"Jayson Orth, performing under the name August to August, is a master of ambiance. This one-man band is for the folks looking to exchange the rowdiness and loudness of a packed club for the soothing sounds of synths and chill drum beats."  - Madison Pearson, The Inlander

About August to August

August to August is a one man band from Spokane, WA that mixes acoustic drums with ambient synths, guitars, keys, vocal samples, and more to create an ethereal lofi hip hop sound.  The artist is known for a live solo performance that involves switching between and simultaneously playing keys, a Roland Octapad, and an acoustic drum kit.

After a decade of drumming in and touring with various bands from the Pacific Northwest, Jayson Orth began this solo project.  What started as an experiment to push himself artistically turned into something he began to share through his unique performance style. 

August to August’s sophomore album, “Slow Down”, was released independently on February 9th, 2024 on vinyl and all streaming platforms.  It was written, performed, produced, mixed, and mastered by Jayson Orth.
