“Made up of five students from The Ohio State University, Captain Kidd is an indie pop/alternative dance group influenced by acts such as Arctic Monkeys and MGMT. After releasing their self-titled debut EP in February of 2014, the band performed at major music festivals around the Midwest, including Ohio University’s #12Fest. They are currently in the process of recording for their second EP.” (Band’s official bio)

VIV AND THE REVIVAL

“My name is Viv and each and every person that reads this is the Revival. We’re all here to make a big noise. We’re all here to shake things up. We’re all here to change the world. This is your moment, this is your time, this is your world, this is your Revival…

I’ve played music my whole life, and I couldn’t imagine doing anything else. I live to hear beautiful sounds and create noise. I’ve only recently learned that you have to do whatever you want to do and be whoever you want to be, because that is the only way you will be happy. I write songs about life, love, hope and peace… and everything in between. To quote one of my favorite artists, Bob Marley, “The one good thing about music is when it hits, you feel no pain”… I want every person that ever comes to one of my concerts or listens to one of my songs to feel something, and to connect to the sounds… Life is one long extended moment filled with everything you can imagine, so as we all continue to make beautiful noise together, we remember that every time we wake up, we start again, a new beginning, a Revival…” – Viv

COLONY HOUSE

We are a three piece indie rock band from Franklin, Tennessee.

“Colony House, a humble apartment complex on 11th Ave. in downtown Franklin, Tennessee, has at some point in each of our lives been our home. Now it is our namesake as we take Franklin, TN with us and travel around the world playing music for those who will listen!” (Bands bio)

CHEERLEADER

“The hazy charm of Cheerleader first shimmered into existence at a Hartford, Connecticut middle school. Here, Joe Haller and Chris Duran cut their musical teeth in Duran’s parents’ basement, and their friendship and musical chemistry sparked a connection that survived the 2000s and colleges in separate states.

Reconnecting in their hometown in 2012, Haller and Duran decided it was time to devote themselves to their music. “We sort of realized that, crazy pipedream or not, we owed it to ourselves to give it a shot,” Duran says. On a whim, the duo moved to Philadelphia to start compiling new material.

In 2013, Joe Haller and Chris Duran self-produced and recorded a three-song demo in their apartment in downtown Philly under the name Cheerleader. To their surprise, the release of that three-song demo on SoundCloud led to features in NME and Nylon, some radio play, and a slew of SxSW invitations. Doors were opening quickly, but the duo was suddenly faced with the technical challenges of recreating their music live with only two members.

Haller and Duran already knew local studio manager and multi-instrumentalist Josh Pannepacker from Philly’s music scene, while mutual friends introduced the new trio to Carl Bahner (drums) and Paul Impellizeri (bass). The prospect of performing Cheerleader’s music live had always been daunting for Haller and Duran, who had trouble imagining how to replicate their recordings. But Pannepacker and Bahner’s production backgrounds helped realize their live show.

After a gig in New York, one of the first that Cheerleader played as a five piece, they were approached by Mark Needham, who invited them to record with him in Los Angeles. Haller and Duran were at first overwhelmed by the absurdity of the situation. “All of a sudden, we’re in New York having dinner with this guy who has mixed some of the biggest rock records of the past decade, and he’s talking to us about the lo-fi songs we recorded in our apartment at 3 am,” Haller says.” (Band’s official bio)
