CarnyMusic is the solo project of Mike Carnahan, who is also lead singer of the SF western-psych band The Green Door. In a shift from the expansive, mythological themes of the West that embodies The Green Door, CarnyMusic explores the raw, personal, and even solitary human condition as well as its dynamic relationship to an ever-changing world. CarnyMusic expresses an earthy, ethereal, atmospheric sound, like a dream fading as you wake. With a subtle nostalgia for bygone eras, it hints at influences from folk, gothic americana, and blues. The outcome is an ebb and flow of sonic possibilities that stretch across a range of moods and intensities.

Making music as Under The Oaks since 2012.

Formed in San Francisco in 2008, The Green Door is comprised of Mike Carnahan on lead vocals and guitar, Reese Abell on bass, Evan Wardell on guitar, Vanessa Wolter on drums, and Devin Triplett on electric organ. The Green Door started as a project between Wolter and Carnahan, as they began writing and recording a series of songs blending the raw, desert sounds reminiscent of music scores from Spaghetti Western movies with the uncompromising rhythms of 1960s garage and acid rock. The result is a harmonic force of American myth and counter-culture ideology, best described as “Western psychedelic rock.”  Imagine wild 1960s rock 'n' roll driving through the desert to meet the analog spirits of psychedelia.
