Sideyard Sanctuary
Fort Collins' Sideyard Sanctuary has cooked up a record that proves great songs don't always have to take themselves too seriously. With sharp lyrics and a twist of humor, the band manages to make you laugh one minute and hum along the next. The real star, though, might be the cahon - thumping, tapping, and driving the music like a full drum kit that decided to kick off its shoes and hand out on the porch. This is Americana with a grin: clever, heartfelt, and just a little mischievous. Sideyard invites you in, hands you a drink, and dares you not to sing along.

Whooz Larry
Fort Collins-based project Whooz Larry releases Thunderheads, a heartfelt new single honoring the memory of the artist's late father.

The result is a warm, honest performance that captures the quiet power of reflection and remembrance. Amazing guitar work from Taylor Tesler sealed it all up.

The track is more than music-it's a call to action, a reminder that compassion and resilience can drive meaningful change.
StreatBeets
Recording StreetBeets was as fun and high-energy as their music. The band brought their infectious New Orleans street performer sound into the studio and absolutely owned the space. We captured everything live in a single day, keeping the setup simple and the vibe loose to let their natural groove shine through.
There’s something special that happens when a band this tight plays in the room together —drum and bass groove, amazing guitar work, and that undeniable pocket they live in. With only a few minimal overdubs, what you hear on the record is what we heard in the room: a joyful, gritty, totally unfiltered snapshot of a band that knows exactly who they are.
This project was all about feel over perfection — and StreetBeets nailed it.
Sasha Stone
Recording Sasha Stone’s new 3-song EP was a true pleasure. From the start, Sasha and her band brought an energy that was impossible to fake — so we leaned into that by tracking the core of each song live in the studio. That approach let us capture the real chemistry and dynamics that make her live shows so compelling.
After the live takes, we went back and added some vocal, percussion and guitar overdubs to fine-tune a few moments without losing that raw, in-the-room feel. Sasha's vocal performances were full of emotion and intention, and we worked to keep the production honest — polished just enough to support the songs without ever getting in the way.
This EP really reflects who Sasha is as an artist: grounded, fearless, and full of heart. It was an honor to help bring these songs to life.
