Events large and small need live music that rocks. Adding energy, excitement and bringing people together to dance, jump around, watch, listen and be entertained. Being able to supply that service, be accommodating and great to work with, is the Atomic Hi-Tones magic mix.

Those Who Dream

Who is Those Who Dream?
Great question! Sometimes we wonder the same thing....

The siblings are as DIY as it gets, citing “YouTube tutorials” as their teachers of filmmaking, 3D animation, design, songwriting and production. The sum of these talents can be best seen in the duo’s extravagant music video for their breakout single ‘Violet’, featuring surreal, horror inspired visuals. 


With their debut EP ‘Life In Cyan’ reaching #4 on Apple Music’s Rock charts, viral success on TikTok, and a constant stream of creative social media content, Those Who Dream have begun to amass a loyal and passionate fanbase.
