Based out of La Grange, Texas, The Youngest reaches a middle-ground somewhere in the center of Folk, Rock, Americana, Country, and Blues. Blending various educations and influences, The Youngest has a sound that is both classic and refreshing. Their elements of well-crafted vocal harmonies, ruminative songwriting, and instrumental virtuosity are all promenantly displayed on their debut album Feral Road that was released October 3, 2014. Since Feral Road’s release, the band’s rapid growth has been fueled by a 35 stop tour of the midwest, and plans of a larger tour beginning February 2015 covering everything west of Texas.
The Query is an acoustic folk/pop duo that is the result of the beautiful collaboration of Sam Golden (vocals, guitar, baritone ukulele) and Jonathan Herring (vocals, cello).
After the release of Golden’s EP and music video Blackened Sky, on which Herring performed, there was a mutual agreement that there was true chemistry in the duo’s performance that needed to be explored. Since the formation of The Query, the duo has continued to provide intimate performances throughout Colorado including an appearance on MIX 100.3’s Dom and Jane Show.
They have also composed for some independent Denver films, which lead them to perform live at the Denver Silent Film Festival of 2011. The Query songs revolve around encouraging the broken by relating on poetic truth; the duo has the tendency to captivate their audience by their unusual complimentary instrumentation, genuine chemistry, quirky banter, and harmonization that reminds listeners of the power of voice.
Through many intimate performances in venues, weddings, and recordings, The Query released A Little Night Music, an EP that was filmed and recorded live in 2012 with the duo’s friend, Emily Kitchen. The Query released their first full-length album, “Of Winds & Waves”, in January 2015.
