COASTAL STATES is the music of Sai Esquivel, solo and with a revolving line-up including long time friend/bandmate Derek Jester.  He grew up in various cities around the U.S., and plays a wide variety of instruments.  COASTAL STATES was born on a song-writing spree that spawned sometime in 2012, when he left his apartment full of old four-track tapes and pawn shop instruments and began traveling full time while collecting field recordings on the road. He’s been a painter, electronic artist and now summons the creative spirit with this latest endeavor, a personal brand of new mixed genre/art rock, playing shows around the U.S. At a prolific, breakneck pace, he has recorded an arsenal of songs.
