Steve Bardwil Band, The Ideal Pedestrian, Bodhi Corbett & His Trio, Followers

Steve Bardwil Band | After decades navigating the high-stakes world of Hollywood as Chief Counsel for Walt Disney Studios, Steve Bardwil traded legal briefs for guitar riffs. Nothing But Time is a deeply personal, collaboratively-created album produced by the multi-Grammy® winner Joe Chiccarelli that blends Bardwil’s storytelling instincts with a joyful, alternative rock sensibility. With his creative compass set toward optimism and connection, Bardwils’ music avoids melancholia in favor of inspiration; crafting songs that uplift without preaching, both timeless and contemporary, echoing Bardwil’s deep respect for rock traditions while employing modern studio craftsmanship. The Steve Bardwil Band members include: Johnny Stachela (electric guitars), Max Butler (B3 organ, Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer, synthesizers and vocals), Vince Fossett (Drums, congas and percussion), Aaron Leibowitz (saxophones and flute), Frank Coglitore (bass), Catherine Jayne (vocals), Scarlet Rivera (violin) and of course Steve (acoustic guitar and lead vocals). https://stevebardwilband.com

Followers is a Los Angeles alternative rock band blending grunge and shoegaze with roots in blues and American folk, creating a raw, guitar-driven sound. Built around melodically heavy riffs, atmospheric guitars, and dynamic shifts from stripped-back passages to immersive walls of sound, their music draws from the spirit of ’90s alternative rock while keeping a grittier, more spacious edge. Their live sound emphasizes visceral energy, expressive vocals, and songs that balance melody, noise, and weight. @thebandfollowers/
