GARZI's trajectory in rock music has been anything but conventional. His recent single, "GrowingUp," mirrors the experiences of those often overlooked in the genre's landscape. GARZI is a Miami Beach, FL native who is of Ecuadorian and black descent and was raised by a strong single mother who was a teacher at his high school. Now residing in Los Angeles, GARZI has become a beacon for diverse youths with his dedication to music. His commitment is exemplified by his impressive undertaking of three national tours within a year, reflecting his work ethic and passion at 26.
The concept of representation in music has always inspired GARZI. He yearned to provide a platform for people like him who adored the music but seldom saw their experiences reflected by those performing it. "GrowingUp" is not just a single but a manifesto for inclusivity in music, an anthem that resonates with an audience seeking connection and recognition.
GARZI's move to Los Angeles in 2020 was strategic, a step towards amplifying his presence in the industry during a period of global pause. His philosophy is simple yet powerful: happiness in one's endeavors is paramount, and quitting is the only form of failure. This belief has been the backbone of his six-year music career, which saw him recently sign with the admired Sumerian Records and share stages with bands he once idolized, such as Sleeping with Sirens and Don Broco.
GARZI's music is a fusion of genres, a blend of Alt/Indie, Post Emo, Nü Metal, Grunge, and Rap, with a voice that conveys both angst and calm. This unique sound has taken him on tours with notable bands, where he connected with audiences who found solace in his music. He highlighted his presence in the industry with a steady release of tracks showcasing his evolving artistry and ability to collaborate with industry veterans.
Based out of Columbus, Ohio, alt-rock duo THE ORPHAN THE POET is catching eyes and ears well-beyond their
midwest roots, thanks to their electric live show and singalong hooks. The band has made waves all over the country,
appearing on festival bills like Firefly Music Festival, Riotfest, and Summerfest and garnering the attention of
SiriusXM’s Alt Nation, KROQ in Los Angeles, and BBC’s Radio1.
The band kicked off 2022 with the release of their single “Feelin’ Good (Could Be Better)”, which was co-written /
co-produced with close-collaborator, Matt Squire (Ariana Grande, Panic! at the Disco, Demi Lovato). The track has
already made it’s way to SiriusXM’s Alt Nation, Apple Music’s Alternative Workout, Spotify’s It’s ALT Good, and sync’d
for use on FOX Sports during college football season.
The duo found themselves opening for The Driver Era and alt-radio favorites Weathers across the country, as well as
making festival appearances on the WonderBus + Wonderstruck lineups alongside Lorde, Vampire Weekend, and
others. With more releases on the way, THE ORPHAN THE POET is setting the stage for their biggest year yet.
Since their formation in 2014, HARBOUR has gone from packing rooms in their native Cincinnati, to selling out venues across the United States. Members Ryan Green (vocals/guitar), Jarett Lewis (guitar), Ryan Sulken (drums), and Devon Turner (guitar) have curated an infectious indie pop/rock sound that transfers seamlessly into their live shows.
During their tenure as a group, HARBOUR has delivered an EP, 10 singles, and 4 full length albums - the latest of which, entitled “To Chase My Dreams, Or To Just Lie Down?", was released in February, 2023 after much anticipation. Fresh off a two-leg, multinational tour in celebration of the album, and with more music in the works, the band has no plans of lying down anytime soon.
EVOLFO - colourful, fuzz laden psych rock
"The Changer" is a collection of uptempo electric nuggets and colourful fuzz laden outbursts from Evolfo made for the real psych and garage heads. This little album can be regarded as a companion piece (or perhaps the snotty younger sibling) to Evolfo's 2021 LP "Site Out of Mind", as it was mostly recorded and mixed during those very same sessions. While sequencing "Site Out of Mind", Evolfo found that these tracks stood out too boldly and recklessly for the flow of the LP, but they were much too fun and beguiling to be put to rest forever. Pulled from the title of the EP's single, the name "The Changer" makes an ominous and fitting description for Evolfo. Because "The Changer" showcases the band continuing to do what they do best: boldly changing and changing, trying on new sounds, exploring little pockets of the sonic cosmos and coming back with something different every time.

NON-ALCOHOLIC OPTIONS
Atlética: is a refreshingly bright take on a Mexican-style copper. Using the finest Munich malts, it boasts a lightly toasted malt character with a whisper of spicy florals before rolling into smooth and lightly sweet waves of bread crust and wheat. A medium-body brew that is big in flavor, it’s the epitome of easy drinking. A smooth and satisfying cooler must-have.
REPOSE: a non-alcoholic, low calorie social tonic by Lucky Frog - formulated with a special blend of ashwagandha, magnesium, and organic fruit juices that melts away stress and helps you chill out - without the hangover. And the best part? It’s good luck.
Katboocha: pride themselves on producing "drinkable kombucha" , Kat often describe their varying brews as: crushable, thirst-quenching, light, dazzling, citrucy, juicy, tart, or slightly sweet! There's no secret ingredient that makes our kombucha unique, rather it's the minimalist technique that keeps us tasty and true. Katboocha is made with tea, sugar, water + kombucha culture. No added sugar, no added probiotics.
Joe Bean Cold Brew: is created from coffee sourced through Azahar Coffee Company, our long-time partner, who shares our vision for a fair and prosperous coffee economy. This particular blend comes from small-holding farms in the Northern Huila region of Colombia. This high altitude area is known for its sweet, juicy coffees. Naturally flavorful with notes of caramel, grapefruit, orange, blackberry, and cantaloupe
IPNA: What are you getting without the alcohol? A piney, dank bolt of Citra, Mosaic, & Columbus hops, nestled by smooth and caramel notes of English crystal malt and Canadian 2-row barley. Sound familiar? it’s because we use the same ingredients to make our IPA. The only difference is that we pull this one before all the flavors get too mature to create a distinctly clean and satisfyingly flavor-forward Non-Alcoholic IPA.
Hoppy Refresher: is a zippy and zingy highly carbonated dry-hopped sparkling water. We added a pinch of brewer’s yeast to biotransformate the hops and pull out terpenes (AKA aroma compounds) of bubblegum, lime, lemon, tangerine, and a bit of pine.
