As we near the fateful date of this year's bliss-tacular TRKfest, we'll be periodically profiling each band that will be gracing the stage. We'll tell you who they are, why they're special and why we invited them to play.
Artist: Vibrant Green
Hails from: Chapel Hill, via Swan Quarter
Played TRKfest?: Twice
Vibrant Green is a huge part of the history and development of Trekky Records. When brothers Stephen, Joah and Jonny Tunnell moved to Chapel Hill from the quiet coastal town of Swan Quarter, NC, they were just teenagers, but quickly became a part of the fabric of the local indie rock scene, and one of the first bands on our label. We first saw their family band when we were just in middle school, and our love for Vibrant Green's incredible songs has not waned with age. Stephen's simple four chord musings are crushingly beautiful and contain a understated subtlety that asks you to slow down and listen. In the Trekky crew, Stephen has challenged us all to be better songwriters just by being so consistently brilliant. At this point, Vibrant Green doesn't perform that often, so this appearance at TRKfest is a rare chance to see Stephen sing his songs.
