Download the multitrack session files for this performance here: telefunken-elektroakustik.com/livefromthelab_season/7

Steve Watkins (Swatkins) is a ginger-bearded smiley keyboard guy. His music generally sounds like a good time. This exceedingly positive individual is a songwriter, producer, singer, multi-instrumentalist, and a master of the talkbox , an old-school analog effect using his larynx and a vinyl tube to shape the sound of his keyboard.

Songs have always been there for Moorea Masa, being raised in the musical mecca of Portland, Oregon. This singer-songwriter has been making music for as long as she can remember. At fifteen, she was already looking for chances to perform by sneaking into local clubs, where she was lovingly adopted into the vibrant community of Portland musicians.
