GIVERS  are an indie pop group from Lafayette, Louisiana. The band is made up of vocalist and percussionist Tiffany Lamson, vocalist and guitarist Taylor Guarisco, drummer and vocalist Kirby Campbell, bassist and guitarist Josh LeBlanc, and flautist, saxophonist, and keyboardist Nick Stephan. The band’s origins date to Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which displaced Lamson and Guarisco from their New Orleans apartment and school, leading them to return to Lafayette with little to do. The duo began playing music together, and they recruited the other members shortly before a last-minute performance at a local pub in 2008. The band came together as the result of the unplanned, improvised jam – via GIVERS Facebook artist page.

City and his recent sophomore release To Pimp A Butterfly, but one listen to the Berklee-trained vocalist’s work with her band Sonnymoon and you’ll quickly understand why she caught Lamar’s attention. She’s credited with background vocals throughout TPAB, and is featured on “Institutionalized” and “These Walls.” – Billboard. Anna recently released her project The Feminine: Act I which is available for purchase and stream.
