Check out a new extended Krush Lounge with Spun Mellow! This episode is sort of two parts...

First up, a full conversation with both Ethan Almeida and Nik Legg digging into their first full lentgh album that dropped in April of this year. It’s called Plasticity and we’ll check out a few tunes from that along the way.

Bonus Content! After I talked to the guys about Plasticity, they announced a whole new single and music video drop on Friday 6/28 for a track called “Overdose On Your Loving” and they were down to give us a first listen this weekend. SO, I grabbed another quick few minutes with Ethan to get us into that vibe! Stay tuned for a bonus conversation with Ethan AND a chance to hear that new tune FIRST, right here in the Krush Lounge!

Shout out again to Ethan and Nik for being the coolest dudes and sharing their music and time with us.

I just love these guys! The music, and the humans. I hope you do to!

Let’s jump in!

Rock, pop, jam band...that’s all stuff that happens with Manuel The Band but they’re so much more than those labels. With clever, personal songwriting from front man Manuel Grajeda at it’s core, these guys are creating a dynamic sound, taking it from quiet ballad moments to full on shredding rock jams with ease. The sound comes complete with electric and pedal steel guitars along with a two-piece horn section and a bass and drum rhythm section that finds that coveted pocket so well. The layers and arrangements are all so thoughtful. It all keeps you engaged and moving for sure. Beyond the music, they’re fun loving and funny and just a total blast to hang with! Follow Manuel The Band on FB, IG and Spotify and at manueltheband.com.

Catch the vibes LIVE as they kick off Downtown SLO’s Concerts in the Plaza next Friday 6/21! More info on the show and series at downtownslo.com.
