NativeAudio

Hanging with the BOYZ this past weekend and it was a blast!

Matt Yankovich, Sammy, and I connected back on the Just Friends Gusher tour and we’ve been buds since. We stay connected through the socials and anytime they’re in town, we do our best to catch up. I’ve always felt so welcomed by the group and experiences like this really make you reflect on what matters the most. The connection, the storytelling, the enjoyment of music. I mean they’re just a solid hang.

I’ve always been a huge fan of all the work and projects that they’re doing! The amount of hustle and work that my friends do behind the scenes is insane and truly inspiring. Needless to say, I left the event excited to get back and start cooking up more sounds and do even diving more into my own band projects.

These dudes are the real deal. Just a bunch of cool people doing cool stuff.

What an INSANE board 🤯

One of my favorite parts about NativeAudio is having our fam send in board shots and so I thought I’d start sharing a couple!

This comes in from Jake. He recently swooped up an In the Water after having Pattern Keeper and Rising Sun in his setup for a hot minute.

Signal path: 29>Peterson>Fairfield>TOKI>Twilight Pulse>EAE>Rising Sun>ACV-1>ADG-1>In the Water (stereo out from here)>Pattern Keeper>Bad Mood>Scattering

A huge thank you to Jake Snider and the Minus the Bear crew for welcoming us into their space this weekend! We had such a blast talking tone, technique, and explore some fun sounds on the NativeAudio pedals. All the pedals were a hit but Pattern Keeper and In the Water definitely connected with the band!

Another Indian Market in the books and what a weekend it was! 🪶✨

Always great taking time to reconnect with friends through laughs, conversation, and music. Seriously one of the best times of the year! Counting the days until next year.

Thanks to everyone who came out, bought a pedal, and told some big ole ndn stories.

Proud dad moment last night 🥹

A part of last night’s program was the River Trombley scholarship award. This is year two of my daughter River being awarded the scholarship. It’s a part of the 𝐑.𝐄.𝐀.𝐂.𝐇.’s 18-year commitment towards funding her future and planting a seed into our Indigenous youth.

A huge thank you to Stephanie and our REACH family. The work that they’re doing in our community is so inspiring and vital to our people.

My heart is full today as I reflect on my own youth and the struggles that my family faced during my childhood. To see the level of support and structure that my kids are growing up in, truly makes me feel proud as a dad. I’m so thankful and have nothing but gratitude for our community and REACH family.

And to top it all off, we closed out the night being able to experience Supaman aka Billy ills. My dad who has passed used to always jam Supaman when we’d be in the car or he’d be working on something. So I was flooded with memories during his performance and it made the night even more special.

Life truly is so good. 🤍
