LEFT ON TENTH
Left on Tenth is a 6-piece band that plays their own combination of Rock ‘N Roll, Soul, Ska, Reggae, and Latin music. The ensemble spent their formative days in the dimly-lit basement bars of Bozeman, MT in 2015-2018. Gaining ground with their sound, LoT hit the road in the summer of 2018 for a 50-day tour across the American West performing at venues in MT, WA, OR, CA, AZ, UT, ID, CO, and WY. Recognized for their sonic sensations and ecstatic energy, the band has performed for companies such as the North Face, Outbound Collective, and Vail Resorts.
Following the tour, the band began recording a multitude of tracks in their garage and homes producing DIY-type records. Their first single Shadowgator released on a plethora of music outlets including Spotify in late 2019 and their first full-length album Live @ Colonel Blacks in mid-2020. During the summer of 2020 the group relocated to Portland, OR. Through their time in Portland the group has honed in on a variety of artistic avenues including new YouTube videos, Twitch streaming live music, a new Spotify album, and busking at various locations across the city including Cathedral Park on Friday evenings during the summer.
SOOTH
"Metaphysical Neo-Folk Rock For The Cynics, The Sweet Souls, and Everyone In Between!"
Sooth is the surreal sonic journey of Portland-dweller TJ Smith, exploring the inherent complexities within this absurd and beautiful life. Alongside his new live band "The Sweet Souls", Smith shares a celebratory story of vulnerability, liberation, and connection; The Cosmic Joke where we all laugh together; Warm summer sunlight; Grief and joy; Suffering and contentment. It all belongs here, and so do you. Welcome, traveler.
Sooth's unique musical stylings meander all across the genre-map, always staying one step ahead of mundane mimicry of another band's sound. However, certain moments in the Sooth discography may remind listeners of bands such as Arcade Fire, Bruce Springsteen, Cold War Kids, Cat Stevens, The Killers, Surfer Blood, Bright Eyes, Fruit Bats, Bob Dylan, Deer Tick, The Strokes, Beatles, Dr. Dog, Dawes, Born Ruffians, Joni Mitchell, The Vaccines, Spoon, and others of this ilk.
When one foot is planted firmly in the americana folk music tradition of heart-on-sleeve ballads and vivid story songs, and the other foot is boot-scootin' away with catchy indie-pop refrains and jangly garage-rock riffs, this makes for a joyfully bizarre and furiously funky toe-tapping boogie. And that's the groove of Sooth. So grab your dancing shoes, and join the party!
"Original Sin" is the bright, rip-roaring lead single on the adventurous, yet contemplative full length record Mystic Mirror (August, 2022). Affectionately referred to as Sooth's 'true debut', this album (recorded at Forty-One Fifteen Studio in Nashville, TN, and co-produced by Homero Ruiz), marks an evolutionary step in the singer-storyteller's journey. It's a focused distillation of Sooth's signature brand of earnest indie folk rock, alongside a maturation of the boldly eclectic, uniquely cerebral songwriting that listeners have come to know and love.
