MODERN ODYSSEY
They were born in the Milky Way’s central black hole. Or on an orphan planet in the furthest reaches of its spiral, depending who you ask. Only one thing is certain: they arrived on Earth with a purpose.
Hidden deep beneath the surface of the planet lies a dormant frequency, an ancient power that, if awakened, could harmonize the entire universe. Through the power of music and the crowds it inspires, they hope to unleash that frequency.
Their sound has been described many ways: “interstellar rock”, “a mashup of Metallica, Taylor Swift, and Phish”, “woah”. Ultimately, any word-based description falls short of the full sensory experience that is Modern Odyssey.
THE LITTLE THINGS
A confident melody line supported by scintillating harmonies is the rock-solid core of The Little Things music, but their particular dash of wit is what separates them from other ukulele duos. Katy Channing and Shanece Gransam developed their chops busking in New Orleans with a smart twist on recognized covers, and now their clever originals are getting noticed worldwide. This year they've added two amazing musicians to form a full band: Tom Halla on drums and Ryan Monaghan on double-neck guitar/bass and keys.
REVERSE OREO
