Jumprope  

Forged during the COVID-19 pandemic, Jumprope had time to hone their lyrics and sound during late night, front porch jam sessions before releasing it in venues across Houston and the state. Fortunately for us, they’re consistently out and about these days, playing tracks from their EP ‘Hope the Neighbors Like Jumprope,’ an homage of sorts to their early days. The band has a kind of made-from-scratch aesthetic, and, because of this, their music is relatable, as their catchy lyrics and upbeat guitar will have you singing and dancing along in no time.  

Golden Dawn Arkestra  

NPR’s Bob Boilen wrote that Golden Dawn Arkestra’s psychedelic jazz “falls somewhere between high art and a circus.” Watch one of their many videos or live performances online, and you’ll know exactly what he means. The entire band dresses in spacey, futuristic garb that resembles a delightful mix of the occult with a cult of pure joy, and their sounds, movements, and lyrics combine to put audiences in a golden, musical trance “of love, light, and tolerance.”
