Cherokee Social is an Indie Pop duo that sounds like a 5 piece. The lead singer Julian Navarro started out on drums as early as 3 years old and quickly graduated to bass, vocals, guitar, and pro tools as he grew up in the Baltimore music scene. Almost being signed 3 separate times throughout his career he finally started taking off when he moved to Denver and rebranded his project from Faceless Ones to Cherokee Social. Shortly after this rebrand he picked up guitarist Alex Creighton who brought energetic guitar solos and added staged energy to the band. After a few months of playing together they sold out their first headlining show in Denver in January 2024. This trend continued as they started playing with acts like Macy Gray and Fitz and the Tantrums. In summer 2025 they embarked on a 6 week west coast tour where they explored the most beautiful places in California and Washington, making content, making fans, and eventually using the experience to inspire their first EP “The Garden”.  A collection of reverb heavy, meaning packed, hard hitting indie bangers. The months following this release have been spent preparing to release a handful of EPs and singles throughout 2026. These releases will come with a tidal wave of content and shows around the country which will stand to prove if Cherokee Social can become a household name in modern indie music.
