Northern California–based singer/songwriter John Brazell has been writing, recording, and performing for the better part of the last decade. With two studio EPs and two full-length albums — Restless Heart (2013) and Becoming (2023) — John has honed his unique perspective and sound as the joyful troubadour he is. Whether it’s a romantic ballad or an ode to the simple pleasures in life, such as his recent releases Peaches (2020) and Somebody Like You (2025), John brings a catchy and fresh spirit to his melodies and lyrics that stays with you long after the song ends.

Mr and Mrs Something: mrandmrssomething.com

Benjamin “Bino” Peck, AKA Mr Something, embodies tension. Dissonance and harmony, life and death, heartbreak and hope, his San Diego roots and his Seattle home, the present moment and eternity, limiting circumstances and big dreams—these make up just some of the tensions that resonate throughout his music.
After releasing two studio albums and touring full-time as Mr & Mrs Something for the latter half of the 2010s, music took a back seat in 2021 due to Mrs Something’s ongoing battle with cancer. Mr Something continues to support his wife and daughter while weaving the soulful passion of blues and rock with the honesty of folk, offering a refreshing taste of hope that feels like coming home.
