When singer-songwriter Max Janairo (they/them) performs by themself, they go by their full first name: Maximiano. For the last year and a half, Max has been writing and releasing music as part of the local band Crawlspace, during which time many songs that didn’t fit that group’s aesthetic were stored away. Since the band’s break-up, these songs have found new life and new meaning. Riding waves of indie folk orchestration, Maximiano’s plaintive voice conveys the heartbreak, love, and growth that continue to define the artist’s musical experiences. In live solo performances, Maximiano offers an intimate experience, one that lets the communal love of music overtake and renew the emotion of these songs.

RAINBOW COBRA was formed in 2022 by Oli Smith, Tommy Curtis, Sam Broadnax and Nikki Abel in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Drawing inspiration from rock n’ roll, blues, folk, and country music they seek to express the highs and lows of Midwestern and Milwaukee specific living. Oli Smith began writing the songs found on the Falcon Yard EP during the pandemic winter when things were bleak and boring. They look forward to playing shows in Milwaukee while continuing to collaboratively write and record new music.
