Altaphonic

Altaphonic is a Denver, CO based band that fuses soul, rock, funk and yacht rock styles to create a vibrant and eclectic sound offering listeners a fresh and surprising experience. We believe in delivering a sound that is heartfelt and groove oriented to create an atmosphere where people can both dance and reflect, experiencing the full spectrum of human emotions through our music.

Altaphonic was founded by childhood friends Cole Michel and Joel Meyerson who have been performing and playing music from an early age, albeit never with one another in the same band. This finally changed when both heard the tight drumming of Darcy Shaw. Cole had a catalogue of songs waiting for the right personnel to be assembled and so it was assembled when co-bandmate and bass man Blair Hicks (Ghost Revue) and the soulful Vox of Christin Whitener rounded out the mix.  Bonded by the undeniable charm of Motown, Stax, and Atlantic soul and jazz records and modern day indie rock groups, Altaphonic was established in 2024.
