A theatrical-ambient electronic duo based in NYC, comprised of singer/songwriter/composer/DJ/producers April White (http://soundcloud.com/aprilwhite) and Tim Owens (http://soundcloud.com/skywire). 

Producer Jon Margulies is the man behind Hobotech, songwriter/instigator of http://soundcloud.com/tinymachines, and is one of the world's best known Ableton Live experts . Since it's fireside conception in 2007, Hobotech has steadily grown in popularity, with Jon's recent schedule including an appearance at Coachella, an opening set for Bassnectar with collaborator Haj (Sub Swara), and shows which have found him sharing the stage with luminaries of bass music including ill.Gates, David Starfire and AN-TEN-NAE. 
The EP "This Is The Place" was described as "like George Clinton meets Datsik" on <a href="http://BassGeneration.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">BassGeneration.com</a>, and was included as a featured download in the 2010 wrapup newsletter from <a href="http://TheUntz.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">TheUntz.com</a>.
Hobotech is the sound of ozark mountain futurefunk, dirty electro gospel, and glitched out whomp crashing into delta blues. Hobotech is a place where Tom Waits wreck subwoofers and Ralph Stanley gets his crunk on. It's contemporary music that nods to a forgotten America, celebrating half-smoked cigars and railside cauldrons of stew.
Jon is the author of Ableton Live Power!, co-author of Your Ableton Live Studio with Chris Buono, and has written numerous articles for Music Tech magazine. He presents classes and workshops around the country, teaches for cutting-edge music school Dubspot and is an Adjunct Instructor at New York University.

Violet and the Sun is an ethereal pop band whose musical inspirations are as enigmatic and original as they are lush and eclectic. 

Band leader, singer-songwriter and producer-engineer April White has relied on playing the piano and singing to express herself in private most of her life, as if writing in a diary to find herself and revive her spirit. She brings her inner life to the foreground in this iconic and eponymous, breakthrough album, "Violet and the Sun." 

April called upon several friends, collaborators and skilled musicians to contribute to the colorful soundscapes the album explores, who journeyed to her rustic log cabin studio for recording sessions. 

The album would not be complete without the stylings, inspirations, ideas and talents of Aaron Day, Jon Margulies and Christine Bucher—or the finesse of award-winning composer, producer, engineer, and multi-instrumentalist Ben Leinbach, whose final touches and mixing/mastering skills took each song to a new level. 

Living on an acreage near the South Rim of the Grand Canyon with her beloved dogs, cats and dwarf goats provides April with an endless source of joy and wonder. The miles of uninterrupted pinyon pines by day and countless stars by night give her a sense of interconnectedness and place in the universe, which is intimately reflected in this break-out album.

28 North is currently playing tour dates nationally and working with ace producer Gavin MacKillop (Goo Goo Dolls, MXPX, Kitten, Echo and the Bunnymen) on the follow up to their 2014 break out record "World on Fire."

Songwriting is timeless. Instruments resonate with the strings of the human heart.  Gathering together to experience the power and energy of a communal celebration of music is one of human kinds' most distinct and gratifying creations. 28 North abides by these simple creeds and by result is simply one of the best bands performing today. 28 North. A Real Rock Band.
