In Xanadu did Kubla Khan A stately Hunnypot decree: Where music, the sacred river ran through speakers measureless to Man. Show 6/24/19 was a fertile ground of epic flow. Hot Tub Johnnie released a "Kraken" playlist of new and old favorites. David Hayman left the Great White North for our warm water and brought a champion set of music. Gavin Haley wasn't bullish with his tender tones. Geena Fontanella got everyone singing along with her on her pop anthems. The Little Miss became America's not so sweetheart right before our eyes.

GavinHaley

GAVIN HALEY

Informed by his clear-eyed musings on human interaction, 21-year-old singer/songwriter Gavin Haley weaves personal experiences into timeless narratives that feel universally relatable. A former professional cyclist turned musician, Haley’s genre-bending approach to pop pairs a plethora of contemporary influences with introspective lyrics, underpinned by an enduring sense of hope. If raw emotions are the muse of songwriters, faith and optimism would be Haley’s calling card. Singles like “Picture Me Now” (which debuted last year), illustrate his innate talent for curating emotion against vivid, yearning soundscapes. Finding inspiration from a gamut of artists, including Ed Sheeran, Frank Ocean, Earl Sweatshirt and Bruce Springsteen, Haley admits that he cares little about conforming to a specific sound. Instead, he prefers to concentrate on the storytelling, crafting narratives that feel accessible at all levels. “My music will make you feel good,” he explains simply.

Born in Michigan, Haley and his family relocated to Louisville, Kentucky, when the singer was just four-years-old. There in a close-knit community of neighbors and siblings, his passion for singing emerged. “My parents are very religious. When I was younger I would go to youth group a lot. That kind of led to me getting into more instruments and music, but back then I didn’t really have time because athletics sort of took over my life,” he admits.

By 16, the family had relocated to Northern California and athletics had more than taken over Haley’s life, it was his life. While his parents and siblings remained in California, he relocated to Belgium for half the year where he competed with the national cycling team. While there, Haley suffered an injury that resulted in a collapsed lung, setting back his travel by several months. During his recovery, he explored and found inspiration in Europe’s underground music scene, becoming enamored with energetic live performances filled with a grit and energy.

Such autonomy at so young an age greatly influenced Haley, who reflects that the discipline of professional athletics caused him to grow up quickly. “I definitely didn’t have normal teenage years,” he muses. Still, the structured life of an athlete taught him valuable life lessons, the themes of which are often reflected in lyrics that feel and sound years older than the artist. In “Fades Away,” his first single, which landed on Spotify’s “Viral 50” chart at numbers 1, 8 and 18 respectively in Australia, the UK and America, Haley’s heartfelt reflections rise over a sparse backbeat (complete with finger snaps), ultimately detailing what it feels like to love someone who is just out of reach.

In the summer of 2016 with just a handful of songs under his belt, a then 19-year-old Haley left cycling behind and moved permanently to Los Angeles. Inspired by a different city and wildly new experiences, he completed an additional 250 songs by the end of the summer. “At first I was making music I thought other people would like,” he explained. “When I moved to LA, I started creating music that I liked. I think that was really important. Staying true to yourself, no matter what it is - whether it’s a rap song, or a song from the ‘40s or the ‘60s - being able to pull different pieces from all of those and put them into something that feels good to you, I think that resonates to the world.”

The meaning of staying true has shifted for Haley in over the years. The juxtaposition between his life as an athlete and a musician offer endless fodder for writing and thought, but so does life on the West Coast. And while making people feel good will always remain at the heart of his sound, his exposure to both pop and praise songs is finding new junctures with electronic and R&B-facing sounds.

Haley recently signed with Red Bull Records and is set to release new music throughout the rest of this year. He is currently working on his debut solo album.

the little miss

THE LITTLE MISS

Looking to capture the apple pie-eyed idealism of traditional Americana music, The Little Miss can be most accurately described as a romantic, twenty-first century take on a seemingly simpler time.

With roots in jazz, blues and folk music, the sound of The Little Miss ranges from the gritty guitar riffs of the old west to one-take, twangy samplings straight from the plains.

Influences include Woody Guthrie's simplicity, Frank Sinatra's theatrical nature, Cole Porter's wit, Billie Holiday's pain, and Bob Dylan's right foot.

BRITTANY PFANTZ

Indie alternative, singer-songwriter from Louisiana. Her music is perfumed with jazz and
down-in-your-gut soul. She parades her roots honestly like the street bands of New
Orleans, where she learned how to stay true to the music and herself.

Brittany’s powerhouse voice is the reason why she’s compared to Amy Winehouse, Adele, and Janis Joplin. She loves to make people feel deep, go places within that they’ve been afraid of, cause them to think and move beyond to something greater, to some other worldliness. Life is her inspiration, the highs, lows, in-betweens, and all the greats who have dared to be fully themselves in this industry. It is her purpose and passion to use music to bridge the gaps between the mundane and the heavenlies, like the greek goddess iris.

Wolves 

 

WOLVES

Meet WOLVES, a band that is breaking barriers and pushing the boundaries of modern music with their infectious blend of genres. Consisting of Marc Avery, Sean Carney, and Rockwell Sands, the Los Angeles based trio have created their own unique sound, marrying pop sensibilities with bold rock’n’roll and gritty urban beats. With each member hailing from various cultural backgrounds, WOLVES have crafted their own distinct style, shaping the sound of pop culture as we know it.

“We wondered what it would be like if we took all these different influences we loved—artists like Michael Jackson, the Eagles, Coldplay—and rolled them all into one band today,” Sands muses. Their eclectic influences proved to be inspirational, with their debut single ‘Animal’ giving the trio their signature explosive sound.

The band was named after the characteristics of wolves. These majestic animals which are bonded by an innate sense of the pack, move in harmony as one unit towards common goals. “I can’t think of a better way to describe us. The three of us are all about the good of the group; every day we try to embody that philosophy in our music and beyond.” remarks Avery.

WOLVES highly anticipated single 'Freaky' is an anthem to inspire others to be brave and embrace who you are, to share your inner-most desires with the world and to live life to the fullest. Featuring slick indie pop grooves, 90’s reminiscent hip hop and hard-hitting rhythms, ‘Freaky’ is a song that you can’t help but dance to. "We love listening to music from back in the day and try to re-imagine what it would sound like today.” reveals Carney.

From the primal energy of ‘Animal' to the seductive tones in ‘Freaky’, WOLVES have crafted a wildly diverse range of music built for pop radio and stadiums alike. Having already earned top spots on the Billboard charts and heavy rotation on Sirius XM Hits 1, the trio hopes to inspire audiences across the globe with their music, and to continue creating unforgettable songs that at once nod to the past and hurtle towards the future.

Bedroom politics is some dirty business.

"Imagine it choreographed. Casey Spooner rocking his mustache shirtless, featuring Chairlift vocalist Caroline Polachek, with special guests artist-DJ Juliana Huxtable and actor Juan Pablo Rahal. 

Personal, honest and unconcealed homosexuality put right in front of the audience, just like Fischerspooner as always. Produced by Michael Stripe, SIR depicts the period after Spooner ended a 14-year relationship. "[Spooner] encouraged me to be more emotionally connected and to trust my voice... and fought for more raw vocal," Spooner stated at NPR Music. ""He was a mentor and a great friend who guided me through troubled times and captured my experience. He lifted me up at my lowest. This album is a document of that experience."

Boots, producer for Beyonce, Run The Jewels and Autolux, co-produced "Have Fun Tonight", and also sprinkled some magic dust for another 2 tracks.

Fischerspooner demonstrates to us music is about love. It is also about sweat, and tears, and struggle and lust and infatuation and heartbreaks. And rebirth.

A note for you: TopBrazil is just out. And oh, SF, LA and OC, make yourself available on March 14th, 15th and 16th. Party's on. Pre-game supplied in the video above.

Going all out for the "Blue Ribbon" music video, Jessie Reyez gets a little crazy! This single off of her most recent EP Kiddo is a lively compilation of crazy stage moments, crowd surfing, and unforgettable behind the scenes footage of the singer. It's a bold song for the normally somber songstress however it's a refreshing turn that shows diversity in her artistry and fans seem to agree! It's a fun video that depicts another unsolicited side Jessie while also giving an inside look at some of the intimate details that goes into what she does for her career such as making hand painted T-shirts. 

This Canadian-Columbian singer-songwriter is soul bearing in her music and with her audience. She gained notoriety for the music video for her song "Gatekeeper" which depicts music industry sexism as she sings about an experience she had as a young female trying to make it big in the music industry. She's been compared to greats such as Amy Winehouse for her ability to give gut-wrenchingly beautiful, brutally honest performances.

When something starts with a mature content warning, it's automatically intriguing. The video for the song "Prayin 4 The Weekend" by Kozze is no different and does not disappoint! Kozze's vocals are smooth and emotionally powerful over the party trap beat. The song talks about a declining romantic relationship and how one handles it. As forewarned, there is a theme of nudity, drugs, and violence with an unsuspected ending. The video is very cinematic in nature and is done tastefully evoking thought about the characters and their situation. Take a trip into this drugged up party world where the depressed escape through visions of euphoria and hot pink haired women. 

Kozze is an up and coming R&B/Hip-Hop multi-instrumentalist who writes, produces, and engineers most of his own material. This song is from his recent EP Sellouts released earlier in 2017. We're excited to announce he will be taking the stage at Hunnypot Live at The Mint LA on October 16th, 2017. Kozze is an amazing live vocalist so catch this free, all ages event!

Branchez and Big Wet seem an unlikely duo at first, but after hearing “Turn Up On The Weekend” you'll be asking when their next party anthem is being released! This mix of country and trap music demonstrates the emergence of the creative collaborative energy that's been blowing up with musicians. Branchez is known for being an electronic DJ/ producer who’s remix of “High You Are” by What So Not blew up in 2013 at music festivals everywhere. 

Big Wet is a newly emerging artist with a deep and distinct southern voice which makes for interesting texture in this hip hop tune. The visuals in the music video are exactly what one would expect from country boys who are letting loose. Bull riding, beers in the countryside next to giant pickups, and boats on the river with gorgeous southern gals who are going along for the ride all flash throughout this almost comical video. The most memorable scene is of Big Wet fiercely riding a mechanical bull on the beach.

While there have been some skeptics of this genre mixed track, it’s already reached #1 on United Stated Viral 50 chart and has over 140,000 views on YouTube. Even critics who’ve labeled the song as “odd” can’t help but say it’s also catchy. One thing is for sure, this song is 100% Hunnypot approved and we will be turning up to this on the weekend!

Don’t play with them. Let that cash talk. They got “no time for that [they] need jacksons”.

Check them out, but don’t get too surprised if you see yourself moving to the beat.
