The Roster

Producers / Songwriters
Beachmont
Beachmont is the latest project from Berklee alum, Josh Polack (former frontman of Mom Rock), and Tyler Savoie. The Nebraska natives, now turned Nashville dweebs (as they call it) are inspired by the soundtracks of indie coming of age movies, pinball arcades, and 80s roller rinks. Think letterman jackets and tight blue jeans, sparkling synths and roaring sax. Winners of the 2025 American Songwriter Road Ready Contest, Josh and Tyler are as strong performing as they are writing. Both Josh and Tyler topline and produce together and separately. Josh spans genres between Alt, Indie, Country, and Alt Pop, and Tyler specializes in Indie, Alt, and Dance.
