Color Red Artists Object Heavy is Humboldt county's hard hitting soul sensation. The band is led by the nuanced and powerful voice of Richard Love and composed of seasoned veterans of the West Coast Soul and Funk scene. Fresh off the release of their new record, 'Love & Gravity' (Produced by Kelly Finnigan of Monophonics), 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, 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. Portland's The Graduating Class modestly formed in 2018, initially the duo of multi-instrumentalist/producer John Queant and drummer Nate Hansen. Now a quintet, their membership includes Clay Eiberg on lead vocals and guitar, Keenan Dorn on guitar, and Eli Hansen on bass. The Graduating Class’ musical stylings blend modern production techniques with tonal and songwriting influences from the 1970s and 80s, and Queant serves as the lead producer on every song. A notable endorsement for the band came in 2020, when Grammy-winning mix engineer Mark Endert discovered them online and volunteered to work on their song "Girl (Like The Summertime)." They are currently working on their debut album.
