BANDS
Three Mile Theory
Based out of Orem, UT; Three Mile Theory is an innovative powerhouse quickly emerging out of Provo’s indie/rock scene. Deriving root inspirations from pop-punk icons such as Paramore and Fall Out Boy alongside influences from local legends such as Imagine Dragons and The Backseat Lovers, Three Mile Theory stakes their claim with their own unique sound.
Started by childhood friends Julian Mitton (lead guitarist) and Kaden Migliori (bassist), Three Mile Theory has drawn sizable crowds to their debut shows in Provo, Utah thanks to the ingenuity of the other members of the band Micah Thompson (vocalist) and Spencer Funk (rhythm guitarist/producer).
Within the first 6 months of the bands inception, the group has released their first single “Running From What’s Mine” and look forward to releasing their first EP in late 2024.”
Garden Groove Collect
Introducing the Garden Groove Collective (GGC) -- a vibrant blend of rock, jazz, with soulful vocals. Formed in early 2023 in Highland, Utah, the GGC quickly made their mark, debuting in April of the same year. Led by their charismatic vocalist, Brooke, and supported by a talented ensemble on bass, piano/synth, drums, and guitar, the GGC crafts a captivating sound that defies easy categorization. With influences ranging from rock to jazz to hip hop, their performances offer a rich sonic experience, inviting listeners on a musical journey filled with lush harmonies and infectious rhythms.

Aerides is a fusion of local talent, featuring Alex Ford on keys and vocals, Ricky Arballo on vocals and rhythm guitar, Kyle Nadauld on lead guitar, Hunter Kooring on drums, and McLaren Payne on bass guitar.
