ABOUT THIS BAND
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, and the connection was immediate: Just a few weeks after meeting, the pair was in the studio recording their debut single, “Afterlight,” with Grammy-nominated producer Billy Mohler.
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. In this live setting, free-wheeling and bereft of perfectionist attitudes, the group began laying the foundation for their long-awaited debut full-length album, BLOOM.
