The foundation of their music is surf, but from there they add layers of exotica, spy, psychedelic rock, metal, alternative, and even jazz (thanks to vibes player Thomas Mattioli) for sonic creations that can be described best by just looking at...

Meet The Seavers is perhaps the most unique musical act in NE Wisconsin and the bio on their website states They don't fit in and they like it that way.

That friendly vibe you catch off of his songs is authentic. He's exci...
Kirstie Kraus might be firmly entrenched in the Nashville scene, but she hasn't forgotten her Wisconsin roots.
