**Mars FM** **with circling girl and Big Childhood** Zack Bauer and Zoe Danille Larsen formed Mars FM in Durango, Colorado in 2020. It began as their radio show on KDUR where they played records backwards and recited 'jazz recipes'. In a state of delirium during their midnight to 3am slot, they decided to form a band. Thus began their musical exploration. Mars FM's most recent release, Under Your Branches, has a softer, more reflective tone than their previous album. Zack and Zoe, along with multi-instrumentalist Eli Wheeler, poured themselves into ten deeply heart-centered songs over the course of ten days following the loss of Zoe’s grandparents. They recorded the album live aside from vocals, which were recorded in the wee hours of morning in a closet dimly lit by salt lamps and candles. It is an album of grief, of love, of mystery, and of acceptance. There are currently three people in Mars FM. The three people are Zack Bauer (guitar, vocals, pedal steel) Zoe Larsen (vocals, bass, harmonium) and Eli Wheeler (drums). **Doors at 7:30, show at 8:30** **$12 adv/$15 dos + fees** Presented by Skylark Lounge.
