Pushing originality and tradition to the next level, Living Mythologies weaves together languages and cultures into their lush music which tells powerful stories about the human condition through romantic and philosophical contemporary lyrics. Cosmic yet concrete, the sound of their self-titled debut album due out this fall exhilarates and moves listeners in powerful “transethnic” ways.
The group has versatile studio musicians and four core members include the legendary Tuvan throat singer Radik Tyulyush (Huun Huur Tu), the sensational Uzbek percussionist Azimat (Greywolf Band), the aspiring young Uyghur vocalist Memetjan Metqasim (Zulu Band) and Andy Bauer a polyglot singer and songwriter from Colorado. 
Living Mythologies believes in writing music and lyrics which embody a non-fictional form of communication between different cultures by songwriting about the real transformational experiences that occur while learning about music and life across cultures. At the same time as working to cultivate the musical heritage and traditions of each member their music addresses the world today. They have become the first band to integrate different ancient inner Asian vocal styles with poetic lyrics in English, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Uyghur and Tuvan.
It has not been easy as the music writing which brings together more than four cultures and many languages is hard to do well. Yet their belief in a new form of cultural communication through music has united them to overcome obstacles and complete their songwriting painstakingly. Up until now, Living Mythologies has written about 20 original compositions with original lyrics. Their musical style rich with rarely used modal scales, innovative time signatures, atypical chord arrangements and unprecedented integration of different ethnic traditions that sounds and feels organic.
Living Mythologies brings into conversation the past, present and the future and making music meaningful to all generations, that will “remain deeply beautiful and powerfully philosophical for many centuries.

nêhiyawak hails from amiskwaciy on Treaty 6 territory. Comprised of Kris Harper, Matthew Cardinal, and Marek Tyler, three Indigenous musicians coalescing at the intersection between traditional and contemporary music. Their sound at times loud and sweeping, and in moments - reticent and careful. Their first EP in November 2016 with Colin Stewart (The New Pornographers, Black Mountain, and Dan Mangan) the music balances the band’s heritage with the present. Indie-rock guitar and dance floor synths blend and walk alongside the steady beats of carved cedar log and hand drums. nêhiyawak tells stories, capturing them in time through honeyed and haunting vocals, swaying in and out of the cacophony of electronic and analog sounds. Within the framework of the conventional song, the band creates and adds their own history and stage. Collecting and piecing together their experiences —existing simultaneously between diverse and disparate cultures— nêhiyawak shares with its audience their unique expression of Indigeneity in Canada today.

producing music in obscurity since the early 1990s, breaching a myriad of styles and genres, pete grove remains low key while diligently pushing forward with creative energy... performing and producing electronic music as sunkissed, hues, motion sensor, and streetlights while writing modern new wave pop as candlewax, his works are weathered by experience, but pure with curiosity and innocence...
