CHEROKEE SOCIAL

Cherokee Social is an Indie Pop duo that sounds like a 5 piece. The lead singer Julian Navarro started out on drums as early as 3 years old and quickly graduated to bass, vocals, guitar, and pro tools as he grew up in the Baltimore music scene. Almost being signed 3 separate times throughout his career he finally started taking off when he moved to Denver and rebranded his project from Faceless Ones to Cherokee Social. Shortly after this rebrand he picked up guitarist Alex Creighton who brought energetic guitar solos and added staged energy to the band. After a few months of playing together they sold out their first headlining show in Denver in January 2024. This trend continued as they started playing with acts like Macy Gray and Fitz and the Tantrums. In summer 2025 they embarked on a 6 week west coast tour where they explored the most beautiful places in California and Washington, making content, making fans, and eventually using the experience to inspire their first EP “The Garden”. A collection of reverb heavy, meaning packed, hard hitting indie bangers. The months following this release have been spent preparing to release a handful of EPs and singles throughout 2026. These releases will come with a tidal wave of content and shows around the country which will stand to prove if Cherokee Social can become a household name in modern indie music.

STOVETOP GEMINI

Stovetop Gemini is a high-energy Alternative Rock band based in Denver, Colorado, known for an electrifying blend of blues, alternative, psych, and hard rock & roll. They describe their sound as “juicy, tangy, and spicy- think if Benson Boone met Psychedelic Porn Crumpets at a Black Keys concert.”

Stovetop Gemini writes their music in a collaborative and organic way between live jams in their rehearsal studio and writing sessions in Alexander’s home recording studio. Alexander is the theory wiz and producer- having studied at Berklee College of Music he has astounding knowledge of theory, songwriting, and production as well as a dome filled with nasty guitar licks. Mick is the vocal guy and “fun sound” guy- he hears the different directions songs can go, sounds that can be incorporated within the music, and writes lyrics and melodies that amplify the feel. Spence is the rhythm master- with a background in a variety of genres including rock, pop, hip hop, and soul he adds a tasteful palette of grooves to their music. Gavin is the bass master- drawing on artists like Tool, Nine Inch Nails, and Deftones he has a knack for blending fat bass lines creating complex progressions with finesse. It’s the collaboration of all 4 members, love for music, and a relentless hustle to make their mark that has forged Stovetop Gemini’s unique sound.

Since forming in 2024, Alexander Hammes (Berklee drop out), Michael Pittman (recovering addict), Gavin Varner (alcoholic), and Spencer Dickey (the church drummer) have built momentum through sweat-heavy live shows and the release of numerous original songs as well as the release of their debut EP, Karyo. In the past year SG has supported many up and coming artists such as Marlon Funaki, Evening Elephants, Tommy Newport, Radium Dolls, Nether Hour, and Danno Simpson- a testament to the variety of audiences they attract. They’re carving a path through the underground with a sound that hits hard but stays weird- they’re community-focused, genre-fluid, hard rockin’, and aim to create a space where all feel at home and free to express their weird selves.

In their free time you can find SG at your local Panda Express, Taco Bell, or spending all their money at Guitar Center.
