Nick Larson and Kevin Middlekauf (Proxima Parada)

We're finally easing into summermode this week with our last full interview of the season and this is a great one!  Proxima Parada's Nick Larson and Kevin Middlekauf have been friends since college in San Luis Obispo, CA, and have crafted a musical career together underpinned by the strong support of their fans and local community.  Now, almost ten years into this, they're on their fifth album, Second Brother, released in 2021 and their free-flowing and sun-soaked indie soul vibes feel fresh and organic as ever -- most apropos for a native-California band. While their growing fanbase had been built on hardwork and much love, in late 2022, when a video clip of their music went viral on a popular TikTok channel and earned over 30 million views, these guys were launched well beyond their expectations -- a much welcomed turn of events for any band, let alone for Nick and Kevin who love to tour, meet their fans, and connect with audiences in a live setting. With two new singles currently out, "So Many Ways to Get Downtown," and "Tunnel Through a Mountain," these ambassadors of forward motion are ready to roll through 2023 and beyond!  Come learn more about how Proxima Parada balances success while remaining true to one's self and loyal to their community on this episode of Roadcase.
