Led by the sultry vocals of Rachael Yanni and cerebral songwriting of Cody Hall, Traveling Broke and Out of Gas gives their audience a meaningful and sometimes surreal experience that leaves the listener inspired, excited, surprised, and  always wanting more. 
      
Originally formed as a husband and wife duo that traveled the country playing for strangers on street corners, living rooms, and campfires, Traveling Broke and Out of Gas, now with four band members, has an ever changing folk/blues/rock/country style and sound that has been appropriately labeled 'Bastard Americana'. As a touring band, Traveling Broke keeps the attention of their fans with a wide variety of original songs filled with instrumental diversity and lyrical magic. 

With dozens of original songs, three full length albums, and national and regional tours under their belt, Traveling Broke and Out of Gas is not slowing down anytime soon. Look out for them in your town, because they are coming; be it in a coffee house, dive bar, stadium, concert hall, or street corner.

Like you, Chris and Emily are trapped on a rock hurtling through perpetuity. In their free time, they craft angry, wholesome sing-alongs that urge you to root for the underdog and give a damn about your neighbor.

Two shots of optimism are most welcome today, especially from Lafayette rock duo June IND. The band consisting of decades-long friends and collaborators Chris June and Emily Larimer recently released “First Annual Meeting of Optimists Vols. 1 and 2,” two EPs recorded at a time when you could do that without trepidation. Under the guidance of Dan Precision (Rise Against, 88 Fingers Louie, The Mound Builders) at The Bomb Shelter Recording Studio in Chicago, June IND’s newest batch of anthemic tunes explode with captivating hooks and tightly harmonized vocals.

With June and Larimer’s hard rock roots ingrained in the DNA of the project, the EPs also represent an evolving sound. June’s guitar prowess is on display through layered acoustic and electric tracks on top of Larimer’s booming beats. The upbeat “Optimists” sound also frames their best lyrics yet. Songs like “From a Foreign Son” tackle our nation’s immigration and refugee policies while “Ok, Alright” questions a shaky economy and mystifying political decisions. June IND’s perspective is not heavy-handed or somber, however. There is hope behind grim issues, which makes it easy to be fans of these sonic “Optimists.”
