Cosmic Knot
Cosmic Knot is an American rock band from Grand Rapids, Michigan U.S.. The group was founded in 2015, by Tom Wall and is noted for its positive and uplifting, experimental progressive indie-rock sound that they have termed "Gypsycore".
The band prefers to play in alternate tunings, such as Verdi tuning (A=432 hz) as opposed to the A440 (pitch standard) in the hopes of promoting a healing and overall calming effect on listeners.
In 2016, Cosmic Knot recorded their debut album called Inner Space at Third Coast Recording Studio, in Grand Haven, Michigan, which is owned and operated by noted audio engineer Bill Chrysler. The album was mastered by Capitol Records engineer Ian Selfchick, and was released in August of 2017. It quickly rose up the Relix Jam Band radio charts and has stayed there since it was released. Cosmic Knot has been nominated for two 2017 WYCE-FM’s Jammie Awards for their CD Inner Space.
Cosmic Knot were the headlining band at the 2015, 2016 and 2017 Wish You Were Here festivals in Holton, Michigan.
In 2017, Cosmic Knot won the Best Song contest at Grand Haven’s Walk the Beat festival for their song Like a Gypsy.
Cosmic Knot performed at the 2017 Hash Bash in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Tom Wall performed the Star Spangled Banner on guitar, to start the event, and the whole band performed a full set afterwards, performing for over 10,000 people.
