Friday July 15 line-up
Esther Rose
As much as she’s a songwriter, Esther Rose is a scene setter, a crystallizer of moments, and a full time inhabitant of the dimly-lit world depicted in her songs. Rose found her voice over the course of years spent regularly performing and recording in New Orleans, combining her DIY work ethic with an affinity for traditional country arrangements.
Jenna & Martin
J&M create classic country-sounding music in a new way collaborating on a genre they call “Cosmic Western”. This music incorporates bluegrass techniques, gospel harmonies, rock rhythms and experimental classic country sounds. Creating a wall of rockin’ sound they take their listeners on a Cosmic Western journey with old-timey-sounding music and real-life storytelling.
Ro Myra
Montana & Nashville-based singer/songwriter Ro Myra calls to mind everything from Lucinda Williams to Bruce Springsteen to Lori McKenna to Brandi Carlile to Sheryl Crow!
Saturday July 16 line-up
The Coffis Brothers
“It’s all-American music,” says The Coffis Brothers’ co-frontman, Kellen, about the band’s 2022 release, Turn My Radio Up. “There’s rock, blues, acoustic folk, and country in there. As music fans, we go all the way back to the beginning — to pioneers like Buddy Holly and the Everly Brothers — but we also look to artists like the Eagles and Tom Petty for influence. That’s our playbook.”
The Two Tracks
American Songwriter has this to say about The Two Tracks: “They avoid many of the cliches and gimmicks that have grown common in the Americana world while still championing a natural, Earth-grown sound. To hear an acoustic quartet reach a level of dynamic and thematic intensity like The Two Tracks do is an immeasurably rewarding experience. It’s pure musicianship, it’s pure excellence, it’s pure Americana.”
The Boom & The Bust
Local alt-country duo The Boom & The Bust are organic storytellers delve deep into roots of the dirty south and untamed west.
