OBJECT HEAVY
Color Red Artist Object Heavy is Humboldt County’s hardest hitting soul sensation. The band is led by the nuanced and powerful voice of Richard Love, alongside explosive, tasteful keyboardist Brian Swislow, masterful guitarist Rich Kearns. You’ll find rock steady drummer Sam Kaplan-Good in the loop. Fresh off the release of their new record, 'Love & Gravity' (Produced by Kelly Finnigan of Monophonics), and 5th win as North Coast Journal’s “Best Original Band Of Humboldt” in the past 8 years nominated, they have garnered stellar reviews from an international audience and were promoted as a featured artist on Apple Music's Soul and RnB carousel. They were also featured on several of Apple Music's top playlists within their genre field. Object Heavy has spent the last few years establishing themselves as a stand out live experience in touring the greater western United States and sharing the stage with diverse talent such as Orgone, Galactic, The Motet, Rebirth Brass Band, Polyrhythmics, Turkuaz, Lyrics Born, and Chali 2na. Object Heavy’s magnetic blend of classic Cadillac soul, effortlessly contagious dance grooves, vocal harmonies and blazing musicianship is a must see live experience.
FAMILY MYSTIC
Family Mystic is a dynamic funk/soul jam ensemble led by four-part vocal harmonies based out of Portland, OR. Their live shows consistently provide an uplifting experience that redefines healing through song, dance, and emotional connection. These four visionary songwriters blend elements of classic funk/soul, 60’s/70’s psychedelia, a splash of progressive jazz fusion, with thoughtful four-part vocal harmonies, innovating a genre-defying experience that calls listeners deeper into the human experience through the sanctity and celebration of music.

Jam Bands
Family Mystic is a rising force in the west coast music scene led by rich four-part vocal harmonies & ecstatic grooves. Their passion for music weaves classic funk/soul, 70’s psychedelic rock, modern americana, disco, & jazz fusion into a tapestry of sound that provides an undeniably good time on the dance floor. Through storytelling, nostalgic yet innovative songcrafting, and curation of impactful gatherings, they’ve established themselves as a standout live experience on the west coast festival & venue circuit, bridging an array of communities together while they’re at it.
Over the years they’ve supported national touring acts such as Jason Hann (String Cheese Incident), Dogs in A Pile, Pink Talking Fish, Diggin Dirt, March Fourth Marching Band, Kendall Street Company & Banshee Tree to name a few. They’ve shared festival stages with Melvin Seals & JGB, Moonalice, California Honeydrops, Porangui, MaMuse, & many more greats. Family Mystic’s luminous songwriting, lush vocal harmonies, tight rhythm section, & sensational musicianship, is a must see live performance.
Their sound is fueled by the soul-stirring guitar playing of Marcelo Guitron, groove-laden keys & ethereal falsetto of Ian Love, and virtuosic musicality of Matthew Serino (bass), Tommy Serino (drums) and Todd Wason (aux drums). A band of dedicated songwriters expressing life through “feel-good” music that is both accessible & explorative. Flavors reminiscent of Jerry Garcia, Herbie Hancock, CSNY, & Michael Jackson inspire this gumbo of sound & influence that touches on a wide spectrum of the human experience.
Founded in 2019, touring the west coast since 2020 with the intention of using their musical platform to bring people together & cultivating a sense of belonging through community. What began as gathering large crowds at their infamous pop-up park shows has evolved into them making poised appearances at some of the most well known & loved festival & venue stages on the west coast like Oregon Country Fair, Cascade Equinox, Re/evolution Summerjam, and Conscious Growth Convergence. They are currently working on their 3rd studio album and preparing to expand touring routes to bring their music to as many people as possible.
“All the love you found in your whole life… It’s growing, it’s growing.”
