SILVERADA
Evolution. It's what keeps the best bands afloat — song after song, show after show,  record after record.  

Mike Harmeier was still in his early 20s when he formed Mike and the Moonpies. From  the start, they were the definition of a workingman's country band, cutting their teeth  with five-hour sets on Austin's dancehall circuit before spreading their music to the rest  of America. By the early 2020s, they'd become global ambassadors of homegrown  Texas music, flying their flag everywhere from Abbey Road Studios (where they  recorded 2019's Cheap Silver & Solid Country Gold with help from the London  Symphony Orchestra) to the Grand Ole Opry. 

The growth was remarkable, but all that momentum left Harmeier and his four  bandmates — drummer Taylor Englert, guitarist Catlin Rutherford, bassist Omar  Oyoque, and steel guitarist Zachary Moulton — looking for something new. After all,  their music had decidedly changed. Why shouldn't their name do the same?  

Silverada marks a new chapter in the band's history. It's not just the title of the boldest  release of the group's critically-acclaimed career; it's also the name of the reinvigorated  band itself. 

TODD DAY WAIT
Todd Day Wait is one of the last real American Workhorse, pedal to the metal, Troubadours by way of Missouri, to California, to New Orleans and now Nashville. The original material of Todd Day Wait, is highly influenced by early American folk, country and blues music from the 1920's through the 1960's, embodying the spirit and authenticity of traditional American music.

Todd Day Wait, whomst you may have heard of from his millions of spins on GemsOnVHS or WesternAF writes and performs his own style of timeless country music. Harking back to Jimmie Rodgers, Willie Nelson, Wynn Stewart and Kris Kristofferson he keeps the spirit of country music alive. In 2009 he put all his earthly belongings on the curb and hit the road, in his diesel shuttle bus fueled by vegetable oil, for a never ending tour. From busking the streets of New Orleans, to playing in the shadow of European castles, to lighting up the honky-tonk dance floors in Nashville, Todd keeps it 60/50.
