Gremlintone Sessions

Lo-fi, high soul. Gritty performances from Sonoma County’s underground.

The Gremlintone Sessions title screen featuring a spinning vinyl record on a vintage turntable, with an Andrés Segovia album in the background — capturing the raw, grassroots vibe of Santa Rosa’s lo-fi music scene.

Marty O’Reilly — “Firmament”

We’ve heard every version of this song… and this one hits different. It’s soulful, aching, stripped to the bone. The performance is magnetic. No gimmicks, no polish. Just Marty and a mic. Sadly, the original audio recordings were lost. What you’re hearing is camera mic only. And somehow, that makes it even better.

The Brothers Comatose – “Sad and Lonesome”

Twangy, twinkly, and a little broken — in the best way. The Brothers Comatose brought their signature harmonies to a creaky floor and a busted amp, and the result was magic.

We didn’t overlight it. We didn’t overthink it. We just pressed record and let the room do the rest.

Gremlintone – Culture Pop DNA

We didn’t walk into Gremlintone Sessions with a shot list. We walked in with cameras and coffee.

This was grassroots filmmaking, all natural light, handheld cameras, and the beautiful chaos of live performance. There were no second takes. No polish. Just raw musicianship, captured in real-time.

As a former wishful rockstar turned filmmaker, this one hit close to home. This wasn’t just a gig. It was a love letter.
