Cousin Simple w/ Jackson Chant and Out In Front

Columbus, OH natives Will Hoag & Ryan Ulibarri make up the indie alt-rock band Cousin Simple.

Friends since 1st grade, front man Will Hoag and guitarist Ryan Ulibarri have been inseparable ever since. Starting as friends with a mutual interest in music, they spent many early mornings and late evenings rehearsing in their parents’ garage. After being validated by their friends and family that the songs their 13-year-old selves were writing were “actually good”, the duo partnered with some musician friends & entered their first Battle of the Bands in Columbus, also their first ever public performance, and won.

Since then, Cousin Simple has brought their infectious spirit and high energy to every performance, playing sold out shows across the the US in Columbus, Chicago, NYC, DC, Boston and more. Drawing influence from bands like Cage the Elephant, Arctic Monkeys and GROUPLOVE; Cousin Simple has curated their own sound that has resonated with listeners across the world and has landed them playlists slots across multiple DSPs.
Whether you encounter Cousin Simple live or over the waves of the internet, you’re sure to leave energized and ready to dance.

With an interest in songwriting and entertainment, Jackson Chant has been slowly building a following since moving to Los Angeles, CA at the beginning of 2022. As a
singer-songwriter he has worked with several LA based producers to create indie-pop / folk music that can resonate with a wide audience of listeners. He has recently found inspiration from
Hans Zimmer and several other composers and hopes to incorporate more of a cinematic sound into his future releases.

Out in Front are a Los Angeles based band that serendipitously met at a tennis club-where they are all tennis pros. Starting off by jamming in a garage, the three band members, Madie, Isaiah, and Ryen, immediately knew they had something together. Coming from all different roots and having various tastes in music, the band has unique inspirations. Nonetheless, they all have one major thing in common– their passion for music. Blending Southern California sounds with pop- rock influences, Out in Front makes music that sparks the desire to take a trip down the PCH.

The band caught the attention of influencial producer Drew Allsbrook (AJR, Ice Spice, Doja Cat) who joined forces to complete their debut tracks and are currently working on releasing their second single very soon.
