 The Chicago-based quintet fuses together soulful grooves, dense vocal harmonies, and high energy guitar solos that roar through venues. Five long-time friends have come together to create a sound that’s been called ‘where Steely Dan meets The Allman Brothers meets Wilco…. with a dab of Pet Sounds.’ Because the whole group sings and composes, they have created a genre that is truly their own. The band’s live show was translated brilliantly to their self-titled debut record. But to fully experience the dynamic range, the roaring guitar solos, intricate songwriting, and beautiful vocal harmonies, you must see Stampy perform live. 

Low Spark, they're called... A relentlessly grooving musical force based out of Chicago, IL. Drawing from a wide range of influences, they deliver a contemporary fusion of sound characterized by melodic hooks, deep funk tones and extended high-energy solos. Known for their collaborative spirit and electrifying live performances, Low Spark is breaking boundaries as a highly original, progressive act.  Low Spark has shared bills with the likes of Bernie Worrell Orchestra, Robert Walter, The Main Squeeze, TAUK, New Sound Underground, Marcus Rezak, Chris Bullock, Blackalicious, Monophonics, Euforchestra, Gene Ween, and many others.

 The tenderbros are Paul Roots, Evan DePue, and Michael Kostal. You may recognize these names from Chicago bands Smoker, Pet Peeve, More Killer, All Things Lucid, and Gladell. The trio aims to tenderize your mind by savoring the juicy grooves until properly digested. While some of their songs have developed forms, at the core is the freedom of improvisation. They are not limited by genre but there are healthy servings of rock, funk, and world music in their instrumentals.
