Quells (Detroit) / Gio Chavez (Denver) / Caleb Adkins (San Diego)

  • Trident Booksellers & Cafe 940 pearl street Boulder, CO 80302 USA (map)

Diving into eclectic realms of ambient indie, dreamy shoegaze, dance rock, folk pop, and beyond, Quells aspires to the limitless nature of genre-hopping visionaries such as Bent, Sade, Gorillaz, Devendra Banhart, or Broken Social Scene.

Fitzgerald’s music is a tapestry woven with threads of post-punk energy, R&B soul, and jazz intricacy. Echoing the experimental spirit of The Velvet Underground, hypnotic rhythms of MGMT, and introspective depth of Beach Fossils and Slowdive, Quells creates soundscapes both deeply personal and universally resonant.

Exploring themes of life, love, and loss, Fitzgerald’s songs are journeys through existential musings, esoterica, romance, and death. For listeners seeking to feel, question, and connect, Quells’ music is an odyssey into the heart of what it means to be human.

Giovanni Chavez is the Denver, Colorado based singer-songwriter and guitarist behind Los Cronies, a band featuring some of the best friends of Chavez, Brandon on guitar, Braden on bass, and James on drums. At the end of 2025, Chavez went through a rebirth in Turtle Island’s Grand Canyon, leading him to switch from the electric guitar to the acoustic guitar. With this new stripped down and organic approach, Chavez released his debut solo EP “Mae” in December of 2025. Building a new collection of songs, Chavez is beginning to pull friends back into the live band on backing vocals and other instrumentation to join him for concerts. Recording analog straight to tape, Gio has also started recording friends in Colorado and plans to release more music and play more shows in 2026.

Founder of A.M. Fire, Caleb Adkins is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist from San Diego, California who has spent significant time living in the State of Oaxaca, vagabonding around Mexico. Releasing his debut full-length album “Back Down to the Top” in early 2025, Adkins also plays lead guitar in Wanted Noise and the Denver live band of Quells. Fusing folk, funk, country and blues, Adkins sings in English and Spanish about his experiences traveling, existential ponderings, and what it means to be a musician and teacher today.
