N3PTUNE was born from the mud. Hailing from Denver, CO, he cut his teeth in a broken home and sang in the Baptist church. N3PTUNE dug himself out with the sheer magnitude of his musical gifts becoming an explosive multi-hyphenate in the process.
N3PTUNE radically merges the gospel and blues he was raised on with the theatrical pop and showmanship of the icons of his upbringing, and the electronic current of the clubs he danced in, to create a musical experience unlike any other. His live performances are akin to a religious experience—commanding and transformative, wherein his entire body is a vessel speaking to the culture as a queer Black artist standing on business, giving strength to the marginalized and the underdogs with anthems like “Black Horse” and “White Pony.”
N3PTUNE’s journey has taken him far and wide. He’s shared stages with the likes of Wyclef Jean, Qveen Herby, Sleigh Bells and others, while also hitting major festivals across the country like Electric Forest and Capitol Hill Block Party.
With his sights on his long-awaited debut album set to arrive soon, N3PTUNE is ready to get his hands dirty.
Denver-based ‘60s rock revivalists The Mañanas formed in 2019 when lead singer and guitarist Brandon Unpingco befriended producer and drummer Danny Pauta. The duo quickly began turning heads in Denver, bringing a compelling multicultural perspective to the local rock and roll scene.
The Mañanas’ lively melodies and sunny instrumentals are underscored by a cryptic lyrical sensitivity. It is this exchange between language and sound that threads together the band’s dynamic repertoire, which includes doo-wop, power pop, surf rock, latin and indie garage rock. Their uncompromising DIY approach has led them to open for acts such as Thee Sacred Souls, The Lemon Twigs, Black Lips, The Damned and more.
Following their debut EP “Cheers” (2021) and album “3000” (2023), The Mañanas are set to release their third album in the fall of 2026. The band will be entering this next evolution with the addition of bassist Jessica Pulido and guitarist Eliza Neiman-Golden.
When Kit DesLauriers skied Mt. Everest in 2006, she became the first person in the world to ski the Seven Summits, meaning she skied from the summit of the highest mountain on each of the seven continents. Beyond the Seven Summits, Kit has climbed and skied first descents in Alaska’s Brooks Range, including its highest peak, won back-to-back World Freeskiing Championships, and was named as a National Geographic Adventurer of the Year for merging science and ski mountaineering on a 2014 mapping expedition to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Most recently, Kit was elected into the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame’s Class of 2019.
