Living in Silver Lake, **Gus Seyffert** expanded into playing different styles of music and became a staple in LA’s East Side music scene, playing around town with his band Willoughby, as well as Inara George, Greg Kurstin, Mike Andrews, The Haden Triplets, and Benji Hughes, among many others. Through his work with top tier musicians and producers such as Greg Kurstin, Joey Waronker, Ariel Rechtshaid, Glyn Johns, and Nigel Godrich, Gus found himself recording and touring with acts such as Adele, Beck, The Bird And The Bee, The Black Keys, Norah Jones, Michael Kiwanuka, Roger Waters and Sia to name a few. Gus’ obsession with collecting of vintage instruments and recording equipment led to him spending more and more time in the studio as a producer and engineer. He now owns and operates the recording studio Sargent Recorders in LA where he’s been developing bands, writing, and making records. Some production credits include Beck, Michael Kiwanuka, Bedouine, Dr. Dog, Michelle Branch, Jenny Lewis, James Supercave, Spain, Steady Holiday, and Trixie Whitley.

Corey Martin is a versatile composer with a blend of unique artistry mixed with a deep understanding of cinematic music. Over a decade now in the business, he got his start writing for motion picture advertising, landing his music in spots for Star Wars, Concussion, The Incredibles 2, and countless other projects. His breakthrough as a film composer came in 2023, with his original music in HBO’s Last Stop Larrimah, produced by Duplass Brothers Productions which went #1 on Netflix in Australia. Later that year he scored the Taika Waititi directed short film “The Lost Voice” in collaboration with Apple. More recently, he served as the composer for Green & Gold, an indie film that won the Audience Choice Award at both Austin Film Festival and Heartland International Film Festival.

The name **Wife Support** started as a joke. Then it stuck. Then it got real. It’s both an embrace and a question mark. It’s someone who believes in love but wrestles with the weight of an institution that has barely evolved, someone who wakes up next to the person they adore but still feels uneasy about words like husband and forever. Musically, it wanders, on purpose. Some songs feel like old jazz standards. Some flirt with country. Some spiral like a fever dream. There’s pop, there’s folk, there’s whatever the Freak Out is. Think: Fiona Apple meets Kacey Musgraves at a very confusing dinner party, with Jenny Lewis pouring the wine and St. Vincent texting from the bathroom.​ There’s no helpline for women who love being in love but feel deeply uneasy about the word “wife.” No late-night infomercial for those who adore their partner but still mourn the version of themselves that existed before they became a packaged deal. That’s where Wife Support comes in. And if you need it, you already know why. **Sharaya Summers** opens.
