Mt. Feral Duo (21+)
As humans, we’re put on this earth with nearly limitless cosmic potential to create, to sing, to write, to share, and to help. This is why it’s the ultimate joke that most of us end up overlooking this boundless capacity in pursuit of more trivial, worldly affairs. It’s this tension that’s the core of what Mt. Feral singer/guitarist Mike Farrell calls “The Divine Mundane”-- which is also the title of his forthcoming record, due out fall 2021.The five songs can be seen as individual character studies, each contending with this idea from different angles. An artist struggles with compromising their core beliefs to achieve a lifelong dream (“Originals”). The introspective casanova reflects on the consequences of their actions (“Sommelier”). Neighborhood gentrification becomes a metaphor for memories we can’t return to (“Stringbean”). The title track kicks things off but also ties it all together-- life is never really about us as individuals, but the things we do to the people around us.TL;DR guitar-forward indie rock for fans of The Love Language, Kurt Vile, Car Seat Headrest, Brand New, Okkervil River, Deerhunter, Piebald, and Cursive.

We are bringing out the stage and giving a show!

Jason Kundrath
Jason Kundrath writes and performs with the soul of a lifelong listener and the edge of a seasoned alt-rock frontman. His journey began at age four, transfixed by Introducing… The Beatles in his aunt’s LP collection—and he’s been chasing the magic of melody ever since. As the founding member of Hero Pattern, Jason toured the East Coast and Midwest, earned radio play with the single “Monster,” and performed at CMJ, SXSW, and the Midwest Music Summit. The band’s debut LP Cut You Out blended classic rock instincts with early-2000s alt grit, earning a cult following and a Japanese release for their sophomore effort. After a hiatus to start a family, Jason returned with The Good Silver, recording a Tom Petty cover for Mint 400’s Don’t Fade on Me tribute album. These days, he’s crafting intimate solo sets, reimagining favorite covers, and finishing new original material for a 2026 release. Whether on stage or in the studio, Jason brings a deep reverence for songcraft and a voice shaped by decades of listening, writing, and living.

The Successful Failures (21+)
“The first thing you should know about The Successful Failures is that any attempt to plug them into one genre or another is very much a fool’s errand. Hailing from Trenton, N.J., the band deftly combines Americana, Pop, Rock, and enough of a dusting of Bluegrass that serves as an appetizer to the main course without overwhelming the entire meal.” – July 2020, Rock is the New Roll
