Byland is the moniker and last name of Seattle based, Albuquerque raised, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Alie Renee.

The acclaimed project has received recognition from outlets like KEXP, Under The Radar, American Songwriter, Flood Magazine, and others. Byland's latest studio record, “Heavy For A While”, is both timeless and "a little weird" and makes room for her intriguing and often offbeat arrangements - released on Mother West in March of 2024. The record was co-written with her partner and primary collaborator, Jacob John. A Grammy award winning team brought it to life, including production by Nathan Yaccino (Matt Cameron, Pearl Jam, Norah Jones), mixing by Brandon Bell (Brandi Carlile, Joni Mitchell, Dolly Parton), and mastering by Pete Lyman (Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell, Chris Stapleton). Notable contributors alongside Alie include a lineup of powerful females - Jessica Dobson (Deep Sea Diver), Meagan Grandall (Lemolo), and Abby Gundersen. In support of the record, Alie, along with her four-piece band of seasoned musicians, toured the West and East Coasts. Zander Hawley is a singer and songwriter from Los Angeles. Described as “an avalanche of feeling” (Atwood Magazine) and “consistently captivating, lyrical storytelling” (Ones To Watch), he has toured the US, Canada, and Europe, both on his own and opening for acts including The Naked and Famous and Noah Gundersen. His music has been featured on television in “The Following” on Fox and “The Recruit” on Netflix, and he currently appears as “Rodge” on “The Rookie” on ABC.

Brenna Bruce is a singer-songwriter residing in Seattle, Washington. Following a path of curiosity and introspection, her music moves with a quiet power, balancing sharpness and tenderness with an understood patience. Bruce pulls from the tradition of vulnerable folk songwriting through delicate and crystalline vocal prowess akin to Courtney Marie Andrews and Emmylou Harris, with the simplicity and focus of Gillian Welch’s storytelling. On her debut EP “Honest Bloom”, Bruce weaves heartfelt stories of her youth in the vast desert landscapes of Arizona with her present day home in the lush mountains of the Pacific Northwest. She explores spaces of liminality and cyclical growth, spinning themes of connection, belonging, and becoming, with Brenna’s vocal harmonies carrying each sentiment to fruition. In 2026, Bruce returns with a matured sound and focused production for her sophomore project “Light Catcher”. Supported by the refined textures of earthy percussion, woodwinds, strings, guitars, and keys, the songs embody threads of rootlessness entangled in visceral memories of love, loss, and everything between.Lightweight Champion is an alt-country band based out of Seattle and Port Townsend, WA. The band's sound comprises compelling indie songwriting and lyricism with a twangy edge. The band released their first EP “Valley” on Seattle cassette label Den Tapes in April 2023. The EP demonstrates the band's versatility and arrangement prowess – it merges Spieldenner’s lyrics-forward style with warm and textural production, leaning on alt-country influences augmented by explorations into indie/alternative sonic territory. Members include Aaron Spieldenner (Vocals/Guitar), Cam Hancock (Drums) and Tom Moskal (Bass). Stonefruit is an indie alternative rock band local to Bozeman, MT. With a debut album set to release in summer 2026 and their first tour on the books, Stonefruit is reaching the escape velocity necessary to blast off. Made up of one lifelong Montanan and three lads with southern roots, Stonefruit's sound seamlessly blends noisy tones, sweet bends, and driving drums with Olivia Langan's idiosyncratic lyrics and guitar play. From dreamy alt that has you staring at the floor to crunchy quickness that breaks you from the spell, Stonefruit's genre blending has no limits.

100 Miles of Music presents Canadian Music Nights #1 ,the 1st in a series of&nbsp;concerts where American artists will be celebrating their love of Canadian music and the culture that created it. Starring: James Young &amp; Friends feat. Erin McNamee, Jonny Evergreen, Ian Jones, and more!We will be singing the timeless songs that our neighbors up north penned or simply made famous. We will be working with Canadian music journalist Phil Saunders on considering songs we have yet to discover, as well as highlighting music that should be better known on both sides of the border. Phil Saunders is a former CBC journalist and author of the book No Flash Please: Underground Music in Toronto 1987-1992.&nbsp;His deep knowledge and scholarship has already made this music series a more authentic study of Canadian song. His research and first hand experience exploring the relationships between Canadian and American musicians, is one of the major touchstones of the night.More of a musical bridge than simply a headliner, our own Pike Place Gospel music legend, James Young will be at the top of the bill, as we present his unique collection of multi talented music friends that will perform Canadian music they connect with deeply. We will also be showcasing some music from a forthcoming solo album by Mr. Young that has been made possible by Friends of The Market, a group of citizens of Seattle that have themselves had a unique role in preserving and protecting Pike Place.The evening will be presented by the radio show 100 Miles of Music and emceed by program's hosts, Davin Stedman and Stevor Compton. Not coincidentally, Phil Saunders was the co-owner of the short lived Canadian American magazine whose mission of connecting our two nations inspired Davin to create 100 Miles of Music, as a clever way to describe the fact that nearly the entire population of Canada lives within 100 miles of the United States. We have gathered an incredible group of music friends to express our love for not just Canadians, but the visitors and immigrants of all kinds that make places like Pike Place Market, and to encourage Canadians we love to come back to Seattle to visit Pike Place Market.

Canadian Music Nights #1 

You know Annie Ford as the ghostly fiddle player in your favorite country band. You know her from your neighborhood farm stand, straw hat pulled over her eyes, strumming a worn-out acoustic or sawing out an old time tune. You know Annie Ford by her haunting singing voice, honed by decades of American grit. The song that Ford carries across the mountains is one you hear when you first open your eyes, and the echo that fades away just as you close them at night. Her voice reaches out like an old phonograph– a cracked vision of the past that eerily taps into our modern age. She set off on the highway young, settling first in New Orleans, Northern California then planting roots in Seattle where she honed her skills across a wide musical spectrum. A true multi-instrumentalist, they play fiddle, banjo, guitar, piano, accordion, ukulele, washtub bass, and viola. Ford draws inspiration from jazz, old-time, klezmer, Irish, Cajun, and country blues traditions. Now fully settled in the Natural State in Little Rock, Ford has quickly become a staple at the legendary White Water Tavern. Her most recent album Headed South, eloquently details what it means to leave home: heartbreaking goodbyes, trepidation toward the unknown, and overcoming the obstacles of leaving what you once knew for uncharted territories.

Jessie Thoreson is a singer-songwriter from Seattle, Washington. Drawing inspiration from classic storytellers like Joni Mitchell and John Prine, Jessie Thoreson pairs folk roots and instrumentation with the emotional grit and complexity of artists like Fiona Apple, Madison Cunningham, and St. Vincent. Her most recent album, Return to the Ground, is a meditation on life’s cyclical nature. Each song connects ecological patterns to emotional cycles, exploring themes of change, repetition, and renewal. When not playing music, Jessie works as a fire ecologist, studying how wildfire reshapes, renews, and reinforces our cultural and ecological systems. That idea of transformation runs through her music, which often explores natural systems, human behavior, and the tension between destruction and renewal. Playful yet sophisticated, her songs celebrate life’s contradictions, cycles, and the beauty found in between.Los Angeles indie folk/pop troubadour, activist, and community builder Ethan Buckner wants you to see who he really is: his traumas and triumphs, anxieties and hopes. His debut LP Treading Water, produced by grammy-nominee Justin Glasco (Paris Paloma, Lone Bellow), weaves between moments both intimate and anthemic, exploring struggles that are both deeply personal and unavoidably collective. Following a whirlwind year of touring and releases, including a headline debut at LA’s iconic Troubadour, Ethan and Justin are hard at work on Ephemera, his second LP. The project is Ethan’s reckoning and redemption, written after Ethan found himself immobilized for months in early 2025 following a severe back injury. His new work casts an invitation to embrace vulnerability as a source of power.

"When music journalists say things like 'this artist is a fixture in Seattle music,' there’s probably no one right now who fits that title better than Nakayama." - KEXP Seattle artist Tomo Nakayama’s fourth album "Ocean" will be released on November 7th on Porchlight Records/Den Tapes in the USA, and in Japan on Lemon House Inc. Following his breakthrough 2020 synthpop album "Melonday", “Ocean” is Tomo’s return to a graceful, lush, organic full-band sound, backed by pianist Yuuki Matthews (The Shins), bassist Abbey Blackwell (Alvvays), and drummer Christopher Icasiano (Fleet Foxes) and featuring guest turns by Jesy Fortino (Tiny Vipers) and Debbie Miller. It is his most personal and complete musical statement to date, a self-produced ten song reflection on grief, healing, and the meaning of creating art and maintaining humanity in a tumultuous world. “Ocean” travels across sonic worlds of dream pop, orchestral acoustic folk, improvisational jazz, psychedelia and indie rock, all tied together by a wide open melodic and lyrical heart. "Ocean" is a deeply collaborative album awash in images of the sea, serving as metaphors for the vastness of love, human connection, and our capacity to clearly see and be one with the world. Born in Japan and raised in Seattle, Tomo Nakayama has explored the lines between intimate indie folk, exuberant synth pop, and cinematic soundtracks for over two decades. Best known for placements in Netflix’s “House of Ninjas” and the Sundance Grand Jury nominated film “Touchy Feely”, Tomo’s music has been praised by NPR, KEXP, and the New York Times, and his hit single “Get to Know You” received over 2 million streams worldwide.

Multi-instrumentalist Dave French – most widely known as the powerhouse drummer of Yob – arrives with his solo venture SEMANTRON, and the project’s entrancing debut LP, Secrets Of A Krummholz Heart.Dave French has not only performed around the globe as a member of Yob, he’s played drums with Tad Doyle’s Brothers Of The Sonic Cloth, been a live collaborator with Steve Von Till and his Harvestman project, produced records for members of Soundgarden, and much more throughout his life in music. For several years, he’s been traveling with a classical guitar, writing songs in backstages and hotels, during ferry crossings, in remote landscapes, and quiet moments on the road. These pieces gradually evolved into SEMANTRON. The name of the project comes from an ancient monastic instrument: a plank of beech wood struck rhythmically with branches to call monks to meditation. The word itself is so old that its original pronunciation has long been lost to time. French chose the name because the music shares a similar purpose—slow, resonant, and meditative.Performing every instrument on Secrets Of A Krummholz Heart, having recorded acoustic foundations in an off-grid cabin on Mt. Adams before completing drums, bass, electric guitars, and vocals between his home studio and the rehearsal space of Yob, French blended acoustic and electric textures with field recordings gathered from the natural world: ravens and owls, alpine wind, rivers, stone percussion from mountain talus slopes, rhythms played on living trees, and the slow dripping of meltwater from an Icelandic glacier. The record was mixed by Nathan Yaccino (Soundgarden, Norah Jones, A Storm Of Light), mastered by Tad Doyle (Tad, Brothers Of The Sonic Cloth), and completed with art/layout by Dave French. The result is deeply immersive music that unfolds patiently, drawing the listener into a meditative landscape of sound. The result is immersive and deeply personal music—patient, atmospheric, and elemental—echoing the expansive spirit of Pink Floyd and the ritualistic beauty of Dead Can Dance.“Tad Doyle,&nbsp;best known for the bands TAD, BROTHERS OF THE SONIC CLOTH, HOG MOLLY, H-HOUR, and others will be performing solo with some of his most recent film score works. This will be his first live performance since 2006. Expect the unexpected.”

His style elevates the ‘blues’ to a place where roots are respected, yet nudged towards the future. He consistently captures, then rivets listeners with precise, passionate performances.” - Jefferson Magazine (Sweden)&nbsp; “Having earned finalist status at the 2011 International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Nick Vigarino has since been recognized as a world class blues act. Be it a juke or a major festival, Nick delivers the story with a stinging guitar that is second to none.” – Washington Blues Society&nbsp; “Nick has released 3 CD’s, can be heard on 30+ recordings and 3 film soundtracks. He has performed in 13 countries, has been nominated for 30+ music awards in 3 countries, garnering 24, including an induction into the Washington Blues Society’s Hall of Fame and the prestigious Lifetime Acheivement Award” – Seattle Times “Nick took to dismantling what was left of all sensibility with the skill of a surgeon and the impact of a wrecking ball. We were promised that this guy smoked, but even that’s putting things lightly.”- The Bluesletter (Seattle,WA) “Nick plays from the heart with high energy, it is definitely THE blues” – Lee Oskar

Sam Weber is a Portland-based songwriter whose reputation precedes him. If you haven’t seen him in your town on one of his many extended tours, you might have seen his name on marquees beside Dawes, Feist, or Madison Cunningham (and in the latter's liner notes as a songwriter on her latest LP, Ace). His songcraft is only rivaled by his musicianship, both of which are disciplined enough to stun and feel effortless. He’s well-practiced at his trade, touring solo or with an ensemble domestically and abroad since 2013. His relentless output — now counting eight full length records in his discography — has led to an examination of human existence through self analysis, eternal in a fragmenting modern world. He is a Scorpio.Berkley (Portland, OR) With a voice that straddles delicacy and huskiness, Portland songwriter Berkley takes the mantle from the 70s Laurel Canyon scene. Jones’s signature progressive flourishes and expansive influences keep him out of the heritage revivalism pack as he ventures into new (for him) territory of country-tinged, folk-leaning tunes on his second LP Vaquero.

Sparkling chanteuse John Coons and adult performer Jonah Wheeler return to Seattle with a new evening of queer frivolity, original songs, and unhinged mashups. At turns hilarious, horny, and heartbreaking, these two punslingers will stuff you full of queer joy like a reverse pinata. Following up John's dark comedy BLEAK at Seattle Town Hall in 2023 (and performances with the 5th Avenue Theater, ACT Theater, and the Seattle Symphony), partner-in-life-and-performance Jonah now throws his Broadway-arranger-turned-adult-star hat into the ring. Described as "something between late-night cabaret, avant-garde therapy, and a fever dream from too many espresso martinis," John and Jonah have been touring all the very gay places – Provincetown, Puerto Vallarta, New York City, San Francisco– and descend on the Rabbit Box on Sept 20.

Governor Kyle is an independent artist blending digestible storytelling into a sound that feels both personal and big. Drawing inspiration from everyday experiences, her music lives somewhere between indie pop, alternative r&amp;b, and bedroom-produced honesty. Rooted in authenticity and driven by a DIY spirit, Governor Kyle continues to carve out her own lane.Pluto Ivy is a reggae band bringing together soulful grooves, uplifting energy, and a modern Pacific Northwest spirit. Blending classic reggae influences with elements of rock, funk, and contemporary songwriting, the band creates a sound that is both laid-back and vibrant. Known for their engaging live performances and feel-good atmosphere, Pluto Ivy delivers music that celebrates connection, positivity, and the simple joy of getting lost in the rhythm.Zoser is a&nbsp;singer/songwriter and music bender whose music has no boundaries.&nbsp; With a&nbsp;soulful&nbsp;voice, thoughtful lyrics, and a guitar, his&nbsp;music shifts seamlessly between pop, hip-hop, R&amp;B, and folk.&nbsp;As an emerging Seattle artist, Zoser began playing guitar when he was just 10-years-old. By the age of 12, he began penning his own lyrics and performing to local audiences in his hometown of Augusta, Georgia.&nbsp; He made his recording debut in 2019 with the EP release “Genesis” followed by the EP “Evolve” in 2020, &nbsp;independently recorded and released.&nbsp; Currently he is working on an album with Loosegroove Records, a Seattle based record label founded by Stone Gossard (of Pearl Jam) and Regan Hagar. Zoser has crafted a sound that is wholly and undeniably his own. The result is something spectacular to behold: a voice that conveys a world-weary ache and a bright optimism, and a sense of musicality that is&nbsp;both rhythmic and infectiously melodic. He is a singer, a storyteller and something of a revelation – not necessarily a soul singer but something rarer and more precious – a singer with soul.

Black Thunder is the new studio album by acclaimed Seattle-based artist Brittany Davis. Arriving on Loosegroove Records, a label founded by Pearl Jam’s Stone Gossard, the profound, fully improvised, fully realized collection, recalls artists like Nina Simone, Roberta Flack and Rahsaan Roland Kirk in its immersive, incantatory spirit. Produced by Josh Evans, it features Davis on keys and vocals, Evan Flory-Barnes on bass, and D’Vonne Lewis on drums. The trio — who barely knew each other prior to recording together — improvised Black Thunder in a surge of interactive creativity across two days in the studio. The short window in which to work did away with overthinking and brought each musician’s A-game. Steeped in Black and Afrocentric cultural influences, this is Davis’s most poignant and cathartic work to date. “Brittany, Evan, and D’Vonne have, in some way, been preparing for this recording all their lives. Honing their instrumental craft and ability, of course — but more importantly, preparing their ears, emotions, and egos to be fully present and create absolutely in the moment,” Evans says. “To listen deeply and respond empathetically. To speak with uncomfortable honesty. To listen, and be vulnerable.” Davis — who has been blind since birth — arrives at Black Thunder via considerable headwinds. In 2023, she released her debut album, Image Issues, also via Loosegroove Records. It was met by critical hosannas. As NPR’s All Songs Considered put it, "Brittany's music is a potent expression of hope...giving the listener courage to face the challenges the world throws at them." And American Songwriter hailed her “voice that would fill the deepest cavern. The blind singer/songwriter is a marvel and not for any reason other than she is dripping with talent and presence.” Davis was featured on ABC’s Good Morning America, which noted, “She uses her music to connect with people and fight for a more inclusive world.” Black Thunder marks a shift away from Image Issues’ contemporary soul-funk sound built upon drum machines and programmed keys; instead opting for a fully live, organic performance, one that showcases her stylistic maturation, pure expression and the breadth of her versatility.    In the opening piece, “All You Get,” Davis introduces herself on the piano with a pensive, one-note octave rhythm; Flory-Barnes joins them with a hypnotic pulse. Lewis completes the triangulation with a shaker, then drums. “The groove is locked in,” Evans says with a smile. “The ceremony has begun.”

<h4>Nashville-based singer and songwriter Cassandra Lewis brings her signature Cosmic Americana to life with a kaleidoscopic blend of classic country, psychedelic soul, and cinematic storytelling. Known for her powerhouse vocals and unfiltered emotionality, Lewis channels a life lived across continents and chaos — from being born on a converted WWII base in Nuremberg to a childhood of constant moves, small-town grit, and eventually the wild spiral of houselessness and heartbreak that shaped her voice.</h4><h4>Her sound has been described by press as a “tapestry of cosmic Americana, retro soul, and country gold” (No Depression), and she jokes that her music is like “Dolly Parton on acid. Janis Joplin on Jesus.”</h4><h4>Her major-label debut, Lost in a Dream (Elektra/Low Country Sound), produced by Dave Cobb, solidified her as one of Americana’s most arresting new artists. The album, praised for its cinematic sweep and emotional depth, climbed into the Top 15 on AAA radio, with her breakout single “So Bad” edging the Top 10. Her earlier independent record Always, All Ways hit #1 on KEXP’s Americana chart, earning her a devoted following even before her major-label introduction.</h4><h4>On stage, Lewis is a force. Raw, hilarious, transcendent, and impossible to forget. She has toured with Allen Stone and Charley Crockett, and delivered standout performances at Farm Aid with Willie Nelson, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, Pilgrimage Festival, Bumbershoot, BeachLife Ranch, and the Ryman Auditorium. Each appearance expands the world she builds in her songs: gritty, unhinged, tender, mystical, and always rooted in human truth.</h4><h4>Now fully independent, Cassandra is entering a bold new era… unbound, cinematic, and fearlessly her own. With her third studio album, In Love + War, arriving in 2026 with a raw, electric tour planned to follow, she continues carving her own lane as one of the most arresting voices in modern Americana.</h4><h4>Make sure to follow for the release of her third studio album, In love + war, with the first single "American Sickness"&nbsp; &nbsp;set to release on may 16, 2026.</h4>

Generifus is the music project of Washington State native Spencer Sult. Beginning in 2005, Sult has written, recorded and released around twenty LPs, Eps, Singles and Compilations working with K Records, Bud Tapes, Anything Bagel and his own Sultan Serves label. Generifus has toured the USA many times and Japan once via car, train, Greyhound bus and plane. A “Best Of” compilation was released in late 2025 by Perpetual Doom, assembling 15 of the best songs recorded over the lengthy span of Generifus’ existence. St. Yuma began its journey in 2015 in Seattle, WA. It has served as the creative outlet for Stevan Alva, a California native. After spending an extended period in Texas, Stevan returned to Washington in the spring of 2022. Following the release of "Country Sleight of Hand" recorded at The Unknown in Anacortes, WA, in 2024, a new album is set to be released in March of 2026 Entitled “Trout Man” St. Yuma's most ambitious work yet. Drawing on inspiration from artists such as Silver Jews, Damien Jurado, and various other artists from the 60’s &amp; 70’s. Where's Beth voice and lyrics clear as glass, Where’s Beth (project of Sarabeth Weszely) carries the kind of honesty that makes a room go still. Raised in the Midwest and trained as a writer, Weszely brings a literary sensibility to her songs, shaped by close observation and restraint. She lived seven years in New York City, where she recorded for my mom &amp; other lovers (2022) and Bone Broth (2024). These early releases introduced her devotion to shared domestic spaces and the emotional textures of the mundane. Her sophomore album Ache Is A Cricket In The Night continues this exploration of everyday life but widens its emotional landscape. Across its songs, Weszely writes in tiny weather systems: a fridge that stops humming, a clogged drain gurgling like human pain, strangers pointing out untied shoes in the grocery line, white ants burrowing through wood at dusk. These images widen into reflections on grief, anger, the quiet accumulation of loss, and the ordinary ache of being alive. Recorded live in Weszely’s Seattle home studio, Ache Is A Cricket In The Night trusts presence over perfection. It does not rush toward resolution but stays, listens, offering itself as a companion and trusting that even the smallest details can hold entire emotional worlds.

Eli Moore was born in Seattle in 1978. At age 5, his family would leave the city to homestead on remote Whidbey Island, where Eli would grow up spending free time taping music off the radio. Paula Abdul, INXS, and Bruce Hornsby flaunted evidence of a freer world. At 13, he’d hear “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” and in a fandom trance, walk to Casey’s grocery store to purchase Nevermind on cassette. His appetite for music would grow alongside an inconvenient urge to do more than just listen. In 1999, he’d move to Bellingham, WA, for college and follow the thread to increasingly approachable and local music—Lou Barlow, Built to Spill, Dear Nora, K Records. He’d surrounded himself with this music and its people, but self-doubt kept him from tending to his ache to create. In 2001, while night-swimming in Puget Sound’s phosphorescent waters, he found himself pulled out to sea. As he fought to make it back to land, he thought he heard the words: “Don’t let me catch you while you’ve still got things to do.” This near-death experience literally gave voice to the precious wish Eli had been sheltering from the world. He busted open. Eli now resides with his wife and musical partner, Ashley Eriksson. Together, they lead LAKE, a band that has spanned two decades and produced numerous albums. He has collaborated with notable artists such as Karl Blau, Laura Veirs, and First Aid Kit, and records in his home studio, a familiar cabin in the woods. As Eli prepares for the release of the first official solo album he considers, he draws from a rich background of community, collaboration, and solitary devotion.

She is perhaps marginally better known as the lead vocalist/guitarist/songwriter for Loose Wing.

She'll be accompanied by vocalist Billie Bloom (Von Wildenhaus, Stargazr), and Olie Eshleman (Corespondents, Annie Ford Band) on guitar and pedal steel.

Ambient guitars, bass, and drums grind together to frame lyrics that explore common anxieties and the passage of time. And sometimes goats.

New release coming Spring 2026, come see this band play live… Born out of the vast networks of the PNW farmers market scene: "...their sound is austere, it's rough hewn, maybe like the hands of the people that grow our food, and maybe like the hands of the people that make our things. Maybe like the plain sounds that emerged during a challenging time and helped strip away the artifice. It looks to find a way to cut through the noise and tell our anxious truths." -Iaan Hughes Music Director KBCS 91.3 Joining Seattle songwriter and guitarist Ben Chandler as The Low Lonesome Sound: Bassist Dylan Olson. A veteran of the Chicago psych rock scene, “…we stood around in parking lots for years and talked about bands like The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Dandy Warhols, The Stooges, The Strokes, The Black Angels, Wilco….now we get to stand around in practice rooms and music venues and talk about our own stuff too. Ask him about his high, pretty vocal harmonies.” Drummer Zachary Pacleb is an artist. Mostly with food. Really, really good food. Turns out he’s also a really, really good drummer. Somebody recently told me, “…everything Zach does is incredible, he’s that kind of guy.” No pressure.

Band of Certainty is a 6 piece rock band from Seattle. This show is in celebration of their newest release, "5 Things 6 Songs". Along with other longtime Seattle musicians, the band features Glen Slater from Sub Pop's The Walkabouts. The Band's currency is song. Each song contains what we like to call Existential Punchlines. What is an Existential Punchline you might ask? Here is an example: "The world is spinning underneath our feet, turning us all into revolutionaries" . And, you might want to argue that this is a Pun rather than an Existential Punchline. Fair enough and we can have that argument at the show. But, do reserve a ticket. The Rabbitbox is our favorite venue and we expect this show will sell out!

"Sound is the way I've always seen my world."Brittany brings that world to cinematic life with Images Issues, their full-length debut as a solo artist, available 3.1.24 on Loosegroove Records. Arriving on the heels of 2022's I Choose to Live — an introductory EP that was championed by outlets like NPR (who hosted Davis for a Tiny Desk Concert) and SPIN Magazine (who praised Davis' "intuitive virtuosity across deeply-felt rock, funk, and R&amp;B") — it's a wildly creative project that obliterates the traditional borders between genre and job. Brittany isn't just the album's vocalist; they're also the songwriter, engineer, co-producer, and multi-instrumentalist responsible for nearly every sound on the album. Those sounds are just as diverse as the person who created them, with Image Issues making room for gospel piano, hip-hop grooves, house beats, jazz chords, self-made samples, and everything in between. It's a wide mix — and it's all Brit.

Under her name, she has released one EP (2021) and two LPs with another on the way in April 2026. All of which have garnered recognition — The Brooklyn Vegan recognizing Big Big Motion as "a lovely slice of folky indie rock with a lush atmosphere and just a little ragged edge,” and My Maze (2023) ended up being one of Gorilla vs Bear’s top albums of 2023. Her songwriting calls back to the lyrical, hanging melodies of Sibylle Baier and Linda Perhacs, with angular, geometric chord progressions that lean in satisfying directions. Rendered through a self-assured and distinctive musical vocabulary, her songs offer an inspired and idiosyncratic take on personal songwriting, with insights into the central pressure points of human experience that run deeper than transparently confessional. Keeley Boyle is a singer-songwriter from Kenai, Alaska. Her songs celebrate her home with portraits of loved ones and northern landscapes. Keeley has been playing music in southcentral Alaska since she was a child and has been involved in Portland, OR, and Nashville, TN scenes as well. Her careful guitar arrangements are artfully supported by the bass playing of Abbey Blackwell in both recordings and live performances. She recently won the Rasmuson Grant, and has caught the eye of publications like Under the Radar and Global Texan Chronicles, which touted her EP Inviting, saying it "has such a natural calm interwoven into its fabric that the message of transformation hits with a special kind of beauty."

When she’s not occupied melting faces, Moore is a songwriter of remarkable depth and sensitivity.

The Nashville Songwriters Ass. Intl. named Jay Gavin, a writer that’s “One to Watch” in June 2023 Often compared to Kris Kristofferson, John Prine and the like! Jay will be promoting a new Nashville recorded project " A Tribute to Hal Bynum" with Outlaw legend Billy Don Burns.Ask around Portland and you’ll quickly uncover Kingman’s reputation as the sort of songwriter who makes other songwriters jealous, even angry. You’ll also hear about his hustle as both a player and writer, as those same songwriters line up to play with him. “I like to alternate between plain-spoken truth and fragmented visions of painfully vivid dreamscapes,” Kingman notes. “Songs need a listener to be complete. And I don’t want to tell the listener what to think or do. It’s our job to present honesty, good or bad: an unfinished song from an unfinished life. And everybody hearing it gets a co-write because each moment is unique.”&nbsp;

"Sound is the way I've always seen my world."Brittany brings that world to cinematic life with Images Issues, their full-length debut as a solo artist, available 3.1.24 on Loosegroove Records. Arriving on the heels of 2022's I Choose to Live — an introductory EP that was championed by outlets like NPR (who hosted Davis for a Tiny Desk Concert) and SPIN Magazine (who praised Davis' "intuitive virtuosity across deeply-felt rock, funk, and R&amp;B") — it's a wildly creative project that obliterates the traditional borders between genre and job. Brittany isn't just the album's vocalist; they're also the songwriter, engineer, co-producer, and multi-instrumentalist responsible for nearly every sound on the album. Those sounds are just as diverse as the person who created them, with Image Issues making room for gospel piano, hip-hop grooves, house beats, jazz chords, self-made samples, and everything in between. It's a wide mix — and it's all Brit.

“A perfectly timed engine is a beautiful thing. A muscle car purrs at idle, humbly coated in grease, smelling of gasoline, it clicks and whines in revolution, betraying its ungodly power to resist the draw of gravity with explosive torque. Arlan Lackie's acoustic guitar is this kind of machine: a wood and wire hot rod he combines with deadpan vocal delivery that you can feel in your chest. Lackie finds all the words needed to describe Lo_Liner's sound in the song "Eye For and Eye" when he sings "...a big vibration, and a rumbl'in force, that ol' machine's gonna win of course". His titanic voice is tendered by his partner in the band Lucile Lackie, whose ethereal harmonies, additions on winding lap steel, make Lo_Liner a band. They're joined by Eric Woodruff on Bass and Jesse Harmonson on Drums, blending influences from old country, blues, folk and rock and roll. Think White stripes meets the Carter Family…or The Handsome Family arguing with Simon and Garfunkel.” Sean Jewel: American Standard Time RecordsMidnight Jasmine is Damian Lester, Ellen Curry, and Tim Chinnock. Sprouted in the sands of Joshua Tree, California, the trio brings their no-frills authenticity to tunes that embody complexity within simplicity. Their sound is something like a cross-pollination of early Gregory Alan Isakov and an acoustic version of Low. With spacious rhythms that carry an effortless groove, and three voices that seem to come from one, their songs reflect the trio’s connection with nature, exploring themes of awakening to love and the inner human experience.“One breath and Amanda Winterhalter’s voice stays with you. One whisper and you lean in to know more.” – Artist Home

Great Comet, the Americana-tinged indie rock project of songwriter Aaron New, has always been a study in motion, but with the release of the sonically expansive second album, Stranger Land, that motion has found a new direction—a deliberate journey through the spaces between. The album is a powerful document of life on the road, of experiencing lasting love alongside devastating loss, and finding a home in the hushed moments of a world seen through a van window. Though the performance pushes into electrifying new territory, the project remains grounded in New’s Appalachian roots, blending a reverence for classic storytelling with a modern indie edge. Stranger Land is more than an album; it’s the title of an ongoing story, capturing a pivotal moment for a project defined by change and proving that for Great Comet, the destination is still unknown, but the path forward has never been more compelling. Seattle-based Old Coast melds a spirited mix of whisky-drinking desert songs with driving rhythms and blue collar harmonies to create a unique brand of Pacific Northwest Americana.

CHARMING DISASTER is a Brooklyn-based goth folk duo whose darkly whimsical sound world blends macabre humor, literary storytelling, and theatrical flair. Formed in 2012 by singer songwriters Ellia Bisker and Jeff Morris, the pair creates tightly woven duets that explore the shadowy borderlands between myth and science, magic and mortality, folklore and the occult. Their music draws inspiration from the murder ballad traditions of Americana, the gothic sensibilities of Edward Gorey and Tim Burton and the intimate drama of cabaret performance. Across seven full length albums, Charming Disaster has developed a signature style that is both playfully sinister and emotionally resonant. Their songs unfold like miniature stories—populated by witches, ghosts, detectives, monsters, and doomed lovers—each delivered with wry wit, intricate harmonies, and a flair for the theatrical. They have shared stages with genre bending acts including Voltaire, Rasputina, and The Dresden Dolls, earning praise for their ability to make the macabre feel mischievous, charming, and unexpectedly fun. Whatever you think is about to happen when MISTER INK emerges holding some weird vaguely recognizable instrument you are probably right and wrong all the same. There will be stories. There will be howling and hollering. There will be oddly captivating rhythms seducing you into his world. A subterranean labyrinth of folk tales, dirty limericks, and salacious magic rooted in the ancient heartbeat of humanity. Somewhere in the mud where myth crashes into meat there is Mister Ink asking you for just a little more time. Mister Ink, the shouting songwriting engine for the enigmatic Peculiar Pretzelmen, strips down the apocalyptic atmosphere to a more negotiable bit of bombast in solo form. The odd instrumentation and primal grooves remain, held together by songs that might be ancient or maybe hastily composed on the way to the stage. Either way, a captivating bit of chaos is sure to occur, tattooing its charms on the dark corners of audiences wherever he appears. THE BLACK MARIAH THEATER have been casting hexes with their sultry-garage rock for years; but it's the twin sisters' infectious energy and angsty-cool attitude during live shows that draw listeners from all over. Combining tantalizing melodies with catchy choruses, along with the band's lyrical storytelling, The Black Mariah Theater will have you entranced from the first note.

With lyrics covering everything from vigilante cryptids to bad trips in abandoned trailers, Adira Sharkey’s songwriting sets her apart in the Americana scene. Her low-slung voice lends itself perfectly to her raw, unfiltered storytelling, where her songs take audiences to the darker side of love, longing, and life’s misadventures. Like any unusual art, her voice isn’t for everyone, even inspiring one YouTube commenter to note “weird voice.” Still others are won over by Adira’s low rasp: “[she’s] like if Cher was country”, explained PNW folk pop favorite Izzy Burns. Often joined by an upright bass player, her rhythmic vocal arrangements and percussive finger picking is complemented with traditional roots music accompaniment, delivering a punchy alt-country sound. She’s honed a bluesy folk feel from years of playing shows up and down the west coast, and has recently had the distinct honor of opening for Grammy nominated artist Kelsey Waldon at Seattle’s Sunset Tavern. Her forthcoming debut album evokes a genre melting blend of Tom Waits and Patsy Cline, with just a pinch of Ani DiFranco.

(We&nbsp;will have both vinyl and cds at these shows!)*Appearing as the intimate DUO version, we may also have a special guest or two

WOLFCHILD is a Portland,OR based Cinematic Folk Rock band with influences ranging from the immersive earthy sounds of Gregory Alan Isakov, Lord Huron, and The Paper Kites to the contemporary experimentation you might expect from Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes, or Andrew Bird. They have performed on stages such as The Troubadour, Mississippi Studios, “The Egg” (Albany, NY), Folklore (UK), and Java (Paris); At festivals like Imagine Music &amp; Arts, Cascade Equinox, Oregon Country Faire, SXSW, Burning Man, 4 Peaks, Summer Meltdown, Northwest Folklife, and many more. At the heart of the project is Gabriel Wolfchild and his brother Elion TruthHeart. Wolfchild weaves music that feels like memory — raw, poetic, and elemental. With his enchanting vocals, unique guitar work and lyrical storytelling, Gabriel invites listeners into deep emotional landscapes that touch the wild edges of the heart. Elion is a virtuoso multi-instrumentalist who effortlessly flows between drums and a variety of exotic string and woodwind accompaniment. He contributes to a rich vocal harmony that only brothers can create. Rooted in folk, shaped by spirit, and carried by the wind of the Pacific Northwest, Wolfchild’s music holds a sense of reverence — for grief, for beauty, for love, for truth. Whether they are singing of inner transformation or the aching beauty of the land, Wolfchild reminds us that vulnerability is power, and that song can be a portal back to what matters most.Kelsey Sprague Band weaves songs that feel like love letters—tender, nostalgic, and achingly human. Our sound blends old soul with indie folk intimacy, evoking the warmth of vintage radio and the ache of a well-worn memory. Every song is a slow dance between heartbreak and hope, written to bring people home to themselves.&nbsp;What Rob Moura hopes you hear when you press play on his music is a familiar language rendered alien. True to his Seattle-based surroundings, the songs he performs as Armour are verdant and waterlogged, and they move with dark clouds permanently affixed above them. Moura’s featherweight vocals and labyrinthine guitar structures may at first recall the classic folk of Nick Drake, and the pieces are similarly plaintive - acoustic guitar, even-keeled vocals, and an unflinching honesty - but the songs themselves are complex coils of emotion, all of them tightened under the repressive pressure of modern-day living.
