Half Stack's work thrums with an expansive Western energy, the perfect soundtrack to a drive down a wide-open desert highway. Singer / guitarist Peter Kegler was raised by a bluegrass musician father, who taught him the instrument at a young age and encouraged him to get involved with bands. This became a lifelong passion for Kegler. “I’ve always kind of referred to it as country-influenced music,” Kegler says. But while he and the rest of his bandmates have certainly leaned into scrubby cowboy vibes to come up with their whiskey-soaked spin on indie rock, one senses whispers of Tiger Trap, Silver Jews, and The Grateful Dead in the band’s music too.

Natural Bridges is a Northern California band that plays a mix of pop, rock, and soul music. Their album Residual Daydreams is inspired by artists like Brian Wilson, Brenton Wood, Todd Rundgren, and NRBQ. The album's songs are described as having a timeless quality, reminiscent of 1960s and 1970s music.

A songwriter, singer, and guitarist residing in Northern California, Donald Beaman has released four albums. He performs both solo and with a backing band and has shared the stage with Jonathan Richman, Sharon Van Etten, Michael Hurley, Mdou Moctar, Marisa Anderson, William Tyler, Xylouris White, Shannon Lay, Mary Lattimore, Six Organs of Admittance, and Little Wings.

Prior to his return to the west coast, as a member of The Double, he was at the epicenter of the New York City music scene of the early to mid 2000s. The Double released three albums – including Loose in the Air, on Matador Records; recorded a John Peel Session for the BBC at Maida Vale Studios; and toured extensively throughout the United States and in Europe, sharing the stage with: Feist, The Black Keys, Interpol, M83, Ratatat, The Mountain Goats, The Go-Betweens, Cass McCombs, TV On The Radio, Blonde Redhead, and many others.
