Years Around the Sun - A Benefit for Below the Surface Biography
San Diego’s Years Around the Sun is the musical project of Ronnie Dudek and Dylan Raasch. With the release of their second full length album, Incarnation, their sound has evolved into its own amalgamation of the duo’s musical influences and imaginations. Gravitating to a more minimalistic approach to songwriting, YATS relied heavily on lush sounding synthesizers and strong vocal melodies to construct their latest work. While Incarnation delivers a more energetic sound than YATS previous releases, it still manages to retain the depth and emotional sentiment that their fans have come to expect.Benefit for Below The Surface, a California non-profit organization focused on promoting water conservation and improving water quality in rivers and oceans.

Privet Biography
"Just on the edge of mathy, jazzy, and at most times very exploratory,Privet is a group of guys who either know exactly what they’re doingor they have the rhythm and music theory gods in their corner.Cruising music, relaxing music, music to listen to while you’rethinking or reading or on a road trip. Tunes that elevate your spirit. And that’s the real reason why Privet is compared to musicians likeElliot Smith, Jose Gonzalez, or Pinback." -San Supersonic
