Studio Session
LIVE

Soren Over California steps into the studio for a raw opening session — part performance, part scene report, part first close-up for a band still building its sound in real time.

The format opens up: live performance, short conversation, close cameras, and the small in-between moments that reveal who the artist is before the bigger machine arrives.

What Is Off The Set?

A music show built for discovery.

Buddy Gibbons hosting Off The Set
Host spotlight · Off The Set

Off The Set is where new bands and artists get the television treatment without losing the rawness that made them interesting in the first place. Each episode brings an emerging act into the studio for a live performance, a short conversation, and a closer look at the sound they are building.

The show is designed for people who want to find artists early — before the big playlists, before the label push, before the room gets too clean. It feels part late-night music show, part rehearsal room, part scene report.

Join host Buddy Gibbons as he takes you backstage for an exclusive look at the next generation of music makers.

Watch the artist before the machine finds them.

For Artists

Are you building something worth hearing live?

Off The Set is looking for new bands, solo artists, experimental acts, and young performers with a point of view. You do not need to be famous. You need a sound, a story, and a live performance that can hold the room.

The show is built to spotlight artists at the beginning of their climb — the ones still loading gear through the side door, testing songs in front of friends, and figuring out how big the sound can get.

Off The Set

New artists. Live studio sessions. Episodes ready to watch.

This is where the next wave gets its first close-up.
