Acoustic, electric, soulful, bluesy, low key, mellow, raw, rockin', heartfelt, sad type of sound.

I play all the instruments and I sing all the parts on these tunes.

Becca Richardson has always navigated uncertain spaces.

As a mixed-race daughter in middle America, someone always feeling “just left of inside,” the questions surrounding what it means to belong and connect have long been on her mind. From her childhood bedroom in small-town Ohio, Richardson found a first spark of connection through her love of music. Her earliest musical memories are of her mother dancing in the kitchen to artists like Fleetwood Mac and Cat Stevens, and her father spinning soulful records from the likes of Coltrane and Phoebe Snow after work. After learning to sing and play the piano and guitar, she discovered a deep passion for songwriting — something that still serves as a powerful tool for discovering herself and carving out a space in the world.

As an adult, Richardson headed west, honing her style in Northern California. That sunny, jangly influence makes an appearance in her songs, combined with her electronic sensuality and a bluesy sensibility. Richardson provides examinations into womanhood, otherness and the concept of autonomy.

After a few years working her way through the San Francisco music scene, Richardson made the move to the musical mecca of Nashville, TN where she quickly began work on her debut album with producers Roger Moutenot (Yo La Tengo, Adia Victoria) and Courtney Little. Her LP, We Are Gathered Here, was self-released in October 2017 and has garnered national attention from publications like Paste Magazine and Brightest Young Things, as well as local play on Nashville's Lightning 100 radio.

Twin Dimensions is a San Francisco-based rock band whose sound incorporates elements of psychedelic pop and post-punk. The trio weaves together multi-textured guitars, captivating drones, and bass-and-drum rhythms that combine the organic and the synthetic to craft 3-minute pop gems as well as lengthier psych rave-ups.

The group was founded in late 2016 when guitarist, vocalist, and primary songwriter Brock Galland (formerly: Skystone, The Dilettantes, 100-Watt Halo) met drummer and electronic musician Robin Smith. By early 2017, Twin Dimensions had some initial demos and a clear direction, and bassist and keyboardist Michael Calore joined. The group has been building a following in the San Francisco Bay Area, and a debut 5-song EP (produced by Monte Vallier at Ruminator Audio) is out now on bandcamp https://twin-dimensions.bandcamp.com/ and at local SF record stores, Grooves Records and 1,2,3,4 Go Records.

The Mallard are an inside-out-echo-laser-garage-psych-rock four-piece from San Francisco. Their home fried songs harness the naked abandon of 60's punk (think earliest syd barrett era pink floyd), but inject the form with a deranged spirit all their own. Close attention to texture and dynamics allow the band to explore unusual terrain – to grant access into unexpected realms of beauty and terror. . .with dessert.

In 2009, songwriter Greer McGettrick (guitar/vocals/drums) moved to San Francisco and began performing as The Mallard, self-recording an initial eight-song cassette tape (which would later catch the ear of one John Dwyer), and fronting the group through several incarnations, including a stint playing solo and drumming with her feet. In early 2011, she invited her friend Dylan Tidyman-Jones (guitars/keys/backing vox) to drum. They played shows for a while as a duo, including a west-coast tour. Their first full-length LP, Yes On Blood – again self-recorded by Greer – was released on Castle Face Records in February, 2012. Multi-instrumentalist Dylan Edrich (bass/guitar) came aboard, and as a three-piece they toured with Thee Oh Sees, including shows at SXSW, and recorded a video with Hannah Lew (Grass Widow). Miles Luttrell (drums) is the groups most recent addition. The Mallard perform frequently in the bay area, are soon to embark on full US tour, and have a host of record releases in the works.
