Backstory:
Born out of the vibrant and eclectic music scene of the Pacific Northwest, Hearty Cloud brings together four highly creative and passionate musicians. The band’s adventure started in a small coastal town of Oregon, where members- Benjamin “Benny” Stein (lead vocals, guitar), Cynthia “Cindy” Taylor (bass, backing vocals), Jeremy “Jerry” Peters (drums), and Mabel “Mae” Madison (keyboards, backing vocals) found common ground in their shared love for music. Benny, a former solo folk artist, met Cindy at a local jam session. Jerry, a former band member of a punk rock band, crossed paths with them at a vinyl store. Mae, a classically trained pianist, was a childhood friend of Benny and readily accepted the invitation to join. The band started their journey playing at local gigs, crafting their unique sound that soon gained the attention of a music label, leading to their rise in the indie music scene.

The sun sets on the crimson horizon,

Reflecting dreams in our eyes,

Embracing the winds of change.

Look up, the hearty cloud is dancing,

Carried by the winds of change.

A melody that echoes in the winds of change.
