TENTS is a husband and wife duo that makes songs about family. They have two prior long play releases, both thanks to Badman Recording Co. (My Morning Jacket, Innocence Mission, STRFKR).

Join TENTS in celebration of "OMG" with Nosila and a very special secret opener (DM the band for dets).

After nearly five years of hiatus, Madison Crawford & The Half of It returns fresh and ferocious to celebrate band leader Matthew Claussen’s birthday.

With a career spanning over 30 years, Spoon Benders is one of the most influential bands in rock history. In 1991, vocalist/guitarist Dave Matthews decided to put some songs he had written on tape and sought the assistance of drummer Carter Beauford and saxophonist LeRoi Moore, who were both accomplished jazz musicians in the local Charlottesville, VA music scene. 16-year-old bassist Stefan Lessard came on board shortly thereafter. The band has sold more than 25 million tickets since its inception. 

Hailing from the gritty underbelly of Seattle, WA, Zookraught is a band that refuses to conform to musical norms. Their sound is a chaotic blend of dance-punk, angular rhythms, and experimental noise, creating a sonic landscape that is both exhilarating and totally original. Their music is a sonic assault on the senses, challenging listeners to question their preconceived notions of what music should be. They are joined by Machine Country and Black Shelton and The American Dream.

The Apricots are a rising indie-folk-rock band from Portland, pairing powerful three-part harmonies and tight 5-piece instrumentation. At their core, they're just a group of best friends that have found purpose in this band. Their songs will make you swoon one minute and groove the next. They are joined by Junaco and Boy Phase. 

Growing up in México and Germany, Papi Fimbres and Shana Lindbeck's destiny led them to meet in Portland, OR. Wanting to honor their heritages in a new and collaborative way, they set out to form DRECKIG, which means dirty in German. Both deeply influenced by Cumbia's melodious rhythms and German electronic compositions, they have created their own unique sound within that realm. They are joined by Perimeters and Cosmos Dark.

Led by Laurel Canyon-based singer-songwriter Jeff Martin, IDAHO are the unsung cult heroes of 90s slowcore. Often grouped amongst post-grunge indie rock pioneers like Low, Songs: Ohia, and Codeine, IDAHO is distinguished by the desert atmospherics of frontman Jeff Martin’s four-string guitar. Across its catalogue of now ten full length releases, including 2024’s return, Lapse, its first new album after a thirteen year hiatus, IDAHO has defined modes of longing, mystery, grace, and dreamy-yet-edgy nuance entirely its own.
