Mario Why

Come see Phoenix, Arizona's favorite multi-faceted artist at his first Hollywood show to debut his first EP as "Mario Why" (at 9pm) and stick around at 10p for a Hotel Cafe favorite: OCTOBR as they perform new music as well as crowd favorites. TIX: https://new.hotelcafe.com/event/octobr-with-mario-yniguez/ Partiful: https://partiful.com/e/8Zb8f9hzatFNV2afa8Ow Mario Yñiguez (he/him) is a songwright, composer, multi-instrumentalist, director, and creator. A founder of the indie psych-rock viral darling "Harrison Fjord" and world-renown composer & collaborator, he is known for his versatility across genres, sincere craftsmanship and a conceptually holistic approach to creation. In May of 2025, Yñiguez will be releasing his debut EP under Mario Why. Transforming his musical theater and classical vocal expertise into what can be be described as, ‘lusciously-indie'. With alternative odes to chamber music and americana, Mario Why’s debut will shine a new light on his artistic identity. Listen to Mario Why: https://ffm.to/mariowhy.OPR OCTOBR has quietly become one of LA’s most essential new voices. She first turned heads with a sold-out debut at The Grove, a venue that has hosted early performances by artists like Ed Sheeran and Demi Lovato. Since then, she’s continued to build momentum with sold-out shows alongside indie favorite Ellen Winter and the genre-blending Hyperbella. Often compared to Sade and Solange, OCTOBR crafts music for the sad, the existentially troubled, and the resolutely hopeful. A multi-instrumentalist, writer, and producer, her performances are both intimate and expansive, offering a sonic experience that resonates deeply. On May 30, OCTOBR returns to Hotel Cafe’s Second Stage, sharing the night with Mario Why, the founding member of Harrison Fjord, as he embarks on his solo journey. It’s a night of reinvention, soul, and sonic depth you won’t want to miss. 🎧 Pre-save OCTOBR’s debut single, arriving later this year: https://ffm.to/octobr.OPR
