SunCHower Bio Life got ya down? Me too. Music might help but probably not for long. Sun Chower Collective is like a self help book it's guaranteed* to make your life a little better for a short amount of time before terminal discontentment sets back in. Enjoy a reprieve while you still can. *guarantee only works if you have an open mind and if you like denormalized sounds, some non-mathy odd times, and positive attitudes.

Sun Chower Collective is a culmination of working drummer Casey Hadland's experience, insights and frustrations with music. His inspirations draw from Jazz, Punk, RnB, Rap, Blues, Dad Rock and CCM. Casey is always changing the lineup featuring different friends, new music and new arrangements so if it feels like they're on the edge of their seats it's because they are. Every show is made to be a unique experience for not just the listener but the musicians as well.

Space Travelers Union – a collective founded by Ryan Wheless dedicated to pushing the boundaries of
acoustic and electronic fusion.

Influenced by the likes of Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Robert Glasper, Yussef Dayes, and Toro y Moi, the launch of the new project has quickly made its mark, catching the attention of key industry figures. Jamie Reynolds of The Klaxons has already pledged his allegiance, stating, "If the union does exist, I'm joining it."

Geordie Greep from black midi offered his own praise, adding, "It's always nice to listen to good musicians."

Touring alongside legends like Echo and the Bunnymen, as well as rising stars Glass Beams and BALTHVS, shows the collective's momentum has no signs of slowing. Radio heavyweights were quick to rally behind the music, with Tom Ravenscroft, Deb Grant, and Emily Pilbeam singing their praises on BBC 6 Music. Across the channel, major French players FIP and France Musique have also shown strong support, amplifying their sound across the airwaves.

Alassane Diarra is a songwriter, vocalist, and keyboardist currently based in Tucson. His roots can be found in a wide array of music from progressive-jazz to art rock. Influenced by artists such as
Radiohead, Kneebody, and David Bowie, Alassane's soft vocals and introspective lyrics create a gripping contrast against the captivating arrangements within his music.

Along his career, Alassane has shared the stage with many notable musicians, such as Jenny Lewis on Harry Styles' "Love on Tour," and Courtney Marie Andrews on her NPR Tiny Desk Concert. His
song "Moot Points" is a collaboration featuring the two influential jazz musicians, Rachel Eckroth (St. Vincent) and Tim Lefebvre (David Bowie).
