This year was a true revelation regarding the namesake of our favorite festival. We received the #Electric in Electric Forest, deterring our closing set of the festival (among other sets for several bandmates). However, where there was rain, relationships blossomed. Huddled together under the fresh timber of the newly constructed @grandartique we laughed and engaged in what was truly a family affair. When the hang compares to the play, you know you’re surrounded by amazing humans! @burkeyloveslife @dsou1 @tomcattrumpet @kaimera.sky @fallingflowerarts @fovndmusic @shanehallofficial @mikejwoodward Plz enjoy the contagious vibes and video editing from our homie @iiimpulsiveee from our Friday night set. We were fully activated and appreciated the crowds energy to the fullest! Rained out at @electric_forest at @grandartique stage making lemonade with @honeycomb & @dirtwire @evaneverythang For anyone that’s been following this project, you know this is what’s it’s always been about. I felt like I introduced my daughter to the world, and they saw her for the wondrous being she is. #futurergp We are off to @electric_forest ! Wanted to thank the @grandartique for the continued support, and for recognizing the other band members in their individual projects as well, All of our endeavors on the last slide! @tomcattrumpet (Rgp) crushes with his crew TH, come catch them!! Up Friday after our RGP set, Burkey will be spitting in with w/ LSD @leagueofsounddisciples (Jason Hann) and also hits Saturday with a special surprise sit in! @shanehallofficial and @mikejwoodward bring their @coupedvlle on both Saturday and Sunday. And most dear-to-my-experience, my daughter #Kiyoka will perform 10minutes while singing and playing guitar on both Friday and Sunday. Sunday evening is truly a family affair with Coup, then Kiyo, then Shane (Dirtwire Mark’s 13yr old), then @dirtwire then #RGP. #forestfam #rgp #redgiantproject Wanted to highlight and shout out all the amazing contributors from our @texas_eclipse performance, hoping you’ll follow them on their respective journey’s. In no particular order : Slide 1: world renowned fluid, liquid pop-lock, slide, groove and smile master @dsou1 Slide 2: me, @burkeyloveslife on the mic, yo! Slide 3: our tenor saxophone 🐐 for always and for forever - leader of the RGP horns, THE @saxophonist.johnavery Slide 4: one of our often unsung hero’s, Swiss Army knife on saxophone and anything you throw at him, @nathanbutgame_i Slide 5: my rt hand man on the mic, vocals as big as Everest @shanehallofficial Slide 6: the kid, trumpet sensation and overall vibe master @tomcattrumpet Slide 7: majestic, mysterious, the alluring fire muse @phoenix.fireflow Slide 8: our dance floor leader, best choreographer/performer and movement specialist in all the world @kaimera.sky Slide 9: the man with the rhythm in his blood, on drums @mikejwoodward Slide 10: the most important part of the RGP show, the crowd. Thank you for giving us the energy with which to perform, your part in our show will never be taken for granted! Thank you @speyerphoto for the great captures #redgiantproject #rgp #texaseclipsefestival2024 @bosa @matthewmadonnahey and I have been friends long enough for each of us to change band names, find partners, have children, move cities, lose weight (gain weight), collaborate on dozens of tunes, travel the world, and over a decade later, we are better friends than we started! Very excited to drop our latest collabo with one of our best friends. Southside available everywhere on Friday! -Burkey Art by @gianniutah ((who is also one of our besties)) Link in BiO It is and always shall be a Fam affair. #rgp #bosa #redgiantproject So looking forward to the release of this collaborative EP we made with @ebehrens aka Erin. The first song, “Can’t Be Like The Others” features soft, delicate vocals that mark her unique style and poignancy of lyrical prowess. We forayed into the Lofi jazz and bass aspects of Matt’s sound design, joined by @saxophonist.johnavery and @tahreimusic for some sax/flute lullaby. The second song, “When I Hear Your Voice” was a musical journey which began simply enough. @matthewmadonnahey had played some chords once upon a solo session, and while he was away from the stude and I was digging through his files I found them & proceeded to lay some harmonic oooo ahhh and ayes. I sent it to Erin and she lended her beauty, then @shanehallofficial picked it up a notch. Then I thought Kiyoka would sound good singing John’s horn line. Then I sent it to @treacesss who said, I got an idea for the ending. It was a crazy creative collaboration, one that truly echos the conceptual intention of the project. Entirely excited to share it with the world! Big ups, gratitude and respect to the team over at @highviberecords and @equanimouslove for help with the release. Tune in tomorrow & presave link in BIO-help us get the algorithm engaged! Getting very excited to perform this Saturday late late night at 3:30am (technically Sunday morning) on the Earth Stage at @texas_eclipse festival! I played the Oregon Eclipse with my other band @vokabkompany back in 2017 and it was a once in a lifetime event, can’t believe I get it for a second time! Truly grateful for the opportunity to see perhaps the best musical festival line up, production and intention I’ve ever experienced….again! To warm up your pallet for some #rgp #redgiantproject we decided to drop a video from our set at the fantastic @lucidityfestival last year. The Lucidty fam is the best, please join them as well fr June 28-30 at Live Oak, SB. Extra thanks to: @thorgodofbass with the video shots @sixdegreescreative with the edit @saxophonist.johnavery saxophone @wilismash trombone @matthewmadonnahey production @mr.j_adams trumpet @shanehallofficial @burkeyloveslife @nathanbutgame_i Bari For crushing the performance in the video! Song by @karldensonstinyuniverse x @goodsex x @redgiantproject x @bigfreedia Another successful trip around the sun commemorated by a dope studio session w the homies! @matthewmadonnahey @burkeyloveslife @karldensonstinyuniverse @saxophonist.johnavery #rgp #redgiantproject #kdtu
