Sorry It’s Over is a pop and alternative concept band led by Louis Petrella. His authentic SoCal vibe and original style have quickly propelled him to the limelight as the rising artist to look out for. Having reached over 250,000 streams on Spotify, it is clear to see that Sorry It’s Over is rapidly growing its fan base. Listeners particularly enjoy the band’s masterful mix of classic and modern rock. Louis draws heavily from an eclectic source of inspiration, resulting in an original sound. He has been playing guitar since the age of 8 when he got into his older sister’s Green Day records and then taught himself how to play every one of them. Now a music major who also has finished courses in recording and producing music, he soon converted the twelve-by-twelve square-foot space in his garage into a DIY studio. Since then, he has worked nonstop to craft his music and art.

Mommyheads

To their loyal fans, some of which often follow them to catch multiple gigs, The Mommyheads have it all: impeccable songwriting, inventive arrangements, thought-provoking lyrics, and a level of musicianship that makes even the most intricate time signatures seem easy. They are the kind of band who can learn a song by King Crimson, Genesis, or Supertramp during soundcheck, and make the audience think it's probably one of their own deep cuts.

The Mommyheads move effortlessly between indie, power pop, nods to the British new wave era of the early 80's, classic rock and prog – sometimes within the space of one song.

In a fast-moving media climate where few people take the time to really digest music like they used to, there's still something to be said for music that actually grows on you with repeated listens. The Mommyheads' songs do.

Bart Davenport

Over the course of his career, Bart Davenport has been many things: a garage rocker with the Loved Ones, a smooth modern soul crooner with Honeycut, and a solo artist with a track record full of sonic left turns ('70s soul, dance music, bossa nova, psych pop) that makes following his career consistently surprising. His early solo records, like 2003's Game Preserve, often dig deeply into soft rock tropes, enlivening them with his honeyed lead vocals and the care put into the construction of the songs. Later efforts, like 2018's Blue Motel (which was recorded under the name Bart & the Bedazzled) added '80s pop sophistication to the template. By the time he entered his third decade making music, it was still hard to predict what a Bart Davenport album might contain

HEALING POTPOURRI “the sound of a bottle missing the trash can” https://healingpotpourri.bandcamp.com/album/blanket-of-calm

KOLUMBO: Since he was a landlocked Dallas, Texas kid, beach culture has held a tropical mystique for Kolumbo composer, arranger, keyboardist Frank LoCrasto. Family trips documented by camcorder videos, featuring slinky jazz-fusion soundtracks are etched in the Brooklyn-based artist’s memory. In his mind, there will always be a fantasyland replete with wicker furniture, pristine beaches, swaying palm trees, the smell of vanilla-scented suntan lotion, and breathtaking aqua water expanses. 

These days, LoCrasto uses his imagination to create dreamy musical locales with the Brooklyn-based, Tropically-minded Kolumbo. The tiki-jazz torchbearers are releasing their debut full length, Gung-Ho, out June 29 2022, Calico Discos. The 8-song album conjures the lush sounds of symphonic 1950s and 1960s exotica, and jazz-pop orchestral albums recorded in Capitol Records’ famed studios. The album title speaks to the herculean task of producing an exotica album averaging 11 musicians per track during a pandemic.
