Hi Jon. I agree that their music is always impressive. Scott Hansen is essentially Tycho but since the Dive album tour he has performed and recorded with bandmates. Check the wiki page to see who they are. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tycho_(musician) When they performed at Bluesfest in 2015 (that long ago...wow!) it was as a four piece. The show stopped me in my tracks (I was working on the gate that night) and I had to go watch some of the set. Totally beautiful, uplifting, rhythmic music that made the gorgeous evening feel that much more positive and "sunny." Later when I bumped into them on site I told them that the set really made my day and that it reminded me of the opening evening set by Tangerine Dream at the 2012 Bluesfest. Hansen and his bandmates were stoked by the comparison. I knew nothing of Tycho before that gig and have loved them since!
