Sonny’s Reach is the work of Greg Bonsignore. Utilizing digital replicas of analogue synthesizers and vintage drum machines, as well as an array of electric and acoustic guitars and basses, he works within fixed time parameters to create music with the quality of unfiltered immediacy. To achieve this he abandons the versatility of ProTools for the limited features of the GarageBand application. He likes to imagine these pieces as the soundtracks to movies that will never get made, or those that were abandoned, such as Jodorowsky’s Dune, or Gilliam’s The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. Lyrically his songs explore the collision between “advanced” societies and the natural world, the simulacrum and the authentic, and the certainty of youth and the nuance of maturity, as exemplified in Buddhism’s universal law of impermanence. He imagines his audience to be people who turn to music to shake them from a predictable existence, those who appreciate that there are thousands of ways to achieve distortion, none of which involve pressing an effects pedal or turning an amplifier to full volume.

Lucas Parker is a performing guitarist and studio musician based out of Kansas City, MO. He is the frontman, composer, and manager of rock-fusion project Lucas Parker Band as well as curator of a solo act featuring loop station and 8-string guitar. With multiple years of road experience and even more as a live session player, he has proved himself as a one of the most versatile guitar mercenaries in the midwest. He has since developed his own sound fusing bluesy Strat tones, rock licks, and traditional jazz language. Lucas Parker Band's debut single "Million Miles Away" is scheduled for release in February 2018.

From the Midwest seed-bed of indie-rock, Carswell & Hope bring vintage rock sounds and sensibilities together with big harmonies, killer guitar hooks and rocking tunes. Songwriter Nick Carswell is originally from Ireland and has found a new home on the plains of Kansas. The tone is a blend of psychedelic, Pink Floyd interrupting Motown, channeling Glen Hansard and Wilco. Think Mumford & Sons meets Sigur Ros, and Josh Ritter shows them around town.

Multi-instrumentalist songwriter based in Lawrence, KS.  All songs written, performed, recorded, mixed and mastered by Evan Epperson.
