Phyphr is creating a buzz with his unique blend of electro-soul and funky electronic songwriting. Merging live guitar performances with electronic production, Phyphr brings a vibrant mix of instrumentation and original vocals to the forefront. His musical journey has led him to share stages with renowned acts such as The Floozies, Daily Bread, Manic Focus,
SoDown, SunSquabi, and Maddy O’Neal.
Originally from the east coast and now a Denver resident, Phyphr is adding his own twistto the Mile High City’s electronic sound. His dynamic performances have graced festivals including Summer Camp, Cascade Equinox, Hulaween, Gem & Jam, Dreamscape, and Sonic Bloom. Phyphr's impact has been recognized by various publications, including 303
Magazine, River Beats Dance, Electric Hawk, This Song Is Sick, EDMTunes, and T.H.E Music Essentials.
Pulling threads from dance music, funk, hip-hop, jazz, and beyond, 5AM Trio blurs the lines between electronic production and live instrumental improvisation. What began as producer/keyboardist 5AM’s vision to merge high-fidelity electronic sound design with the spontaneity of a band has evolved into a powerhouse ensemble featuring the dextrous drumming of Aaron Harel (ZONE Drums) and the guitar wizardry of Keith Wadsworth (Wax Future). Their shows hit with club-level sonic precision while delivering the fire and interplay of a full-on jam session.
The Trio’s genre-defying sets have lit up major stages from Red Rocks to Sonic Bloom, Elements, Summerdance, Resonate, and Secret Dreams, sharing bills with innovators like Papadosio, CloZee, Opiuo, Lab Group, Break Science, Lotus, and Tiedye Ky. But beyond the festivals and flashing lights, 5AM Trio thrives on human connection. They celebrate community—shouting out connection and sobriety,, donating a portion of every shows’ revenue to tree-planting efforts, and encouraging audiences to create their own art in any form.
With a combination of r&b/psychedelic soul vocals, keyboards, saxophones, and eclectic instrumentation, McWavy’s live performance enchants audiences by connecting on an emotional level through colorful layers and genuine lyrics. Often compared to Tash Sultana and FKJ, McWavy has a unique sound that is brought to life from real experiences and felt in the truth of her words. You can expect the unexpected from this particular underdog, you never know what surprise is coming next!
McWavy has shared the stage with a broad range of national/global acts such as: GRiZ, CloZee, Daily Bread, The Floozies, Michal Menert, Pretty Lights, Vincent Antone, Break Science, CARRtoons, BadSnacks, Late Night Radio, Manic Focus, Tripp St, SoDown, Anomalie, Freddy Todd, Exmag, Artifakts, The Russ Liquid Test, Jason Leech (tour), Honeycomb, Josh Teed (tour), Marcus King, and Marvel Years.
