Brahctopus is a space-rock collective playing originals and covers from many genres including jam-rock, reggae, psychedelic and funk. The debut album, Mothership, was released to all major streaming outlets in February 2019. The album release party took place at the Buhl Planetarium of the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh, PA with a live performance and accompanying laser show. Tickets to this event sold out in less than an hour! Since then, the band has released 4 singles, performed live on WDVE and streamed a quarantine set with much more content in the works. Brahctopus also hosts a small festival, GareFest, outside of Pittsburgh with some of the region's best up and coming bands and artists. This helps continue to build outstanding relationships with many groups, organizations, venues and fans.

Formed in late 2017, The Sun Champs, a Pittsburgh-based funk rock band began crafting a unique sound which incorporated rock, funk, blues, jazz, and latin influences. The band consists of blues-rock guitar connoisseur Randall Penn on vocals and guitar, multi-instrumentalist Michael Cerveris on guitar and keys, master jazz enthusiast Gerald Homme on the alto, tenor, and soprano saxophones, and the funk-gospel rhythmic juggernaut pairing of Ryan Black on bass guitar and Jordan Allen on drums.
Made up of members with various musical backgrounds, The Sun Champs focused their mission on writing and performing their own musical compositions and constantly challenging their own ideas in order to create a seamless live show, which has been described as a thrilling multi-genre jam session.
In June 2019, The Sun Champs independently produced and released their first self-titled EP and brought their live show to more Pittsburgh audiences with a resounding and welcoming response. In 2020, the band has equipped themselves with even more inspiring jams and began recording their first full-length album.
