Saving Escape Unveils Highly Anticipated Album "Good Traveler" with Headline Show at Cincinnati's Woodward Theatre on August 23rd

About SAVING ESCAPE:
Get ready to embark on a sonic journey with Saving Escape as they proudly announce the release of their highly anticipated 10-song LP, Good Traveler, dropping this August. The celebration kicks off with a headline show at Cincinnati's iconic Woodward Theater on August 23rd. Fronted by the powerhouse vocalist Kala Rose, Saving Escape has spent the last decade perfecting their unique blend of vintage rhythm, gritty soul, and rock & roll. The chemistry within the band is undeniable, and after ten years together, their sound has evolved into something truly extraordinary. Funky, classy, sexy, and unapologetically rock & roll, Saving Escape offers a refreshing and timeless musical experience.
Kala Rose's commanding presence and raw vocal power lead the charge, supported by Alex Muccino's dynamic drumming, Lee Sullivan's masterful saxophone and lead guitar, Charlie Graham's steady bass grooves, and June Boldman's electrifying guitar riffs. From their humble beginnings as a blues rock band, Saving Escape has fused their favorite genres into a sound that is both unique and accessible. Good Traveler is an album you won't be embarrassed to play in front of your dad who constantly laments the loss of "real music." It's something you'll proudly share with your pretentious friend who lives by Pitchfork reviews. It's the perfect backdrop for your living room dance parties or for the couple making out in the bathroom at your next gathering. Saving Escape makes music for people who love music. This album is just the start of their new music journey.

About SYLMAR:
Five Sweet men with loud guitars, dynamic vocals, loose dance moves, and rollercoaster rhythms; writing memorable guitar rock for the ADD generation. Jeff Buckley plus Queen divided by Radiohead equals Sylmar. Like Korean Cuisine, Sylmar is best enjoyed live. They’ve been a Motr Pub and Woodward Theater staple since 2017. They’ve spent the better half of 2022 touring their latest LP, Glass Ladders in rock clubs and theaters across the midwest, south, east and west coasts.
Channeling the swagger of Nick Cave and Freddie Mercury, the lyrics of Matt Berninger and the energy of Joe Talbot, lead singer Brian McCullough sweats enough for the entire band. Guitarists Dan Sutter and Luke Glaser pair John Frusciante and Carl Broemel licks with ambient, shoe-gaze soundscapes to create a wide spectrum of sound. Check out Fittering and Kinks to get a feel for their dynamic.
Rhythm section, Ethan Kimberly and Dom Franco impress progheads, jazz and jam nuts alike, with the chops of At the Drive-In, Thundercat and yes even Phish. Take a ride with post-punk bop Needja.
Sylmar is all over the place. A Variety show. Not for everyone, but maybe just for you. Sure to turn your brown hair Purple.
Check out their latest singles, Brown Money, parlay, Miss Peloton and soon to be released L.A. Waitlist!
