small Paul.

Born in and raised Seattleite Kevin Murphy (leader of The Moondoggies) shares drumming and guitar duties with California’s born and raised Chris King (leader of the Chris King & The Gutterballs). Chris brings bandmate and collaborator Malcolm Roberts into the fold on bass guitar and harmony and Seth McDonald to fill it out on keyboard and harmony (member of hip-hop band All Star Opera). These different perspectives all pulled together create the vibe that is Small Paul.

Musically, Small Paul is a 4 headed collaborative effort that began fortuitously during the pandemic as a fusion of 4 musicians living in the same pod. While originally bonding over the shared love of Wings, NRBQ sounding records and singing harmony together late into the night, Small Paul became an outlet and excuse to reckon and engage with each individual's own past and present struggles and to use music as an outlet to create light out of dark days.

It’s absolutely mind-boggling that we’ve been at this for a whole year now, so what’s more fitting than having your mind boggled by the cosmic jams of the wonderful Jeffery Silverstein? Jeffrey is a Portland-based singer, songwriter, and guitarist who creates music that brews together cosmic Americana, sun-soaked country-funk grooves, kosmische barroom explorations, and pastoral folk ballads into a singular, laidback, welcoming sound.

Ian George is an American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Minneapolis, Minnesota. The world is a strange and mysterious experience and I'm currently of the mind that no one has a clue what's going on here.

😍 The soothing soundscape helps your body return to its natural rhythm—inviting balance, harmony, and a sense of renewal for your whole being.

✅ Come rest. Come receive. Come re-tune.

Honestly, we could all use a good soak…

On April 20, our friends at L.G. Records are releasing “Sam Jayne Forever,” which contains selected pieces of Sam’s recorded history, a lot of home tapes along with curious outtakes and cover songs. By their estimation, the record is “Hilarious, bittersweet, incredible, heart-tugging,” and we can’t imagine ever arguing with that… Sam, who tragically passed away in 2020, was “a specific breed of classic songwriter: strong-willed, surefooted and unstoppable.” L.G. Records sent us some copies of this brilliant new record, so we’re going to play it and other jams from Sam’s extensive catalog with his bands Lync and Love as Laughter. We’ll also have a few copies available for purchase. And maybe we’ll get AJ to tell some Sam tour stories. And drink some Love as Lager! And throw LAL stickers at people (kindly, of course)! Let’s all drink to Sam.

The Blank Tapes is now and always has been Matt Adams, a soft-spoken kid from a Southern California suburb who learned to play practically every instrument a good garage band needs, and then started making beautifully idiosyncratic records on his trusty home eight-track because … well, why wait?

The Family’s latest offering—released September 2023—Kicked Out Of The Garden, features a core band of devoted musicians, and was produced by Portland go-to producer Cameron Spies (Spoon Benders, Shivas) who specializes in what he calls “mid-fi.” Kicked Out Of The Garden was tracked in Portland with additional recording done in Philadelphia and Ukraine.  Kicked Out Of The Garden topped the NACC 200 college radio charts for 8+ weeks, was featured on the nationally syndicated NPR program Live Wire Radio, landed on multiple 2023 “Best Of” lists, and has gained hundreds of thousands listeners worldwide.
