Hailing from Chicago, IL, The WISTFUL LARKS provide fresh indie rock with a vintage flavor. Packed with croony hypnotic vocals and warm melodic guitar tones, the band’s take on contemporary indie rock is similar to bands like The Killers and The Arctic Monkeys, while also incorporating retro flavors similar to bands like the Doors. The result is a dark, gossamer soundscape that is as unique as it is difficult to imitate. The Wistful Larks are Cody Varga (vocals, guitar) Adam Wathen (drums) and Tony Aguilar (bass). Since the band’s relocation to Nashville and subsequent addition of drummer Adam Wathen in 2019, the Wistful Larks have been focused on the evolution and curation of their unique sound. With their most recent release, Hot Chocolate (recorded at famed Dark Horse Recording) the Larks continue to cultivate a distinct sonic profile.

ATTA GUNS Formed in early 2022, Atta Guns has worked tirelessly on mastering their craft, unwilling to compromise on their vision, settling for nothing but authenticity. They recognize the responsibility they hold as contributors to the musical world, and they intend to do that responsibility justice. Atta Guns’ single, “Pocket of Time” marks the beginning: delivering the intimacy of grief and loss, capturing the soul’s violent weeping. It captures the complicated relationship we share with our hearts and what occurs when we extend our understanding to it, when we take the time to hold it in our hands and witness its suffering.

DOPLH CHANEY (SOLO) Chicagoland's DOLPH CHANEY made unprecedented new friends and fans with his first Big Stir Records release REBUILDING PERMIT in 2020. It was a genuine breakthrough album, winning a wide global audience and many honors, culminating in his coronation as WOODY RADIO's Artist Of The Year. But the singer-guitarist has been writing and recording for decades, dating back to his teens in the late ‘80s. "People who like us call us the perfect mix of 80s college rock and 90s alternative/power-pop, referencing Bob Mould, Matthew Sweet, XTC, Elvis Costello, Crowded House, and the Buzzcocks."
