DreamStates

Founded in 2017 by Natalie Grace Martin and Madeline Eckhart, DreamStates began with a cover of Kokomo and has evolved into a powerhouse ensemble of transgender pop musicians, adding Jo Heil and Billy Pifflestock to the stack to form a truly impressive harmonic palate. Based in Akron, Ohio, the band proudly stands as musical ambassadors to the trans and gender non-conforming communities across all of Ohio. Their music exudes hope and positivity, knows no bounds stylistically, and is full to the brim with catchy melodies, clever hooks, and lush, inventive instrumentation.

They have opened for LGBTQ icons Ryan Cassata and Betty Who, been featured on LA Music Critic's "Most Amazing Music Videos" blog, and performed at Pride festivals and events in Akron, Columbus, Athens, Cleveland, and Erie, PA. They have also had the privilege of working with DUST filmmaker Lauren Cooney on their music video for "Hilltop Song (When the World Ends)."

DreamStates are currently working on their next original album, Technicolor the Sky, and have released their newest cover album, The Double Time Dilemma, on June 25th of 2024. They are supported by a legion of fans, family, and friends from coast to coast, and are incredibly thankful for each and every person counted amongst them.
