NATHAN performs solo or in a full band format calling the band STUPID DRAMA. Either show keeps audiences "begging for more" and "the performance must be seen to be believed," says one Texas music critic. And if it's any indication of how much people love NATHAN'S distinctive sound- they have voted NATHAN the Best Acoustic Guitarist several years in the Austin Chronicle's reader's poll awards. With Grammy award winning bassist/vocalist TONY VALDEZ the live shows have elevated to new almost spiritual heights. Says TONY, "Playing in STUPID DRAMA has inspired a creative spark that has expanded my playing skill. People will remember these songs long after we are gone." After winning Drummer of Tomorrow Global Finals in 2012 at MusikMesse in Frankfurt, Germany, MICHAEL DAVILA was looking for only the best to stretch his musical palate. Michael says, “These players were so talented that it was a natural progression for me to join Stupid Drama. Plus Tony’s phrasing on the bass and my playing style go well musically. I really appreciate getting to play with musicians of this caliber and this new album kills!” The local media have called STUPID DRAMA's current studio efforts the most "radio-friendly" to date and moving the studio to NATHAN's home has made recording "easier than ever." "The fun part is taking the vocals that are on the CD and doing them live," says NATHAN. "It's not just studio fluff when you hear our discs. These cats are amazing!" NATHAN's dynamic song writing and his unique vocal styling combined with MICHAEL and TONY's monstrous grooves, STUPID DRAMA is an experience to be seen and heard. The band's new album, "Falling Down", has received critical acclaim from the local media in Austin, including Loris Lowe of Local Licks on KLBJ and Dave Prewitt from Dave TV on public access television.

Tamarron is a four-piece psychedelic rock band from Austin, Texas. Formed in late 2014 the band currently releases on Austin independent tape label Merdurhaus Records. "Dadrock is the name of the new EP just released by local Austin band, Tamarron, who we’ve raved about before. And no, it doesn’t sound like dad-rock at all; it only furthers their exploration into the realms of psychedelia. Your ears should immediately gravitate towards the atmospheric wash, pushed on by a grinding organ that lurks in the background of standout track, 'Cinnamon Skin...'" - Austin Town Hall "a sun-baked desert psychedelic sound..." - RVA Mag "Their album dadrock is loaded with hazy guitar pop that your father may or may not like." - Brooklyn Vegan

Michael Garfield writes music for which new words must be invented – intelligent, emotional performances that captivate attentive audiences with a rare mix of charm and virtuosity. Simultaneously tender and apocalyptic, chill and energetic, intensely technical yet vulnerable performances updating "solo artist with guitar" to suit an age of existential wonder. Born from the musical DNA of Daniel Lanois, raised on the serenades of Jeff Buckley and Fiona Apple, then initiated into the melodic instrumental grooves of Ratatat and Four Tet, Michael's music challenges the categories of both "singer-songwriter" and "electronic live producer." Nimbly shifting in between deftly executed fretboard-tapping etudes, athletic songcraft of heart-breaking sweetness, and ecstatic improvisation, Michael inspires audiences with lush and atmospheric music spanning folk tradition and the avant-garde.
