Since 2012, Anna Volpe has lent her classically-trained vocal leanings to a swath of bands and soloists both on-stage and in-studio. In 2017, however, the New York City native started to wear a new hat as she shifted her focus from offering her voice to others towards exploring her own music. Anna’s music sits within the growing genre of indie-pop. She gravitates towards combining ambient soundscapes, modern synth production with emotive, folk-like lyrics. In late 2020, Anna signed with licensing/publishing company, Think Inc. and you can hear her music HBO, Freeform, Facebook Table Talk, as well as various independent films and documentaries.
Kiev born, now Colorado based singer-songwriter Marina is back with her new single ‘Why’. The follow up to previous releases ‘Sunsets And Rieslings’ and ‘Almost Love’, the new single sees the solo artist move away from her r&b-pop sound bringing a rockier edge to her material. Blending layers of guitar and piano with thumping drums, driving bass and subtle synths, ‘Why’ sees Marina capture an essence of Kelly Clarkson, reinforced with her fiercely emotive, intense vocal delivery. Speaking about the single, Marina explains: “‘Why’ is a break up song that speaks to the pain that we feel in our hearts that’s in conflict with our minds. We can always remember the moment that things changed. The moment our lover became a little distant. The moment the responses took a little longer. The day they broke a promise. The time they hurt us…with no real apology in site. These are painful reminders that deep down we knew the end was coming, but we chose to hold on anyway because that person was our world at the time.”Having already been placed across Spotify playlists and support from a number of radio stations, Marina has already established herself as one to watch. The new single will surely see her continue to rise as an exciting up and coming pop talent.
Analog Lab began as a platform/solo project for singer-songwriter Miguel Arballo to write music with various artists throughout the years. After meeting drummer/songwriter/programmer Sean McCune through live performances with several Coachella Valley performing artists, the two discovered a shared passion to make their musical ideas come to life, and decided to collaborate full-time. Analog Lab was created out of the passion to release the music inside them and explore the creative spaces in their heads. Analog Lab incorporates alternative rock, heavy metal, and folk lyrics into their sound, and are known for their energetic live shows. For nearly a decade, Miguel has performed as a stage and commercial actor, lending to him patiently honing his voice, sound, and lyrics to express his small town upbringing and troubled life experiences through his solo acoustic performances. Sean, a Coachella Valley rapper known as AEIOU, has been featured on Krystofer Do’s single, “Blame”, and has also performed with Coachella Valley rapper and guitar virtuoso, Razor J . Both members of Analog Lab have a wide history of performing with different local Coachella Valley and Imperial Valley acts, most notably with More Than Circles and Krystofer Do. The latter took both artists with him as part of his backing band to perform on the Troubadour stage on the hit YouTube series, No Cover. It was there that they each took the lessons of the experience of meeting Tosin Abasi (Animals as Leaders), Alice Cooper, Lzzy Hale (Halestorm), Gavin Rossdale (Bush), and solo artist, Bishop Briggs, and applied it to their musical journey. Their first single, “Swallow The Sun”, written in 2009 with longtime childhood friends, Gustavo and Luis Robles, explores the lyrical theme of being watched upon by society as we struggle to make the choices to shape our lives with the weight of one’s expectations upon the mind and soul.

I am a performance Entertainer. I like to put on a show and keep up the Rock -N- Roll. My songs have catchy choruses that you can hear one time and start singing along by the end of the song. I use multiple different props and outfits (all designed by me). I try to engage the audience and bring them up over the top with me. We work on producing a finely crafted show from first note to last, and I couldn’t do it out without my two great musicians and partners; Mike Crabb on guitar who stayed with me for years through other bands, and the newest member James Ferraro who crushes the drums into Oblivion. We are a Powerhouse Trio that puts on a show that can’t be reproduced.
