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.

Meet Sadie Jasper! We’re celebrating her first full length album Her Kingdom Come, out now! Sadie’s style is a blend of genres from pop and rock to hip-hop and R&B. Her songwriting is chalk full of self reflection and living through the struggle and at the same time, she’s coming through it, hopeful, powerful, liberated. Sadie’s story started in Texas growing up in a musical family, a religious family and it brought her to the Central Coast as she was coming of age and trying to break free from the oppressive religious culture she knew. A young wife, a young mother and a huge talent, Sadie Jasper is one to watch.

Ahead of this full length debut, she took home 3 New Times Music Awards last Fall, winning in R&B Blues and Hip-Hop as well as taking the Live Performance Award among some stuff competition that night. Enjoy a stripped down, studio performance of her song “Not Here In The Now” along with her award winner tracks in this new Krush Lounge!

Find Sadie Jasper online at sadiejasper.com or on your favorite streaming and social platforms.

Her music video for that same song joins videos from around the globe in the SLO Film Fest Music Video Showcase at Kreuzberg California next Saturday, 4/27. Suzanne hosts! Tickets available at SLOFilmFest.org.
