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"!

About BENDIGO FLETCHER:
Hailing from Louisville, Kentucky, Bendigo Fletcher are a band that blend the organic sound of folk music with a melodic sense that owes more to indie rock, making music that's dreamlike and firmly grounded at the same time. Led by singer, guitarist, and songwriter Ryan Anderson, the quintet's brand of trippy Americana can be witty or passionately sincere depending on the tenor of their songs, and Anderson's vocals are informed by an emotional honesty that's as powerful as their music. 2018's Consensual Wisdom and 2019's Memory Fever were a pair of EPs that earned Bendigo Fletcher their initial reputation, while 2021's Fits of Laughter marked their first major-label release, as well as their first experience working with an outside producer.
Ryan Anderson initially created Bendigo Fletcher in 2015 as a home recording project, laying down all the parts on his own through multi-tracking and later adding musicians in order to perform the songs live. 2018's seven-song Consensual Wisdom, released in several unique vinyl editions by Soul Step Records, was largely recorded by Anderson, but before long Bendigo Fletcher became a full-fledged band with the addition of Andrew Shupert on lead guitar, Evan Wagner on keyboards, guitar, percussion, and backing vocals, Conner Powell on bass, and Chris Weis on drums. As talk of their live shows and word of mouth began spreading about the band outside their home town, they cut a second independent EP, 2019's Memory Fever, which was once again in several limited-vinyl editions pressed with unusual color patterns. Elektra Records signed Bendigo Fletcher to a record deal, and the group teamed with former Uncle Tupelo and Wilco member Ken Coomer for their first album, with Coomer producing the session at his personal studio in Nashville. Recorded in just nine days, Fits of Laughter was issued by Elektra in August 2021.
