Kendall Street Company

Kendall Street Company is a sixpiece rock band based out of Charlottesville, Virginia. Known for their immensely energetic and unpredictable live performances, the band's musical style incorporates elements of jam, folk, jazz, funk, and psychedelic rock. Fusing genres, they embrace mindaltering riffs as well as soulful and jazzy wit, while remaining true to their folksy songwriting roots. The Company evokes an everchanging kaleidoscope of sound, spinning out an organic repertoire entirely their own. The band maintains a central presence on the East Coast having performed over 100 shows in the past calendar year at venues from Florida to Vermont. This includes dates at Lockn' Music Festival (next to Umphrey's Mcgee), FloydFest (Floyd, VA), Rooster Walk (Martinsville, VA), Domefest (Marvin’s Mountaintop, WV), Shadefest (Avenue, MD), and many more. Recently, KSC has played with Moon Taxi, Dark Star Orchestra, and Leftover Salmon. Their set at Lockn was described by Relix Magazine as "raising the crowd's energy with frontman Louis Smith and guitarist Ben Laderberg's acoustic/electric interplay and lively, technical breakdowns".

Brother Guy

Started in the summer of 2018, Brother Guy is a 7 piece funk/rock/jam band that specializes in creating a feeling that connects all listeners. Whether you are into crazy face-melting guitar solos, or just want to dance all night long, there is something for everyone in Brother Guy. We started by playing in our friend's basements and garages, to eventually getting an in with Thunder Road in Somerville. We have been fortunate enough to be asked to come back to play with a variety of different bands and musicians and to some really amazing crowds. We have been building and getting more traction in 2019, as we just released our debut EP "Drawer Daze" that features 4 tracks of awesome, fun, and groovy music.

This album is a mix of feelings, from heavy funk jams to melodic soundscapes that transport the listener to a daydream. Coming from many different backgrounds of music, we wanted to create something that was unique to us, as well embodying the fun-loving vibe.
