KLEZ – Here Right Now

MAWD – MAWD

In the mood to check out more local artists? Be sure to give some former Chico State musicians a listen.

John Klezmer (KLEZ) has a sultry and slow sound to his album, Here Right Now. His voice sounds a bit like John Newman in “Love Me Again,” so if you’re in the mood for more deep and love-infused songs, this is the one.

Madeleine Mathews (MAWD) blends her folk and rock vibes in her self-titled EP. Her voice ranges from slow and soft to upbeat and quick. This is the perfect EP for swaying in a hammock and studying for class.
