Since 2012, Monophonics has steadily built a reputation as a consistent band with a unique sound. Well crafted songs and records are matched by an energetic live performance. A heavenly signature style: Pure timeless heavy soul and warm textures of psychedelic rock. This is a band that revels in the past, taking you back to the stylings of the late 60s and early 70s, while always keeping its feet positioned in the present, looking ahead to the future.
Degler
Zachary Degler leads a band of curious music-makers in Boise, Idaho. With one foot in the indie rock camp, and the other foot kicking wildly, or stepping gingerly, into whatever sound the boys want to explore that day, the goal for Degler is to keep things fun and interesting for those creating, and for those consuming. Zack writes the songs, plays guitar, and sings. Alongside him is Frankie Tillo (Thick Business) on guitar and vocals, Mike Mitchell (Floating Witch’s Head) on drums, Davis McDonald (Jan Reed and the In Between) on bass, and Max Smay (Brand New Companion) on keys. While the official paperwork is still being processed, Zack plans to adopt all members of the band, and eventually the audience, into his ever-changing, ever-growing, ever-lovin’ family.
“You’re all Deglers now.. ALL OF YOU.”
Mattravers•Bell
Maci Mattravers and Grady Bell have long bonded over their shared passions for music and now, the two have come together to create soundscapes and serenades.
Maci Mattravers began singing from the time she could talk, and in her teenage years spent a large portion of her school career diving into violin, piano, and guitar as well. Her debut EP, To The Bone, was released in February of 2024. The EP, which started as a small independent project, quickly garnered over 50k streams across platforms and has drawn a growing base of listeners to appreciate her introspective songwriting and lyrical prowess. Maci’s music blends elements of indie, folk, and is inspired by the legacy of artists such as Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, and Brandi Carlile. On December 14th, 2024, Maci released her anticipated debut album, Back to the Garden.
Grady Bell started playing guitar early in his childhood, but grew a feverish passion for the instrument in his teenage years. Since then, he has cut his teeth and paid his dues in local bars and clubs with various cover groups, eventually leading to an original band, called MÔS. With Maci, Grady explores his more personal relationship with music and seeks to imbue the work with the often tragic beauty he notices surrounding him.
Though originally entangled in an arbitrary family tree, the duo truly came together in the winter of 2024, through Maci’s building a band to support her in performances of her original music. After playing together in this ensemble, the two decided to unite under the name Mattravers•Bell, inspired by a mutual passion for album, Cunningham Bird (which was in fact inspired by Cunningham and Bird’s passion for the project, Buckingham Nicks).
Mattravers•Bell seeks to spend dedicated time in the next year collaborating on their debut project, a collection of songs written and recorded by only the two.
