VESPERTEEN
Colin Rigsby does many things well but domesticity is not one of them. Rigsby, who has been playing drums since the age of 12, took a stab at civilian life following more than a decade of writing, recording, and touring the world with hisband House of Heroes, but it didn’t take very well. After the band had started to wind down I tried to take a break from music and be very domesticated and get into other hobbies, he said. Nothing really stuck and I asked a friend who's a local promoter to throw me on as an acoustic opener for any shows he had. I fleshed out a bunch of unfinished songs I had started over the years and just started figuring out how to be a solo guy playing guitar and singing. What started out as a remedy for restlessness, however, soon developed into a full-blown passion and the beginnings of Rigsby’s new solo project--Vesperteen
PHANGS
PHANGS is the dream pop notion of Nashville's Jake Germany.
Blanketed in layers of synthesizers, steady pulsing percussion, and the memories of growing up in the early 90's, PHANGS stirs up familiarity and innovation under the umbrella of honesty.
PATTERNIST
Patternist bursts with a blend of rhythmic synths, heart-thumping percussion, and lush arrangements that backdrop songwriter Gabe Mouer’s boyish tenor and wistful lyrics.
