                                <description><![CDATA[Friday, July 31 // Doors 7:00 PM // Show 8:00 PM // $20 ADV // $25 DOS &#160; Refugia Blues, the fifth album from songwriter Nick Shoulders, is a record of big ideas and small, intimate moments. Rooted in the acoustic stylings of Southern traditional music, it findsthe Arkansas native turning off his amp and stepping up to a ribbon microphone as a solo performer, singing in a voice that's equal parts country croon, Appalachian yodel, and high-lonesome field holler. Shoulders' interpretation of American roots music has always been more progressive and punky than the trucks-and-beers conservatism that passes for modern-day country, and Refugia Blues offers songs about climate collapse, radical anthropology, and generative disruption. It balances the macro with the micro, too, making room for love songs and personal topics, packaging humor alongside heavy insights. At once academic and accessible, Refugia Blues isn't just a deep dive into southernness, but also into Shoulders himself. This is a raw, resolute version of American country music, stacked high with songs that go down easy but linger in the minds of those willing to invest the time. &#160; Riddy&#160;Arman&#160;is a Montana-based singer-songwriter whose music is shaped by stark storytelling, solitude, and the emotional weight of life lived on the move. Carried by a voice that feels both weathered and deeply intimate, her songs balance grit with vulnerability, blending stripped down country and folk traditions with unflinching emotional honesty. After gaining widespread attention through her viral Western AF performance,&#160;Arman&#160;released her debut album through La Honda Records and quickly established herself as one of the most compelling emerging voices in independent country music. Currently touring new material and bringing her deeply intimate live show across the country,&#160;Riddy&#160;Arman&#160;delivers the kind of performance that leaves a room silent in all the right ways]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Saturday, July 11 // Doors at 7:00 PM // Show at 7:30 PM // $12 // $15-$20 Artist Supporter &#160; &#160; Fronted by two female vocalists whose voices weave and harmonize throughout each song, Salt &#38; Shadow is anchored by atmospheric guitars, cinematic textures, and a cello that doesn't sit in the background...it sings alongside them. The result is hypnotic, heavy, and deeply spiritual, echoing the moody expanse of Pink Floyd, the harmonic richness of Fleetwood Mac, and the emotional unease of Radiohead.&#160; &#160; &#160; Wes Urbaniak is an amalgamation of songwriting, storytelling and unique craftsmanship. His music is real, honest, bold and a little odd in the best way possible. The experiences of his life have created stories through his songs. He pushes the limits within the human mind while opening up the possibilities for the human spirit to explore what's dwelling within. There are so many special things about this band and its music, its artistic - through reclamation - endeavors, and its call to persist through the hard things is exceptional. For instance, even the instruments represent the story of the music. Each instrument contains original reclaimed Red Rocks Amphitheater bench redwood - *Wes is the Luthier behind the magical matter. You should watch the band try to explain it in its most simplest way. By listening to the music and thumbing through the story you&#8217;ll discover one of the most beautiful efforts whispered into song in these times while finding what's good and holding care for the world we live in. It has been a bit of a destiny for Wes Urbaniak to bring his music through these instruments out into the world.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Monday, July 27 // Doors at 7:00 PM // Show at 7:30 PM // $12 ADV // $15 DOS &#160; Hudson Powder Company&#8217;s music is about synesthesia - where a person perceives certain sounds as having distinct colors or tastes. I have a mild case of it - whenever I hear a univibe pedal I get the feeling that the sound it is making is somehow purple. In my view, every band that&#8217;s worth anything does a kind of painting with synesthetic associations. A single sound might have a color, but the great bands and artists are the ones who knew how to make the right colors play together in some way. I don&#8217;t know of anyone ever trying to &#8220;paint&#8221; Idaho and the Inland Northwest in this way - trying to uproot this kind of mood that&#8217;s implicit in our landscapes. That mood was already in nature, wanting out. Our group is trying to let it out, in one way. But I do believe that the Lexicon LXP-1 Digital Reverb &#8220;sounds&#8221; like a blue sagebrush, the bass guitar &#8220;sounds&#8221; like volcanic basalt somehow. The lyrics to the songs are what they are, they just say what they mean like any other lyric. But they&#8217;re supposed to be set against a kind of backdrop - the high desert that most people fly over or drive through and never pay much mind to. There&#8217;s something there though, some kind of a landscape of sounds that has been mostly ignored&#8230; like a fossil. Thanks for reading. Spotify &#160; &#160;]]></description>

(Painting by Paula Wittner) &#160;https://paulawittner.com/ &#160; Two bands, a handful of original compositions, and boundless possibilities.&#160; The Absent Wilson Conspiracy&#160;explores acoustic and electric jazz through spacious original compositions and contemporary standards. Drawn by a deep love of the collective improvisation at the heart of jazz,&#160;&#160;the &#8216;conspirators share a belief that the essence of a song is the shape of the story- its journey through emotion and sound. While each tune is written in the notes on the page, each journey is entirely its own, moving through the spaces between the notes and beyond. &#160; Who the hell is Shark Buffalo, that mysterious &#252;bergroup from a long-forgotten Missoula music scene of yore? More importantly, what the hell IS a shark buffalo? Do you picture a buffalo's body with a shark's head, like some kind of aquatic centaur? Or do you prefer to envision an elasmobranch fish characterized by a cartilaginous skeleton fused with the head and torso of a bearded bovinae? I digress. Shark Buffalo is comprised of a holy musical trinity: Keys, Drums, and Trumpet, with Cove Jasmin, Emmet Ore, and Nathan Crawford.]]></description>

In the age of quick fixes and short attention spans, Harrie counters with lyric heavy, chronicles of love and longing, addiction, and the reconciliation of death in its many forms. Wrapping up his ninth studio LP in 2026, solo singer songwriter William Harries has no plans of slowing down, or hastening his pace for that matter. He simply wishes to sink further into his rhythm, honing his craft the old fashioned way. Songwriting in its truest form, impervious to the pressures of the modern world and self promoting nature of the music industry.]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Tuesday August 25 // Doors at 7:00 PM // Show at 8:00 PM // $25 &#160; SILKWORM is a storied and beloved rock band, revered among many of those in the know. From western Montana by way of Seattle and Chicago, &#8220;the Worm&#8221; is the subject of an upcoming book (Lay It Down in Full View), a feature-length documentary (Couldn't You Wait: The Story of Silkworm), and gratifyingly detailed essays across a variety of publications both print and online.&#160; Most importantly, the band released nine richly distinctive, influential albums and "a bunch" of singles, EPs, and compilations over an eighteen-year period, as well as touring worldwide in North America, Europe, and Asia, notably playing every state in the continental USA except Delaware. Joel R.L. Phelps founded Silkworm in 1987 and left the band in 1994. Andy Cohen, Tim Midyett, and Michael Dahlquist continued on as a trio for many prolific, creatively fertile years thereafter. The group disbanded immediately&#8211;and apparently permanently&#8211;upon Michael&#8217;s horrific murder in July 2005.&#160; In late July 2024, the surviving band members realized they would be in the same place at the same time&#8211;at a weekend-long memorial for their longtime engineer Steve Albini. They decided to reunite officially for a short set there to pay tribute to their dear friend. Jeff Panall (Songs: Ohia and Tim's band Mint Mile) joined them on drums. The experience of playing together as a quartet for the first time in thirty years was highly emotional and rewarding. The four of them discussed trying to regroup for some additional events...which led them to poking at the best possible options for doing so. After a quite successful summer and fall of shows in the central US in 2025, they are setting out on tour in May (central/eastern US) and August (western US) of 2026.JOEL R.L.

In late 2019, Maq surprised everyone by releasing her solo debut, Pleaser, a refreshingly bright and catchy missive of electro-pop tunes about heartbreak and love. A suite of singles in 'Someone Stranger' with Alice Ivy, 'Joe Rogan', 'tropical lush ice' and live EP recorded at the Sydney Opera House showcase the breadth of her taste and range. Ever since, Georgia has chased a more genuine form of pop music in her solo career, a vision hat retains all of the glamour and universality but feels unburdened from capitalist underpinnings. Mining the evergreen themes of romantic, sexual and self-love, Georgia Maq&#8217;s solo venture was not so much a transformation as it was a revelation. Opening up on her vulnerabilities and heartbreaks, her continued evolution is far beyond the Greek girl from Naarm that first set fire to the rain.]]></description>

With a string of critically acclaimed studio albums &#8211;&#160;&#8220;Stark, literate songs that are as wide open as the landscape of his native Midwest&#8221;&#160;(The New Yorker),&#160;&#8220;Beat-up troubadour folk whittled to dolorous perfection&#8221;&#160;(Uncut), &#8220;Songwriting Brilliance,&#8221; (Irish Times) &#8211; he&#8217;s built a brick-and-mortar international touring career and a devoted following, one that includes luminaries like Van Dyke Parks, Greil Marcus, and Don Henley. &#160; In September of 2024 Jeffrey Foucault released THE UNIVERSAL FIRE (Fluff &#38; Gravy, 9/6/24), his first album of entirely new material since 2018. A series of high-voltage performances cut live in one room, the album is both a working wake &#8211; Foucault lost his best friend and drummer Billy Conway, to cancer in 2021 &#8211; and a meditation on the nature of beauty, artifact, and loss. Augmenting Foucault&#8217;s all-star band with members of Calexico and Bon Iver (drummer John Convertino and producer/saxophonist Mike Lewis) THE UNIVERSAL FIRE sets Conway&#8217;s death against the massive 2008 fire at the Universal Studios lot in California that destroyed the master recordings of some of our bedrock American music, to interrogate ideas about mortality, legacy, meaning, and calling.]]></description>

Sturtz released their second studio album Hyacinth in September 2024, and they're hard at work writing songs for their next album now. When they&#8217;re not playing music, you&#8217;ll probably find them&#160; gardening, honing in on their photography skills, or parading their giant dog around town. &#160; Some things are just meant to last. When Sarah Anderson and Paul DeHaven met and began playing together in 2004, they had no idea just how deep the well of their musical partnership would prove to be. After the disbanding of indie-folk sweethearts Paper Bird, the duo founded Heavy Diamond Ring and never looked back. HDR is the culmination (thus far) of their signature sound, a fountain of open-hearted, folk-rock, steeped in vocal harmony and group synergy. Led by Anderson's smooth-as-honey vocals and DeHaven's rugged guitar chops, the band has been described as "open-road, long drive music", having "a little bit of twang, and a whole lot of beef&#8221;, and their live show as "infectious and contagious". The band is rounded out by veteran knockouts Blake Stepan (bass), Mike Lang (keys), and Orion Tate Ignelzi (drums). Their second full-length LP, "All Out of Angels", out this fall, was produced by Ben Wysocki (the Fray) and Mark Anderson and features a duet with Nathaniel Rateliff. Out now on Cowboy Cowabunga Recordings.&#160; "Heavy Diamond Ring creates a sound that feels as classic as rolling down the windows in the summer - a super highway to a new frontier." -303 Magazine "...a helping of contemporary indie-folk that goes down easy, augmented by some subtle, snaky guitar work, walls of harmony vocals and Anderson's attention-grabbing vocals." -CS Indy&#160;]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Wednesday, September 2 // Doors at 7 PM // Show at 8 PM // $15 ADV // $18 DOS &#160; Before I started my career I had a choice: to take over my parent's thoroughbred farm in New Jersey or pursue music full time in California and relinquish the farm to sale.&#160; I still wonder what life would have looked like had I stayed, but who can resist the gold rush?&#160; Besides, I plan to get back there one day on another farm with some other red barn.&#160; My music comes from life&#8217;s moments -- smelling 4 acres of freshly cut grass, watching the steam from a horse's breath in the early morning, finally holding the neck of my guitar after holding bridles and worn wooden handles all day.&#160; 4000 acres of freshly burnt wildfire, watching the steam from the Pacific Ocean's breath in the early morning, finally holding the neck of my guitar after clutching the worn steering wheel of the tour van all day.&#160;&#160; Now my reality is in Bonny Doon, CA, where mountains meet the sea. I am in my recording studio, aptly named Hippie Cowboy, every day.&#160; Slow and steady; keep it fun, stay engaged.&#160; All for the moment when the song finally sounds right.&#160; My dad passed away a couple years ago -- his bullwhip is on the wall, his Harley is in the driveway. He visits me in dreams, and oh, the moment I wake up!&#160; Sometimes I write for him. Sometimes for my mom, who I hope will move out to California soon. &#160; Maybe she could volunteer at an equestrian center...&#160; A person is made from their moments, like their music is made.&#160; I know this is a bio but I shouldn't have to say much.&#160; Listen to the record.&#160; If I've done my job well, you will know me by the end. &#160; Spotify // Bandcamp // Instagram // Facebook&#160;]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Sunday, August 9 // 7:30 PM Show // 7:00 PM Doors // $15 &#160; Bart Budwig is a son of Idaho, a cosmic country crooner, a rousing trumpet player, and cryin&#8217;-style soul singer. His music is made up of seemingly incongruous parts; thrum &#38; strum country rhythms, jazz guitar melodies, R&#38;B vocals. When Bart sings he draws out words into meditative mantras, whole note neologisms that keep you hanging on until his raspy voice trails off in a ragged edge. His forthcoming album, Another Burn On The AstroTurf (January 24, 2020, Fluff and Gravy Records) was recorded over five days by a seven-piece band inside the OK Theater. It&#8217;s a melancholy rhapsody that recalls the uncorked rock n&#8217; roll spirituality of king mystic Van Morrison, the gloomy nostalgia of dark prince Nick Drake and the songcraft sans self-seriousness of 70s Muscle Shoals. Like those psycho-spiritual song crafters, his power comes from vocal idiosyncrasies &#8211; intonations of love, impermanence, hope, humor. The album opens with Budwig originals &#8220;Time For Two&#8221;, &#8220;First To Go&#8221;, and &#8220;Strong Coffee&#8221;&#8211; originally presented with just solo guitar (and crackling wood stove) on the album Sabai. The songs are recorded here live, full band, in medley, with hot electric guitar, woody double bass, and drums. The band electrifies and scourges the flesh of the songs into fully formed folk rock stunners. There is what the Romans called a &#8220;divine lustre&#8221; about Bart Budwig. His blonde hair and beard wrap around his collar,and frame his smile in a nimbus of gold. His radiance belies the loyalty he commands of an army of talent. He&#8217;d sooner tell you a joke than reveal to you he&#8217;s recorded dozens of albums and hundreds of songs in the last few years. Bart&#8217;s mastery of dramatic irony turns his work with complex emotional states of being into comforting, uplifting, relatable music. It&#8217;s this ability to combine tragedy and comedy in his humanist hallelujahs that makes Budwig a gravitational force and industry chimera. The studio general, the clown prince, the sensitive songwriter with a rugged voice. The soul singer with a cosmic country band. The creator of a folk universe drawing musicians from everywhere to the middle of nowhere. It&#8217;s this juxtaposition that makes Another Burn On The AstroTurfanother success for Bart Budwig, and a must listen for you. - Sean Jewell]]></description>

                                <description><![CDATA[Saturday, August 1 // 7:00 PM Doors // 8:00 PM Show // $25 ADV // $30 DOS Seating will be limited to only those that need it &#160; James McMurtry released&#160;The Black Dog and the Wandering Boy&#160;on June 20th via New West Records. &#160;The 10-song collection was co-produced by McMurtry &#38; Don Dixon (R.E.M., The Smithereens) and is his first album in four years. &#160;It follows his 2021 acclaimed new West debut,&#160;The Horses and the Hounds, which UnCut Magazine said &#8220;lifts storytelling-in-song to meticulous new levels" and Pitchfork awarded an 8.0, saying &#8220;James McMurtry stands out even among the Lone Star State&#8217;s finest songwriters&#8230;&#8221; The&#160;Black Dog and the Wandering Boy&#160;features appearances by Sarah Jarosz, Charlie Sexton, Bonnie Whitmore, Bukka Allen and more, alongside his trusted backing band, THE MARTIAL LAW REVIEW, Tim Holt on guitar and accordion, Cornbread on bass and Daren Hess on drums. As varied as they are, McMurtry&#8217;s new story-songs find inspiration in scraps from his family&#8217;s past: a rough pencil sketch by Ken Kesey that serves as the album cover, the hallucinations experienced by his father, the legendary writer Larry McMurtry, an old poem by a family friend. &#160;A supremely insightful and inventive storyteller, McMurtry teases vivid worlds out of small details, setting them to arrangements that have elements of Americana but sound too sly and smart for such a general category. Funny and sad often in the same breath, The Black Dog and the Wandering Boy adds a new chapter to a long career that has young songwriters like Sarah Jarosz and Jason Isbell cite him as a formative influence.]]></description>
