Widetrack is the musical partnership of Ron and Zach Tippin. 

The duo's "Alterna-Prog" sound strikes a balance between the moody-deep undertones of such progressive groups as Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Porcupine Tree, The Mars Volta, etc., with the heaviness of alternative and hard rock bands like Soundgarden, Queens Of The Stone Age, Tool, STP, etc. 

Between 2007 and 2016, Ron self-released the band's first three albums, 'Widetrack', 'Widetrack II', and 'Widetrack III', Zach's recording debut, as bassist. 

Beginning in January 2019, the father-son team wrote, recorded and released one new song each month, marking Zach's debut as a songwriter and recording engineer, as well as the first time Ron had written Widetrack music with another person. 

The twelve songs comprise Widetrack's fourth album, The Unwakening, released on April 23rd, 2020 (Zach's 16th birthday). 

The band is in the process of booking live dates and finishing their fifth album, 'Monoliths'.

Tie-Dyed Giants is a cover band based out of Fenton, MI. They play covers varying from the 50's to today's hits. Tie-Dyed Giants performs at private parties, festivals, and restaurants!

The collective began as a duo in 2013 with Corey Kapanka and Stephen Wozniak playing together at a local restaurant and cafe in Holly, MI, earning just $25 each a night, with a cheap sound system and mid-grade instruments, trying to start however they could, at any place that gave them a shot. Gaining interest from other music instructors who Stephen and Corey worked with at a lesson studio, the collective grew by a member every several months, up to seven members at it's largest, rehearsing together every week, upgrading to high-end professional gear, adding many more venues to their circuit, and decided on a name, Tie-Dyed Giants.

Over the next few years, Tie-Dyed Giants built its reputation in Holly, Fenton, and surrounding areas as a dependable, lively, engaging group, with each member independently recognized for their talent and personality. As 2017 rolled around a few members gradually bowed out to pursue other avenues of life, leaving the current four core members they have today (Corey Kapanka, Stephen Wozniak, Russ Sauter, Eric Long), with a handful of highly talented satellite musicians called upon for larger gigs.

Currently Tie-Dyed Giants performs as a 2 to 4 piece band, depending on a client's needs, while the individual members can often be found performing solo throughout the region.
