(As Creative Loafing writes “(Kristopher) who is a kindred musical spirit to artists like Gavin DeGraw and Amos Lee, vocals are perfectly reigned in and his easy gift for melody is unrivaled…Kristopher is perhaps the most interesting musician on the scene”.
Kristopher continues to captivate audiences throughout the South East, with his songs and stories, touring with his band in theaters and club venues, as well as supplying direct support for acts such as First Aid Kit, Marc Broussard, Ryan David Harris, Morgan James and Maggie Rose! Sharing bills with The Temptations, Anderson East, The Revivalists, Black Puma sand Mavis Staples. Additionally, in 2023, Kristopher and his band were personally invited by The Beach Boys founding member, Mike Love, to perform on The Beach Boys Cruise.
With his debut album “Kindness Never Quits”, (2019) featuring members of Scary Pockets, Kristopher caught the attention of Relix & Glide Magazine, Spotify Playlist curators and continued praise, such as “vocals are so powerful and as the song progresses, he showcases why he is one of the best singers out there. All that soul in one artist is just unbelievable” from Reignland Magazine – and continued to garner praise from music contributors like B-Sides & Badlands, Adobe & Teardrops, Bristol Funk and many others, for his following singles “Never Had To Find Our Way” (ft. Max Brown of The War & Treaty), “Feelings” and his 2023 release “I Can Only Love You in a Song”.
The year to come promises a continued chapter of pen to paper and picks to strings, as Kristopher and his band embark on a sophomore album that puts Kristopher’s breadth of music ability, on display.
Melodime + The Talbott Brothers – The Rock Boat XX Pre-Party – Miami – 1/22/20
Heroes Live Entertainment presents Melodime + The Talbott Brothers @ The Ground at Club Space in Miami. Join us before setting sail on The Rock Boat XX departing Miami!
Melodime is a Virginia-based band with influences in both country and rock that features emotionally charged anthems, piano driven hooks, and energetic guitar solos for a dynamic, organic sound.
Melodime, featuring Brad Rhodes (lead vocals, guitar), Sammy Duis (piano, organ, bass), Tyler Duis (drums), and Jon Wiley (guitar, mandolin, dobro), has performed over 100+ shows annually throughout the continental United States, sharing the stage with such well-known acts as Sam Hunt, Eli Young Band, A Thousand Horses, and Sister Hazel.
The band has also left its mark internationally with performances in Mexico, Canada, and Europe, all while founding and running a charity, ‘Now I Play Along Too,’ which provides musical instruments and lessons to underprivileged children in the DC area, Florida, Nepal, Kenya, and Haiti.
The band is quickly becoming a fan-favorite in the festival scene, playing five consecutive Rock Boat cruises, as well as Musikfest, Herndon Festival, Mile of Music, and other events. In their hometown of Northern Virginia, the group has performed at popular venues such as The State Theatre, 9:30 Club, The Hamilton, and Baltimore Soundstage.
The Talbott Brothers are a product of America’s heartland. Though currently based in Portland, Oregon, the duo grew up in Imperial, Nebraska, with a population just eking over 2,000. As indie-folk-rock musicians, Nick and Tyler Talbott, are somewhat of an anomaly, originating from a place where farming or ranching are the more typical career paths. Their honest songwriting is not only a breath of fresh air, but collections of down-to-earth messages that prove to be prevalent in today’s world.
Ghost Talker is the second full-length studio album from the sibling duo. Blood harmonies and sibling rivalry are evident in their songwriting with lyrics pulling from the trials of everyday life and the questions we all face. “Everyone has ghosts, whether they talk about them or not. We wanted to take off the mask and be honest with this record, hoping that what we needed to say is what people needed to hear.”
At its core, the album is transformative in nature, prompting the listener to question motives, face realities, and go to war with their own ghosts. Spiritual apprehension and seeking answers are common themes. “Shadowboxing” is a hard look in the mirror, realizing that what you have been fighting all along is your own fear. “It takes one good fight to turn things around.”
Lead single, “Run No More” forces a look at the past while offering a soul shaking guitar solo that feels like a rally cry. “We tried running for a long time but it doesn’t do a heart any good. Sometimes in a wake-up call you realize what’s most important to you. “Run No More” is about when your legs give out and you gotta turn around and fight.”
Drawing influence from John Mayer, Kaleo and Mumford & Sons, Ghost Talker will challenge your built-in world view and push you to embrace the unknown. No strangers to the road, The Talbott Brothers will be touring across the US, supporting the album release this fall 2019.
