After billions of years of universal travel and evolution, this legion entered the form that is now seen wandering the earth singing fractal iterations into ephemeral existence. Celebrated vocalist of the year, 3 time battle of the band winner, multi-instrumentalist, and lifelong singer & songwriter, Franki has woven their penchant for poetry, presence, and passion into tales of love, home, and belonging.An exvangelist and koan-clouded bodhisattva, Franki delights in deftly nicking pieces from the mythos of western Judeo-Christian religions and braiding them into the oceanic philosophies from the Far East and India.MATT JAFFE(website / bandcamp / facebook / instagram)—After cutting his teeth on open mics around the Bay Area, San Francisco songwriter Matt Jaffe was discovered by Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads. Together, they produced his first album at the age of 16, cementing Matt's dedication to music.

Inspired by the great lineage of rock n' roll, he marries literary lyrics with the undeniable urge to dance.Matt has served as musical director for experimental theater, collaborated with poets on genre-bending spoken word, and curated residencies among fellow songwriters. Having had seizures since 2015, Matt also uses his music to unite local and national epilepsy communities. Matt has just released his sixth album, White Roses in the Snow, and is in the process of finishing its followup for release in 2023.JEFF SYMONDS(website / bandcamp / facebook / instagram)—Jeff Symonds is a Bay Area multi-instrumentalist who has shared the stage with hundreds of others and appeared on dozens of artists’ recordings.
