Karl Denson

Singer and saxophonist Karl Denson fronts the Tiny Universe as if he’s preaching the gospel. His energy and spirit are contagious while his songwriting serves a larger message of fellowship—across generations, genders, religions and cultures. Not surprisingly, he’s none too pleased with the current state of political discourse. Thus the reason why KDTU’s new album, Gnomes & Badgers, out now on Seven Spheres Records, is Denson’s hard-grooving answer to these tragically divisive times.

Highly regarded as one of the best live acts on the planet, KDTU distills the sweeping stylistic range of its concert performances into their own authentic sound throughout the recording. With ‘Gnomes &Badgers,” the inimitable Denson and his long-standing seven piece unit that includes guitarist DJ Williams, drummer Zak Najor, bassist Chris Stillwell, keyboardist David Veith, trumpeter Chris Littlefield and slide/lap steel guitarist Seth Freeman have delivered what is undoubtedly their strongest work yet.

Along with KDTU, Denson serves as the touring saxophonist with The Rolling Stones, while continuing to hold down his role as a founding member of the seminal funk band, The Greyboy Allstars.

Omar Velasco

Singer, multi-instrumentalist and producer Omar Velasco's music draws from a broad range of influences; it pays homage to the greats of the past - like Stevie Wonder, Shuggie Otis, Joni Mitchell and Milton Nascimento - while avoiding the triviality of nostalgia. It allows the richness of music from around the world - across era and genre - to give it depth and diversity, while maintaining clarity and poignancy. It is music that is difficult to classify, yet has a familiarity that is easy to digest. Velasco's productions posses a transcendent quality which transports the listener to distant and beautiful landscapes, while the lyrics anchor the song in simple, heartfelt poetic ground.

Based in Los Angeles, Omar Velasco has toured and collaborated with artists such as Jonathan Wilson, Jim James and My Morning Jacket, Gardens and Villa and many others. As well as touring and releasing music under his own name, Velasco is part of the critically acclaimed band Amo Amo.
