Lindsey McFarland is a soulful singer, songwriter and acoustic guitarist. She is known for heartfelt performances of thoughtfully reimagined covers and unique original songs. Her singing and vocal harmonies are inspired by generations of female vocalists from Joni Mitchell and the Indigo Girls, to Phoebe Bridgers, Susan Tedeschi and so many more. Lindsey especially enjoys the shared experience of playing music with friends and family. In 2024, Lindsey McFarland met Drew Pearce through the Hopmonk Sebastopol open mic scene and began performing in Sonoma County venues as the band Late But Ready.

At just 17 years old, Rio McFarland is already an accomplished bassist with a diverse interest in various genres of music. From rock and reggae to jazz, metal, rap, psychedelic, and bluegrass music, Rio enjoys playing it all. Starting on bass at the age of 11, Rio quickly fell in love with the instrument. In addition to electric bass, Rio plays the double bass in his high school orchestra, plays guitar, and raps. His influences include: Vulfpeck, Pink Floyd, Lyrics Born, TOOL, Little Stranger, and Alice In Chains.

As singer-songwriter for the band Darrington, Drew Pearce was part of the SF music scene that orbited around the Bazaar Cafe in the early 00s. After releasing the record Heat Change Vapor + Snow in 2002, Drew started hosting a house concert series to present indie musicians in living rooms and listening spaces around the SF Bay Area. After lockdowns, the series turned into backyard music parties known as the Secret Song Club.

In 2016, Drew got inspired to record again with the help of musician/producers Jeff Campbell and Gawain Mathews on the track Fight or Flight. In 2022, he recorded an album called Voices from the Satellite, which included performances by Kyle Caprista, Meredith Edgar, Amie Penwell, Francesca Lee, Leah Jones, Lynn Asher, Jason Roberts, Emilie Rohrbach, and Audrey Scout.
