Tune in with KC and Taylor as we discuss songwriting, pop-punk performances, and lyric writing.

Indigo Jones is a local R&B artist from Denver. His whole family makes or plays music, including his older brother Leewater, another R&B artist currently based in Phoenix, AZ. Jones grew up listening to gospel music, and R&B artists like Boyz II Men, so R&B came naturally for when he started performing. He met DJ MnM, a Denver DJ, when they played at the R&B Jam Fest, an event that showcases local R&B artists and gathers a community of talented musicians all in one place. She had moved to Colorado from Georgia for grad school; the two had great synergy from the start, and they decided to keep working together, with DJ MnM spinning his tracks next to him. Jones pulls inspiration from Dru Hill/Sisqó, Ty Dolla $ign, and his brother, Leewater. DJ MnM tunes herself to her crowds and finds ways to get everyone's heads nodding, and pulls inspiration from DJ Jazzy Jeff and DJ Puffy. Jones' released a short EP called "Wholesome Heathen Vol. 1", and is planning on releasing another project called "Ultraviolet Passion" soon. 

Indie/psychedelic-rock band Sour Magic consists of Eliseo Salinas, Mauro Hernandez, Drew Morse, and Jay Waldrop. All hail from out of Colorado, from Louisiana to Kansas to Texas to Venezuela; Sour Magic found each other through Facebook and Craiglist ads when they all moved. Morse, on bass, and Waldrop, on drums, met first, beginning their music journey by playing in an office of a warehouse. Hernandez and Salinas came later, bringing in the guitars and vocals. They find inspiration from bands like Tame Impala, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, and The Beatles, and write their songs based on vibes and energy first. Sour Magic is very involved in the local FoCo and Denver music scene, producing their own music videos which feature other local bands like Moonlight Bloom and Los Toms. They have an album coming out June 13th called "The Hive", surrounding the themes of bees and humans, and what makes us so similar. Their single "Silver Sands", which made its debut on KCSU's airwaves, drops May 23rd. Sour Magic is playing at The Squire Lounge in Denver on May 10th, and holding their album release party at Skylark Lounge on June 13th.
