Johnny Franco�the name many love, but Johnny hates (keep reading, you�ll see)� is a Portland, Oregon-based singer and songwriter from Sao Paulo, Brazil. Walking between worlds, Johnny�s songs often induce an intense sense of nostalgia while still being fresh and bold. His voice is poignant and the instrumental facets of his recorded and live works reflect this. Wholly dynamic and known for his stage presence, Johnny Franco is a name to remember in the years to come. Johnny�s EP �Experience Report #1,� released in 2020, opens up with the ghostly western track �Treated Like Grass� and features the heartwarming and uplifting ballad �Immediate Love.� Following this release came the dual track EP �Stay Real / Shelter the Light,� a candid response with bubbly melodies and an unwavering sense of dedication to the sound.

Rowdy country rock from a bunch of longtime LT friends

Less of a trio and more of a triple-headed hydra roving through an alurring array of genre-blending styles, The Colin Trio is anything but typical.
Named after lead singer, guitarist, keyboardist, Colin Hogan, listeners would be hard-pressed to name any specific member of the trio as Lead. Whether it�s Colin�s knack for slipping in and out of musical eras with ease, or bassist Brian Link�s adeptness with any groove, or drummer Cheo Larcombe�s ability to start at the flick of a match, watching The Colin Trio perform live is akin to three improvisational masters besting one another at every turn between a cavalcade of Rock, Soul, Jazz, Funk, and the Blues.
