SISTER SPECIES: Fronted by accordionist/songwriter Emily Kastrul (Betazoid, Hazel Ra), chamber-pop septet Sister Species is known for their thoughtful, dynamic arrangements and opulent three-part trumpet harmonies. Sister Species full length records Heavy Things Do Move and Closer Now have been hailed by music critics as warm and luminous, showcasing Kastruls vision and ability to lead 6 other band members through the chaos to something beautiful.
With a keen eye for the natural world and emotional terrain, Kastrul crafts raw and vibrant songs that are equal parts celebration and lament. Featuring the 3-part trumpet section of Jake Baldwin (Har Mar Superstar, McNasty Brass Band), Noah Ophoven-Baldwin (Percheron, Realtree) and Sten Johnson (McNasty Brass Band, New Sound Underground), guitarist Willow Waters (The Earth Tones, Still Unstill), bassist Ryan Hays (The Earth Tones, Still Unstill), and drummer Lars Johnson (McNasty Brass Band, Radiochurch), Sister Species full ensemble supports Kastruls intimate and intricate songwriting.
ROBOT SLIDE: three brothers (todd/jake/matt) get along well enough to play in a band together, so they do! with their friend liam!
THE EARTH TONES: As the ripples on the surface of the river mingle and transform the lines and reflections of our world, so Willow Waters music shapeshifts and defies categorization. Dancing lithely between rock and roll, country, old folk, and jazz; bolstered by rich, intricate, and often surprising arrangements and instrumentation, her music exhibits exhaustive precision and delightful variety. And centering this vast array of orchestration is Willows singular voice a voice that is grounding in timbre yet soaring in its revelations.
To call Willows music activist, as some might be tempted to do, would not be wrong exactly, but perhaps it would miss the mark. Or at least not paint a full enough picture. Certainly, she writes from a deeply environmentalist perspective. There are moments in her music when one feels that the voices of the trees and the waters and the skies themselves are singing. And, as a trans-femme, her music is deeply queer and trans-feminist. But, to limit our description to activist folk is a reductive mischaracterization. What Willows music achieves is remarkable: she seems to delve deep into the sacred feminine the ancient current of energy bearing all life and sings with the powerful voices that there reside. Her music is fertile and abundant. It is at times strong and steadfast as cottonwood roots, and at others light and graceful as her drifting seeds. She sometimes sings with a warm, liquid ease, and sometimes she wails and spits resistance and rebuke.
