BLOSSOM
Blossom is an eclectic R&B jazz-singer originally from Trinidad & Tobago, but now calls Portland, OR home. She spent her childhood playing in a steel drum band with family members, and that set the tone for her taste in instruments & energy that she uses in her music today.
BENDRETHEGIANT
From Eugene, Oregon, BendreTheGiant is the vessel for songs by Ben Estrada. Originally from Portland, and with yearslong detours around the Pacific Northwest, Estrada has been recording and releasing music as a solo effort since 2020. His forthcoming EP marks the first time Estrada has brought in outside collaborators- Estrada's otherworldly arrangements have gone from largely electronic to more expansive, organic instrumentals. Software synths and filtered 808 loops have been swapped out for saxophone and drumset. Upon relocating to Eugene, Estrada reconnected with keyboardist Delos Erickson, a longtime friend who assisted in assembling a group of seasoned local players to contribute to Estrada's solo compositions.
