BIO Deriving their name from the Spanish translation of “Naked Soul”, their music aims to spread a poignant message of community and social awareness through the use of what they call, “socially digestible capsules.” Upon hearing the funk-inspired rhythm section by brothers Joe Glaser (Cajon) and Tony Glaser (Upright bass) paired with the clever harmonies and dueling guitars of Chris Bryden and Paul Suhr, the listener finds themselves “feeling more connected with the world around them.” Promoting the October release of their self-released debut album Middleway, they have taken their music all over Northern California, most recently playing to an adoring, sold out crowd at Yoshi’s in San Francisco.
