ego n friends

Ego n friends is a multidimensional indie pop artist based in Denver, Colorado. Raised in San Jose, California by Indian immigrant parents, he picked up the guitar as a pre-teen and hasn’t put it down since. Growing up in a community heavily populated by other first generation Asian Americans, his musical aspirations were at odds with the rigorous academic culture around him. But his talent and drive were undeniable, and by the time he was in high school, there was no question that he had a future in music.

Heliotrope

Heliotrope is an indie rock band born from the thriving Fort Collins music scene. Inspired by packed house shows, the group met as college students and decided playing live was something they simply needed to do. After just under two years of playing together, Heliotrope wants their original music to be shared beyond local house shows. The band is growing into studio time and venue shows, and they couldn’t be more excited to share their creativity with a larger audience.

Anthony Ruptak

A Colorado-based musician who performs his original work with a simple mission: to explore the effects of the human condition. From vulnerable acoustic performances to raucous and maximalist multi-instrumental experiences, his intricate lyrics are always at the forefront. 

When he's not performing, Ruptak splits his time working as a paramedic and hiking in the backcountry, collecting sentiments and bird calls along the way.

 

“Ruptak’s songs are not dystopian; they respectfully soundtrack American suffering. He deserves a listen.”

the 89s
