Catch our live showcase on YouTube
Our live showcase at The Historic Home of Little Mountain Sound is now available to stream on YouTube.

Notable artists who have recorded at MLA include Bryan Adams, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi and Metallica. The Historic Home of Little Mountain Sound is also the home of Nimbus Satellite Campus and remains a creative space for artists today.
The showcase includes performances by Three Scotch In, Ivan Hartle and Zoey Leven.
Nimbus alumni coming in hot with these summer singles
Just two months after releasing ‘TRIP,’ Boslen returns with his new single, ‘DENY,’ feat. Tyla Yaweh (we highly recommend listening to both).
The smooth blend of jazz, funk and rock that is 29 East’s new single ‘Love Syndrome’ belongs on any summer playlist.
Looking to blow off some steam between studio sessions? We hear you, and so does Rude City Riot. The power-ska-punk outfit opens their sophomore album with ‘Molotov Dreams,’ a catchy anthem that will help diffuse all your end-of-term stressors.
