Topeka, which has enjoyed growing success since its inception, allows fans to connect face-to-face with artists via live interactive video. By offering scheduled, moderated two-way Hang Sessions between artist and fan, Topeka creates the opportunity to form personal relationships via mini-concerts, private lessons and listening parties, group Q&As, workshops, serenades and more.

Topeka is hosting a first-in-kind interactive concert with Jason Isbell in partnership with Sixthman, taking place live from Nashville today, with a recording of the concert airing July 23. The show debuts “the new front row,” an innovative concept in which 150 audience members are able to interact with and be seen by Isbell face-to-face while performing.

About Rainbow Kitten Surprise: With chilling harmonies, dynamic instrumentation and introspective lyrics, Nashville-based Rainbow Kitten Surprise has developed a genre-defying sound—as original and eclectic as the band’s name—that takes influence from artists like Modest Mouse and Kings of Leon as much as Frank Ocean and Schoolboy Q. Released in 2018, the band’s Elektra debut full length How To: Friend, Love, Freefall—produced by Grammy Award winner Jay Joyce (Cage The Elephant, Sleeper Agent)—amassed nearly three million streams in its first week alone and has been met with critical acclaim from Billboard, TIME, VICE and NPR, who described their sound as “a mix of jam and indie and whatever else you can throw into the soup…very earnest, beautiful, political, loving rock ‘n’ roll.”

Rainbow Kitten Surprise have made a pair of high-profile national television appearances, including a “CBS This Morning Saturday” profile where they delivered electrifying performances of singles “Hide” and “Fever Pitch” and a release week late night television debut on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” The band kicked off 2020 with their debut appearance on the iconic PBS music series “Austin City Limits” as part of the award-winning program’s milestone Season 45. Their engaging and distinct live performances have led to sold-out headlining tours and stand out sets at festivals such as Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Austin City Limits among others.

Rainbow Kitten Surprise is: Sam Melo (lead vocals), Darrick “Bozzy” Keller (guitar, vocals), Ethan Goodpaster (lead guitar, vocals), Charlie Holt (bass, vocals) and Jess Haney (drums).
