Motel Radio is an indie rock band hailing from New Orleans, Louisiana, renowned for their smooth harmonies, evocative lyricism, and blend of southern musical traditions with modern indie rock sensibilities. The band was formed by Ian Wellman and Winston Triolo, and they quickly established themselves as a compelling musical act with the addition of drummer Eric Lloyd and bassist Andrew Pancamo. Their sound, often characterized by melodious guitar lines and charismatic vocals, nods to the vintage warmth of Americana while embracing the creative spirit of contemporary indie music.

The band has been steadily building a following since their inception, manifesting their rich narratives and musicality through a series of recordings. "Live from the Garden" and "Motel Radio - Jam in the Van (Live Session, New Orleans, LA 2022)" highlight the intimate yet energetic live experience they're capable of delivering. Original releases like "The Garden," "Stress," and "Happiness Pie" showcase their knack for crafting tuneful compositions that are at once familiar and fresh. With each performance and release, such as "Me & My Sunshine," "Heat Wave," and "Wise," Motel Radio demonstrates the kind of authentic, heart-driven storytelling that has earned them a special place in the hearts of their fans and within the broader musical landscape. Their OurVinyl sessions, including heartfelt renditions of songs like "Streetlights," further encapsulate the vivid and soulful essence of their artistry.
