Jeff Garber is a versatile singer‑songwriter and composer whose musical journey stretches from indie‑rock roots to TV soundtracks. In the ‘90s, he led the Champaign‑Urbana group Castor, known for shifting time signatures with effortless flow (Castor, Tracking Sounds Alone).

He later fronted National Skyline and Year of the Rabbit, showcasing his range across shoegaze, post‑punk, and alt‑rock.

These days, Garber’s focus has shifted toward composition—he scores for Netflix hits like Virgin River and Full Swing, plus other series including Nancy Drew, Pretty Smart, and The Company You Keep. His trailer work includes music for Marvel’s Daredevil and Disney+ content.

From underground indie to streaming soundtracks, Jeff Garber continues to evolve—crafting music that’s both emotionally honest and sonically adventurous.

Dauzat St. Marie—that’s dō-zaht saynt mah-ree—the husband-and-wife duo of Mat Dauzat and Heather St. Marie can strip a song to its bare bones and still hit you right in the heart.

They started out in the alt-rock-leaning Hydrovibe, but traded the volume wars for something sharper: acoustic-forward, harmony-rich, folk-Americana with a backbone. Their debut EP Falling Again set the tone—grit, heart, and zero filler—and they’ve been relentless road warriors ever since, sharing stages with Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo, Rick Springfield, The Marshall Tucker Band, and Schuyler Fisk.

Along the way, they’ve had viral success, deeply personal triumphs, and globe-spanning side gigs—Mat with Seal and The Buggles, Heather turning her breast cancer recovery into an anthem for the American Cancer Society. With new music like “Burn” and their soulful cover of Seal’s “Crazy,” Dauzat St. Marie continues to make music for midnight highways, small rooms, and the moments you need a voice—or two—in your corner.

This is our conversation with Heather and Mat of Dauzat St. Marie.

In addition to being an actress, Schuyler Fisk (pronounced Skylar) is a noted singer/songwriter.

From the beginning, she has marched to the beat of her own drummer, carving a low-friction, roots-pop path that favors sincerity over flash and homegrown hustle over industry hype.

After signing with Universal Records and experiencing a bit of major-label chin-channery, Fisk trusted her gut and asked to be released from her contract to pursue an independent path.

Schuyler recently stopped by Thunderlove Studio to talk about that independent path, and this is our conversation.
