It started as an idea when Tanner Parks was going to school in Minnesota. He moved back to Cedar Rapids to pursue this idea with his friends. He recruited Grant Blades and Tyler Burkle to learn instruments to start a band, “In the Attic”. After two years of learning multiple instruments, song writing, producing and engineering, and adding member Brennan Graeve, they were ready to start recording t
heir first record. In the spirit of playing music with friends, they always try to have other musicians, and friends, add their own flavor to songs. Now, White Sofa has many artists (not just musical artists). Read more about these amazing people down below! White Sofa will continue expanding with artists and music for as long as they can. In the Attic is an alternative band from Cedar Rapids, Iowa with four core members; Grant Blades, Tyler Burkle, Brennan Graeve and Tanner Parks . Tyler and Tanner have known each other for over a decade. They met Grant in high school where they formed, In the Attic, and started White Sofa Records. They have released two singles from one of their first record (The Same Different Sound), “Brother” and “People”. They recorded their singles by themselves. After high school, Grant and Tyler attended Kirkwood Community College where Tyler met Brennan. Brennan introduced In the Attic to Sine Rife at Rife Recording Studio where they started recording their new, and older, material. In the Attic released The Same Different Sound in December 2016. Expect a multitude of music to be coming your way! The Hex Girls consists of John and Nick Fisher, Charlie Patterson, and Nico Luerkens, four sisters based out of Cedar Falls, IA who create Witch Musik (a confusing blend of indie rock, punk, and blues). The Hex Girls have been described as sounding like, “If Iggy Pop took a p**s on The Arctic Monkeys” -Ross Klemz of SIRES

Adam Vandervaart crafts beauty from the soil of the Earth. Visionary Projections
My name is Sheila Buschette, owner of Visionary Projection, and I was born and raised in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I’ve been very passionate about photography for some time, but even more so about the beauty of the world around us. I first started taking pictures when I was in middle school, and I’ve been in love ever since. I took a course led by National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore a few years back, and it was all about capturing the world in a natural light, as it already is, instead of having to touch everything up with Photoshop. I strive to take photographs that are authentic and prime time – right there in the moment! That’s what my business is all about, actually; capturing your moments as real as they occur. That’s my passion, and that is the end goal. Visionary Projection is a title that is all about, well, the title. Visionaries are people who take the abstract or the ordinary and make it something extremely extraordinary and out of this world; or in other words, to project keen ideas and visions on a massive scale. My business is all about capturing your precious moments, whether it be your passions, your milestones, your personal quirks and fetishes, and showcasing it in a beautiful and natural way so that others can see the beauty in these moments, too.
