A gentle voice, a dagger for a pen. Kate Stephenson has found a way to offer this balance at once. Songs that hurt to relate to, but offer a lifeline if you do. Breaking free of genre&#8217;s limitations, Stephenson shares these blistering stories with stunning arrangements that dare to take on different shapes every time. Her unforgettable writing is the through line, finding the right sounds to express it all is her magic. From intimate, acoustic, profound songs like &#8216;Shoving&#8217; to the full-band-get-up-and-dance &#8216;Summerfoot&#8217;, she can do it all.&#160; Living in Nashville, she&#8217;s finding her ever-changing sound, moving closer and closer every day. Oh, and she&#8217;ll wipe the floor with you at the bowling alley.&#160; &#160; Hayden Everett is a Seattle-based Americana artist blending folk storytelling with jazz-trained musicianship and expansive, atmospheric production. Hayden writes many of his lyrics on solo backpacking trips, guided by a belief that presence gives art its weight. His debut EP, produced with Jeremy McDonald (Kevin Garrett, Vulfpeck, Beyonc&#233;), earned placements on Grey&#8217;s Anatomy and praise from Earmilk, Atwood Magazine, and KCRW. Follow-up releases via Platoon and Nettwerk Music Group featured collaborators like JT Bates (Bonny Light Horseman, Big Red Machine, Taylor Swift, The National), James McAlister (Bon Iver, Sufjan Stevens), and Jack Van Cleaf (Zach Bryan, Noah Kahan).&#160; With over 60 million streams, Hayden has toured with Hazlett, The Paper Kites, Trousdale, and Vacation Manor. His debut full length record, So The Sun Can Pour, was independently released in April of 2026. Hayden recorded the album live with close friends at the cabin in Tahoe, CA that his great grandfather built. It was mixed by Tucker Martine, known for his work with Gregory Alan Isakov, My Morning Jacket, Madison Cunningham, Caamp, Mt. Joy, and more.]]></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. PHELPS - Telecaster, vocals ANDREW COHEN - lead guitar, vocals TIMOTHY MIDYETT - bass, vocals JEFF PANALL - drums &#160; cul de sac is a slowcore band from Missoula, MT based around the songwriting of Miles Hawkins.

                                <description><![CDATA[Tuesday, November 10 // Doors at 7:00 PM // Show at 8:00 PM // $25 ADV // $30 DOS &#160; &#160; Cat Clyde's fourth full-length and first release with Concord Records finds her at a transformative point in her life. Produced by Drew Vandenberg (Faye Webster, S. G. Goodman),&#160;Mud Blood Bone&#160;meets at a sonic crossroads &#8212; the rockabilly grit of Sierra Ferrell melding with the evocative folk rock volatility of Big Thief &#8212; as Clyde charts a long journey to reshape the meaning of love in her life. It&#8217;s a trudge through the swamp and into vast, cleansing waters that finds Clyde at a critical point of personal evolution&#8212;equal parts despair, invocation, discovery, and celebration. &#160; Ahead of and throughout her writing sessions for&#160;Mud Blood Bone, Clyde looked to her indigenous M&#233;tis roots and invoked a deep reverence for nature in efforts to redefine her relationship with love in her life. Learning from the natural world, she took solace in its cyclicality. &#160; The new songs exude nomadic independence: penned in her 1973 Boler trailer on a farm in Ontario, on a narrow boat in England, or in transit from one festival to another, letting lyrics stream freely from a jetlagged dream state. The result is uninhibited, raw, pure; it&#8217;s the sound of personal truth discovered in real time. &#160; &#160; &#160; With I Hope We Can Still Be Friends, his debut for Saddle Creek, Dean Johnson makes a pact with the listener: He will sing you his truth in the most heartfelt and charming way possible, if you promise to keep an open mind. &#160; The title partly stems from the playful way the Seattle-based singer, songwriter and guitarist communes with his audiences at concerts. &#8220;I hope you&#8217;re not afraid to talk to me after the show,&#8221; he&#8217;ll say, sweetly, before launching into &#8220;Death of the Party,&#8221; the album&#8217;s seventh song. Centered on the &#8220;energy vampire&#8221; archetype &#8212; the exasperating windbag we&#8217;ve all encountered at some point &#8212; its lyrics are at once intellectually biting and unmistakably hilarious. His tender voice rings out like the ghost of Roy Orbison or a misfit Everly brother. &#160; &#8220;Words don&#8217;t come easily to me / I notice you don&#8217;t have that problem / It sounds to me you cannot stop them,&#8221; Johnson sings over acoustic guitar strumming, and gentle bass and drums, like the narrator in a dark comedy whose coming-of-age misadventures have made for an excellent film. &#160; Johnson spent years tending bar at Al&#8217;s Tavern in Seattle&#8217;s Wallingford neighborhood. There, he encountered folks of all stripes; and regulars enthusiastically murmured about his budding musical greatness &#8212; There&#8217;s the best songwriter in town! Johnson was a kind of local lore, a long-held family secret, before the singer finally broke out in 2023 with his debut album, Nothing For Me Please, at age 50.]]></description>

With a string of critically acclaimed studio albums &#8211; &#8220;Stark, literate songs that are as wide open as the landscape of his native Midwest&#8221; (The New Yorker), "Beat-up troubadour folk whittled to dolorous perfection&#8221; (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. &#160; Augmenting Foucault'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>

The sludgy five-piece from the small Northern California college town of Chico have worked relentlessly to leave their imprint on metal. Through tours across Europe, around the states and up and down the West Coast, they've continued to spread their name in the best way possible: word of mouth. They don't play dress-up and they don't turn down. They just play crushing songs that go from slow to slower, from muck to mire, from mosh to circle-pit. And sometimes they'll make a left turn and end up at epic. Simply put, it's rock 'n' roll music tuned way down and pissed way off. The upcoming full-length, "The Road Will End," promises to be a complex study in heaviness. One finger chords and single string riffs, complicated by sophisticated voicings and even an occasional solo. No triggers, no wanky "shredding," no posturing, no cowardice, no frills. http://www.armedforapocalypse.com/&#160;&#160;]]></description>

The duo, made up of Kendl Winter and Palmer T. Lee, know that we tend to see duality as a problem. We want life to be linear, working through the dark to finally get to the light. Grief to joy, despair to hope, confusion to clarity&#8211;&#8211;not a jangly cycle we can&#8217;t escape. But through their incandescent folk songs, the Lowest Pair often ask: What if we sit with the mess? What if that&#8217;s not just more peaceful, but more magical, too?&#160; On their 8th album Always As Young As We&#8217;ll Ever Be, the Lowest Pair prove that over the last dozen years together, they&#8217;ve become some of modern roots music&#8217;s most mesmerizing, thoughtful purveyors. Produced by Tucker Martine (The Decemberists), the 10-track album puts the duo&#8217;s stark lyricism, string-driven arrangements, and raw compatibility on brilliant display and as a result, Always As Young As We&#8217;ll Ever Be pulses with life. The Lowest Pair&#8217;s musicianship is another beautiful testament not just to playing that breathes, but playing that listens. Winter, who grew up in Arkansas but has lived in Washington State for the last two decades, and Lee, a Minnesota native, first gained attention as poetic singer-songwriters on banjos. While their family of strings has expanded, their fundamental approach hasn&#8217;t: Respond to sounds and stories the other is making.]]></description>

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>

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>
