While their sun-soaked sound harkens back to simpler times, Carpool Tunnel literally wouldn’t exist without the power of modern technology. Like all great 21st-century relationships, a serendipitous swipe on an app – in this case, Vampr, hailed as Tinder for musicians – brought singer/guitarist Ben Koppenjan and guitarist Bradley Kearsley together in 2017. The Bay Area guitarists quickly bonded over a shared love of ’60s and '70s-era classic rock like the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac. One new member (bassist Spencer Layne) and a $400 van (thanks to – what else? – Craigslist) later, the brilliantly named band hit the road, bringing their California cool aesthetic and classically retro sound up and down the coast. They have a brand new album titled “Don’t Let Them Pass You By” which we highly recommend listening to. With support from Chase Petra and Similar Kind.
