Larimer Lounge Presents Naethan Apollo with Mars Mignon on Monday, September 22nd.Doors: 7:00 PM
Advance: $20, Day of Show: $25, VIP: $55
Meet Naethan Apollo, a storyteller and world-builder on the verge of something legendary. With over 1.4 million followers on TikTok, 250K+ on Instagram, and over half a million monthly listeners on Spotify, Naethan Apollo is already a total phenomenon, building his realm one fan at a time. But with an upcoming headline tour and the announcement of his most ambitious release yet, he's inviting listeners to dive even deeper into his fantasy-rich universe.
Out on July 25, Tales From Cazilor: Wyldflowers is part concept record, part DIY musical, and part animated series in-the-making. It's like nothing you'll hear this year, or maybe ever––think Hobo Johnson meets Dungeons Dragons, or EPIC: The Musical meets Gorillaz. At its core lies a story about underdogs, outsiders, and a found family of “cranks” who find strength in failure and chaos. “Wyldflowers don’t get to choose where they grow,” Naethan says on the title track. That line speaks to what this album is all about– the wyldflowers that society tosses aside; the misfits who somehow find a way to bloom.
Raised in a rural town called Solon, Iowa, and later shaped by basement shows while attending Iowa State for graphic design, Naethan Apollo creates a sort of DIY mytho-music where everything is canon and the songs serve a bigger-picture narrative arc, not just algorithmic playlists. Each scene on Wyldflowers is voiced by Apollo's real-life friends and fiancee, and ties into lore that fans can later dig into across social media, music videos, and live shows, too.
He started making music about a decade ago, but that infectious determination to chase his dream really took off when he lost a close friend and musical mentor, Praeditus. The "ae" in Naethan is there to honor him, as they always promised one another they'd make it together. A fan of Greek mythology, he chose the last name "Apollo" because it's the god of music, but it also serves as a continued commitment to his vow to Praeditus––that now, he’s going to succeed for them both.
Throughout, we follow a squad of rejects, including our protagonist Apollo, as they train for an impossible fight in a brutal fantasy realm called, The Wyld. Failure is expected, but isn't that also when we find out what we're really made of? Across eight fully-scripted scenes and their accompanying tracks, Naethan Apollo tells an epic story about resilience and finding the power in being who you are.
But Wyldflowers isn’t just a nerdy side quest. It’s a bold and wildly entertaining album that delivers tracks that go as hard as anything in the alternative scene today. Standouts like “Run Away,” “Go! Go! Go!” and the title track showcases Apollo’s knack for humor and high-stakes, singalong hooks. He weaves rap, folk, rock, and spoken-word to create something entirely his own.
