Nashville based singer songwriter BabyJake brought the fun to San Francisco with a tour stop at The Independent. His tour Aren’t We Ever Gonna Be More Than Friends? named after his third LP which was released this summer has been packing venues across the US. He comments about the tour “There’s nothing more genuine to me than being on stage performing my own songs that somehow became popular enough to wrangle up a crowd, but I can’t really fathom the thought of headlining an entire North America tour… But here I am announcing an entire North America tour… So put your cowboy boots & bell bottoms on & get ready to get rowdy, cause I can’t help but ask – Aren’t We Ever Gonna Be More Than Friends?” One thing is certain you can’t deny his genuine love for performing and he gives everything he’s got to the crowd and they happily reciprocate with cheers, dancing and singing along.  The energy reverberates through the audience and quickly gains momentum with each and every song.

Excited to share the new track from Hey Violet as they sign to Hopeless Records

October 16, 2023

We are so excited to share the awesome news of Hey Violet signing to Hopeless Records. As the Los Angeles based alt pop band ushers in a new era the release of their new single, i should call my friends makes a big splash. The infectious new track will have longtime fans and new ones dancing along in no time. Vocalist Rena Lovelis shares of the Track:    “i should call my friends” is a cry to a nostalgic reminiscing of youth and the song is simultaneously calling out bad habits I (Rena) slip into sometimes, like isolating and not keeping in contact with people as much as I normally would.
