SUMMARY:Esther Rose / Sharon Silva & Erisy Watt at Trout Lake Hall
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, August 6th\, 2026 \n$23 Advance // $28 Day Of Show6pm Doors / 7pm ShowAll Ages \nESTHER ROSE \nEsther Rose was on a long solo drive when she started writing the opening title track of Want\, her stunning fifth album. At first\, the words seemed almost like a joke\, something to keep herself amused as the miles passed. “I want a puppy\, but I don’t want a mess. I want to know where I’m going without GPS\,” she sang from behind the wheel. Soon\, the idea snowballed into a list of desires that spanned existential\, spiritual\, and mundane; romantic to platonic to familial; at once wildly ambitious yet piercingly relatable; all set to a catchy melody that blends her pop instincts with country storytelling and the raw immediacy of a basement punk show. In other words\, she was on her way to another classic Esther Rose song. \nThis precise blend has made the Santa Fe-based artist one of her generation’s most beloved songwriters: someone whose live shows are known to conclude in mass tears and group hugs. Still\, something was different this time. “For me\, these songs felt like revelations\,” she explains\, comparing the 11-song record to a memoir\, alive with kinetic storytelling and personal insight. In its newly direct and stirringly nuanced writing\, you’ll hear about rock bottom encounters\, shifting relationships with substances\, evolving perspectives on adult partnership\, and\, as evidenced by those early lines in “Want\,” a few jokes along the way. Vivid and bracing\, Want places you in the passenger seat while each of these feelings arrive. \nTo match the multi-dimensional tone of the writing\, Rose has made the most adventurous\, hardest-hitting record of her career. Working with producer Ross Farbe and recording live-to-tape in Nashville’s Bomb Shelter\, she travels as far as she’s been from the stripped-down classic country of celebrated early work like 2017’s This Time Last Night and 2019’s You Made It This Far. Following the wide-open serenity of 2023’s momentous Safe to Run\, she now leans toward confrontational arrangements full of distortion and full-band spontaneity\, never sacrificing a classicist’s gift for melody that makes each song instantly memorable. \n“Making this album was the most beautiful experience of my life\,” Rose explains\, describing the euphoria of sharing these intimate stories among trusted collaborators like guitarist Kunal Prakash\, drummer Howe Pearson\, bassist Gina Leslie\, and pedal steel player John James Tourville. She also enlisted friends like singer-songwriter Dean Johnson (who duets in the stunning “Scars”) and New Orleans rock band Video Age (who she co-wrote “tailspin” with) to flesh out her vision. Ranging from stark solo performances to grungy blowouts\, the album maintains a steady focus while never staying too long in one place. (Like David Bowie\, Rose would arrive at the studio in carefully chosen outfits to set the tone for each session\, guiding her bandmates to follow the mood.) \nTo reach this level of confidence\, Rose had to recalibrate her entire relationship with music. When she concluded the tour for Safe to Run\, she considered quitting altogether\, feeling exhausted and depleted\, seeing no way to continue at her relentless pace. But after quitting drinking and finding new momentum in therapy\, she devoted herself to the new material\, letting ideas flow without worrying about the final product. She considered making an electro-pop album; a self-titled acoustic record. Eventually\, she began categorizing her disparate ideas under the working title The Therapy LP. \n“There are things that I have tiptoed around in my writing—and in my life—that I wasn’t ready to look at\,” she reflects\, “and now I’m going for it.” The results are breakthroughs like “Had To” and “Rescue You” that tether her tightly structured melodies to narratives that bring distressing subject matter down to earth. And where her love songs in the past often found universal resonance in simple questions about heartbreak\, these ones explore complex subjects like accountability and true connection: “Baby\, I’ve got scars that you cannot see/Love them for what they gave to me\,” she sings boldly in “Scars.” \nThis level of vulnerability is new from Esther Rose—a vow to be known more fully by her audience\, herself\, and the people in her life. “Each time I write a new album\, I go a little deeper\,” she says. “For me\, it’s been very challenging to stay… I’m always packing the Subaru in my mind.” And while she can still craft a road song like nobody else—“Two days on the highway\, solo drive/Today is the greatest day of my life\,” she sings in “tailspin”—she now searches for stability\, even when that means confronting internal chaos. The album’s closing song\, titled “Want Pt. 2\,” returns Rose to her old hometown of New Orleans during Mardi Gras\, watching a Rolling Stones cover band in a bar she frequented back in the day. She’s teary-eyed\, surrounded by loved ones\, finding new profundity in a shaky rendition of “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” As she reflects on the scene—even interpolating some of the Stones’ lyrics and melodic cues—her friends provide celebratory backing vocals as the band thrashes away. It’s a fitting finale for the strongest\, widest-reaching album of her career—a moment when the past\, present\, and future collide\, a panorama of emotions\, the kind of party you never want to leave. \nSHARON SILVA AND ERISY WATT \nSharon Silva and Erisy Watt are heading out together this summer\, playing a run of West Coast shows from Seattle down through the California coast and desert. \nBoth Los Angeles–based musicians\, they bring distinct voices united by a shared love of songwriting and performing live. Sharon\, a founding member of The Wild Reeds\, writes songs that blend indie rock\, folk\, and Americana while often exploring themes of grief\, personal growth\, and relationships. Her debut solo album\, Underachiever\, traces her journey from arriving in Los Angeles as a teenager through years of touring\, the loss of loved ones\, and the peace that comes from learning to lean on yourself. \nDescribed by No Depression as “what contemporary folk sounds like at its peak\,” Erisy Watt writes songs that move between quiet contemplation and playful curiosity. Her latest album\, not either or but everything\, explores connection\, impermanence\, and adaptation\, drawing in part from the decade she spent teaching ecological field courses throughout Southeast Asia. \nThough their paths to Los Angeles were different—Sharon arriving as a teenager from a small agricultural town in Central California\, Erisy by way of Nashville\, Santa Barbara\, and Portland—both have spent the better part of the past decade writing\, recording\, touring\, and building community through music. \nThey met over drinks one winter evening earlier this year\, sketched out a rough tour route on a cocktail napkin\, and decided to take their songs on the road together. Each evening will feature solo performances from both artists\, moments of accompaniment\, and a full band at several of the shows.

SUMMARY:*SOLD OUT* Apocalypse\, Never! Tour Nick Shoulders / Kassi Valazza at Trout Lake Hall
DESCRIPTION:**Tickets Presale release Wednesday April 8 at 10am!** \nFriday\, August 7th\, 2026 \n$28 Advance // $35 Day Of Show6pm Doors / 7pm ShowAll Ages \nNICK SHOULDERS \nRefugia Blues\, the fifth album from Nick Shoulders\, is a record of big ideas and small\, intimate moments. \nThese nine songs are rooted in the stylings of Southern traditional music. Sparse\, timeless\, and unamplified\, they’re older than the sounds Shoulders saluted on albums like 2023’s All Bad\, with its loud\, whooping anthems for roadhouses and sweaty dancehalls. Here\, Shoulders isn’t shouting over a band. He isn’t bringing a crowd to its feet with dance-ready tempos. Rather\, he’s exploring another side of his craft by stepping up to a ribbon microphone as a solo performer\, delivering each song with acoustic instruments and a voice that’s equal parts country croon\, Appalachian yodel\, and high-lonesome field holler. As he explains it\, Refugia Blues isn’t just a call to action; it’s a call to rest\, too. \n“This is my Nebraska\,” he says\, nodding to Bruce Springsteen’s lo-fi acoustic record from 1982. “Some people listen to Bruce for the E Street Band and the big radio hits\, but I like the intimacy and rawness of Nebraska instead. I’d like to think of Refugia Blues as a little window into the heart\, as opposed to the drumbeat of a revolution.” \nEven so\, Refugia Blues resolutely pushes for change. 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 he isn’t checking his activism at the door anytime soon. Refugia Blues does dive into personal territory\, from “Bored Fightin'” (a self-effacing look at Shoulders’ reputation as a left-of-center radical) to the heart-on-sleeve love song “Tatum Spring\,” but it balances the micro with the macro\, too. Topics like climate collapse\, radical anthropology\, generative disruption\, and southern identity run throughout the record\, adding weight to Shoulders’ melodies\, balancing his witty humor with topical weight. The purpose\, he says\, is to utilize his music as “a Trojan Horse that can be accepted by people who don’t hear anything to challenge their sense of comfort and superiority. That’s always been the goal — to say what needs to be said\, but to intersperse it with joy\, humor\, and melody.” \nIt’s a balance that Shoulders has struck in the past\, but never so nakedly alone as he does on the opening track\, “Apocalypse Never.” He wrote the a cappella ballad in the front seat of his band’s shuttle bus\, taking a hard look at each passing town\, noting all the “individualized apocalypses” — houseless encampments\, impoverished communities\, barren cornfields — that unfolded on the other side of the windshield. “Our world has been through countless apocalypses\,” he says. “The refusal to give in to the direness of our circumstances\, while still acknowledging it\, is key to surviving this moment in our history.” \nFor Shoulders\, singing isn’t just a passion; it’s practically a birthright. Born to a musical family with deep roots in Arkansas\, Appalachia\, and Louisiana\, he grew up listening to old-world folk music\, black gospel\, and other sounds that existed long before genres were even invented. “My vocal style is rooted as much in growing up in mountainous Arkansas and having to shout across vast distances to greet my neighbors as it is in my family’s very old way of singing\,” he says. “The way I sing is older than capitalism. Being part of this tradition isn’t meant to be regressive; it’s meant to be liberating. There were time before cash registers and factories\, where people sang like this when they sowed their corn\, and I’m trying to embody that.” \nRefugia Blues was recorded in a home studio outside of Fayetteville\, Arkansas. Tracked to analog tape in two inspired days and laced with light touches of guitar\, banjo\, and fiddle\, the album explores the slower\, softer textures of Shoulders’ music without pulling any punches. On his bare-boned cover of Randy Travis’ “Diggin’ Up Bones\,” he slows down the uptempo classic to a warbling waltz. On “Deux Hurry\,” he taps into his inner Roger Miller\, using wordplay to make light of the darkness that lives within all of us. On “Hill Folk\,” he nods sympathetically to the southerners who’ve witnessed their cultural inheritance become commodified and commercialized over the past half-century. And on the brave\, bold “Dixie Be Damned\,” he sings about “manifest destitution” and the sickness of contemporary American consciousness\, packaging everything into a three-and-a-half minute country gem that’s as tuneful as it is topical. \nBy bridging the gap between past and present\, Shoulders speaks pointedly and poetically about today’s problems\, even as he nods to styles that existed long before the 21st century. “When you listen to the origins of country music in the ’20s and ’30s\, you’re hearing the voice of southern rural dissent against coal companies\, repression\, and depression\,” he says. “The old ballad singers of the Ozarks were conduits for current events\, documenting not only their own lives\, but also dispossession and economic strife on a much bigger scale. Being part of that great stream of rural protest music is something I’m trying to tap into. I want to say things that feel timeless\, deep\, and rooted\, but also touch on topics like endless war and a government collapsing into dictatorship. I want to be part of that tradition of dissent.” \nAt once academic and accessible\, Refugia Blues isn’t just a deep dive into southernness\, but also into Shoulders himself. Released during an era of big-budget country-pop smashes\, it stands tall as something else entirely: a raw\, resolute version of American country music\, punctuated with humor and heavy insights\, stacked high with songs that go down easy but linger in the minds of those willing to invest the time. \nKASSI VALAZZA \n“Sometimes it takes four or five tries to realize something just isn’t working\,” says Kassi Valazza. “I wrote this after my thirteenth try.” She’s referring to the song “Roll On” specifically\, but the stagnating pull of repeating patterns—and the brutalizing work of breaking them—inform every song on her new album From Newman Street. “In songwriting and in life\, you can’t keep expecting the same thing to work every time.” \nValazza grew up between Prescott and Phoenix\, Arizona. She penned her first song at age ten but in those early efforts to perform\, found herself halted by stage fright of a clinical level. “I’ve gone to therapy for it\,” she says\, half-laughing. She didn’t stop writing music but she let less paralyzing means of expression lead the way\, eventually enrolling in arts school for painting\, an illustrative instinct that inevitably reveals itself in her vivid songwriting. It wasn’t until she relocated to the Pacific Northwest as an adult that Valazza picked back up the proverbial—and actual—guitar. \n“Zach Bryson was kind of like the honky tonk ambassador of Portland when I got there\,” Valazza says. “He was so welcoming and encouraging.” She discovered an inspiring\, supportive artistic community\, a less rigid relationship with musical output\, and then—vocal nodules. “It was actually kind of the best thing that could have happened\, because I learned about the crossover of physical and mental that takes place in performance.” Recovery entailed recognizing the reflexive functions of the voice in response to anxiety; as is the case throughout the human body\, stress reactions can be damaging. “Because I suddenly understood what was happening with my voice\, I could handle it\, wield it. I felt more confident.” Valazza recorded an album with Bryson in an old-house-turned-studio. It was an informal\, friendly endeavor\, though not at all small. “I think probably thirty people contributed\,” she says. “I listen back to that album and I think ‘this was me learning how to do this.’ I can hear that moment in time.”  \nValazza’s debut Dear Dead Days fused the Southwest’s rustic romance with the Pacific Northwest’s rocky realism and garnered Valazza a cult following. She landed a deal with Fluff & Gravy\, a label known for launching earthy\, emerging treasures like Anna Tivel and Margo Cilker\, and toured with folk favorites including Melissa Carper and Riddy Arman. Her sophomore album Kassi Valazza Knows Nothing followed\, a glimmering set of sonic talismans among Ann Powers’ Favorite Songs of 2023 for NPR and Bandcamp’s Best Country Music of 2023\, with praise from KEXP\, Uncut\, MOJO\, and Brooklyn Vegan to boot. \nBy the time Valazza was ready to record her third album\, she had spent a decade in Portland—and that\, she realized\, was enough. “As someone with anxiety\, I always want to know what’s going to happen\,” she says. “But knowing can be limiting. Getting comfortable with the uncomfortable\, that’s growth. That’s what this album’s about\, really.”  \nOn “Weight of the Wheel\,” a weepy slide guitar underscores Valazza’s listless lament: All things look the same / From the pillow on my bed / I’m stressed out I’m far away / There’s dizzy dancing in my head. The song sounds like urgency\, grief\, surrender\, and embrace—all at once. It’s feeling like some kind of fight to outgrow / The way I fear slowing down before I’m old. By 2022\, that dizzy demise of cyclical living had set Valazza still—in a basement apartment there in Portland. “You’re going to be a different person after every album\,” she says. “And you have to keep moving forward.”  \nSights set on Nashville\, Valazza landed in New Orleans. “It wasn’t the plan. I spent three months there between tours\, and it just kind of happened.” The bright newness of The Big Easy illuminated fresh inspirations and unexpected love. But it also cast a stark light on Valazza’s sense of self; in a new place\, you can see more clearly what you want to be\, as well as what you haven’t been. “I discovered the less likeable parts of myself in that time\,” Valazza says. Album standout “Your Heart’s a Tin Box” encapsulates precisely this\, with a cynical-yet-sunny likeness to Joni Mitchell and lyrical acuity: I moved down to New Orleans / Thinking love would reappear / But people tell you everything / but what you wanna hear / You relied on fixated company / Now you’re drowning in your ego’s gluttony. The patterns of her Portland life had stalled Valazza. It wasn’t the city’s fault so much as the natural consequence of complacency\, the stagnance that comes with too much of the same. Valazza knew she was due for a personal evolution\, and when faced with those innate\, bristling pangs of change\, could soothe herself with that certainty. \nThe track sequence on From Newman Street is audibly intentional—from a deep lull and dull itch\, to a barbed clash with cognitive dissonance\, to humble submission\, and an ultimate\, open-armed acceptance of new life. Poetically enough\, half the songs on the upcoming album were written in Portland\, the other half in New Orleans. Valazza returned to her former hometown to record with Matt Thomson at Echo Echo Studios\, and titled the release From Newman Street in tribute to an apartment she lived in deeply and left with heavy heart. The album is as much a fond farewell as it is a fervent step forward.  \nValazza made the official move to New Orleans in February of 2024. “Coming from placid\, wintry Portland straight into Mardi Gras—I would not recommend it.” She recalls the time with humor\, grace\, and sensitivity for her past self\, qualities that shine through the album. “I’ve always been a believer that music is only good if it’s really raw\, really honest—probably coming from a place of hurt\,” Valazza admits. “But I’m trying to embrace chaos these days\, and bring a little more light into my life.”

SUMMARY:Bonnie Paine / Alexis Mahler at Trout Lake Hall
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, August 8\, 2026 \n$23 Advance // $28 Day Of Show6pm Doors / 7pm ShowAll Ages \nBONNIE PAINE \nBonnie Paine is a luminous force in contemporary roots music\, known for performances that feel both intimate and electrifying. Celebrated as the ethereal voice and multi-instrumentalist behind Elephant Revival\, Bonnie has captivated audiences with her unique songwriting on cello\, musical saw\, guitar and various percussion instruments; from big calf skin bass drums to djembe\, to her signature snared electric washboard and stomp box. She has shaped a sound that blends Americana\, Indie Art Rock\, Acoustic Folk\, Alternative and Celtic influences into something deeply transportive and soul-stirring. \nOn May 8\, 2026\, Bonnie steps into a new light with the release of her highly anticipated debut solo album\, Unseen\, weaving together an intimate collection of melodies that are as haunting as they are restorative. \nHer songs carry a rare kind of authenticity- earthy yet ethereal\, grounded yet expansive. Her voice moves effortlessly from tender vulnerability to soaring\, spine-tingling power. There’s a natural\, almost elemental quality to her singing\, as though it rises from the landscapes that inspire her. Whether delivering a hushed ballad or an impassioned anthem\, she invites listeners into a space of reflection\, connection\, and awe. \nBorn in the Oklahoma countryside and rooted in the mountains of Colorado\, Bonnie’s songwriting is deeply influenced by the geography of the heart and the natural world. Her sound is richly layered yet beautifully uncluttered\, allowing harmonies and acoustic textures to breathe. Lyrics unfold poetically\, creating music that feels like a journey through both inner and outer landscapes. In every note\, Bonnie Paine radiates sincerity and creative courage. Her artistry doesn’t just entertain\, it uplifts\, awakens\, and reminds listeners of the quiet magic woven through everyday life. \nAs a multi-instrumentalist\, her performances feel alive and organic. There’s a sense of joyful spontaneity in the way she inhabits the stage\, balancing playful charisma with deep emotional presence. Bonnie’s concerts move like a living soundtrack: part stripped down vulnerability\, part slow-burn crescendo\, part rhythmic propulsion.  \nWhile she has long been a collaborative force in the indie-folk scene\, she has shared that her most fleshed-out musical concepts come to her in solitude. Now\, that inner world takes center stage. Marking a major milestone in her career\, this new chapter invites listeners into an intimate\, evocative space where her warmly haunting vocals and intricate arrangements\, refined through years of world travel and creative exploration\, finally find a home of their very own. \nALEXIS MAHLER \nLike a late summer bloom casting shadows in the sunlight\, Alexis Mahler’s singular voice creates moments that are precious and delicate; heart-breaking and soul warming. \nMichigan-made\, and classically trained\, Mahler has made a musical home for herself in Portland\, Oregon. Quieting rooms with her intimate blend of classical\, jazz\, and folk – she has endeared herself to audiences across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Her music contains thoughtful\, elegant strings layered with memorable\, and sweetly delivered vocal melodies. In her own words: “Music should be connective\, accessible\, expressive\, expansive\, often imperfect\, healing – a release”. \nBetween teaching private music lessons and performing\, Mahler can be found doing session work for songwriters\, both local and long-distance. Over the years she has collaborated with Matt Costa\, Sleater-Kinney\, Mayer Hawthorne\, Jacob Miller\, Shook Twins\, Cyrus Nabipoor\, Integer\, Whitney\, Erisy Watt\, Hanna Haas\, and many others.

SUMMARY:Sunday Serenade: Savannah Clancy & Ben Larsen
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, August 16th\, 2026 \n$20 Advance // $25 Day Of Show11:30am Doors / 12:30pm ShowAll Ages*Limited Tickets* \nSunday Serenade is Trout Lake Hall’s new brunch music series. Each Sunday features an intimate\, two-hour live set dedicated to a single style—jazz\, Americana\, groovy indie\, country\, folk—paired with delicious\, chef-crafted brunch. With limited tickets and cozy seating\, it’s a relaxed\, up-close experience—perfect for lingering over food and gentle Sunday tunes. Come in for a real Sunday Funday! \nSAVANNAH CLANCY \nSavannah Clancy is a folk singer-songwriter who moves through the world like the seasons — always changing\, always returning. Rooted in the wild elements and the ancient rhythms of ancestry and place\, her music is an intimate conversation between the human heart and the living earth. Writing songs since the age of twelve\, Savannah has long understood songwriting as a sacred alchemy — a way of transforming the raw material of life into something that connects\, heals\, and endures. \nHer debut album Roots in the Water (March 2024) offered love songs for the earth and a prayer for the planet — music born from deep reverence for the world we inhabit. Now\, with her second album arriving June 13th\, 2026\, Savannah turns tenderly inward. These honey-sweet songs with an Americana sound are of finding home\, stepping into motherhood\, and weaving community — threaded through with longing\, nostalgia\, grief\, and the quiet wonder of love in all its forms. \na place to call home (June 2026) is produced by friend and fellow musician Ben Larsen. After the many hours of devoted time working on this project\, the two of them are excited to be playing and singing together in person. \nBEN LARSEN \nFor over a decade Larsen has been performing up and down the west coast and nationally as a solo artist. He recently returned home to the Pacific Northwest after spending a year and half in New York City\, writing and producing his third studio record Clarity\, out fall of 2024.

SUMMARY:Sean Hayes / John Courage at Trout Lake Hall
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, August 19th\, 2026 \n$25 Advanced // $30 Day of Show6pm Doors / 7p ShowAll Ages \nSEAN HAYES \nSean Hayes is a San Francisco Bay Area-based singer-songwriter known for a unique\, gritty blend of folk\, soul\, and R&B-inflected roots music. His sound has been described as dusty\, warm\, and effortless\, featuring a gravelly\, soulful voice that blends intimate storytelling with danceable rhythms.  \nHayes has collaborated and toured with artists including Aimee Mann\, Frazey Ford\, Charley Crockett\, Jolie Holland\, The Wood Brothers\, Ani DiFranco and The Cold War Kids among many more; his work has been remixed by house DJ Mark Farina and featured on NPR\, NBC and HBO. Known for his raw vocals and timeless songs\, Hayes has built a loyal following across the country\, whether stripped-down or with a full-band\, his shows are simply a night of good music. \nJOHN COURAGE \nJohn Courage has been honing his skills as a songwriter\, guitarist and producer for over 10 years in the music communities of Northern California\, with stints in the Pacific Northwest and the high desert of Santa Fe\, New Mexico. With a flair for vintage inspired rock and roll that takes cue from the Texas singer songwriter scene of the 70’s\, John Courage creates a sound that at once feels familiar yet urgent. \nNew styles blossom and are assimilated into the songbook\, and currently John Courage performs as a solo songwriter\, or a raucous\, guitar driven trio or quartet. \nWith four self produced full length albums to his credit\, and guitar credits on many other records\, along with touring work on bass and lead guitar\, John Courage now expands into the role of producer with the addition of Gremlintone Studios\, a fledgling analog based production focusing on live recording.

DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, August 20th\, 2026 \n$15 Advance // $20 Day Of Show6pm Doors / 7pm ShowAll Ages \nBART BUDWIGBart Budwig is a son of Idaho\, a cosmic country crooner\, a rousing trumpet player\, and cryin’-style soul singer. His music is made up of seemingly incongruous parts; thrum & strum country rhythms\, jazz guitar melodies\, R&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’s a melancholy rhapsody that recalls the uncorked rock n’ 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. \nLike those psycho-spiritual song crafters\, his power comes from vocal idiosyncrasies – intonations of love\, impermanence\, hope\, humor. The album opens with Budwig originals “Time For Two”\, “First To Go”\, and “Strong Coffee”– 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. \nThere is what the Romans called a “divine lustre” 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’d sooner tell you a joke than reveal to you he’s recorded dozens of albums and hundreds of songs in the last few years. Bart’s mastery of dramatic irony turns his work with complex emotional states of being into comforting\, uplifting\, relatable music. \nIt’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’s this juxtaposition that makes Another Burn On The AstroTurfanother success for Bart Budwig\, and a must listen for you. – Sean Jewell \nBRYAN JOHN APPLEBY \nBryan John Appleby has been writing\, recording\, and performing original music for almosttwo decades. Based in Seattle\, his folk-centric body of work incorporates breezy mid century pop\, intricate fingerpicking\, lush cinematic layers\, and lyrics that often evoke hisCentral Coast origins. \nHis latest full-length\, Underwater Easy Breathing\, exemplifies his distinct productionpalette. Oceanic and synth-laced\, the album is a natural next step in his wandering\, oftendensely layered repertoire. Previous works include The Narrow Valley (2015)\, a maximalistconcept album drenched in dreamy\, orchestral elements and experimental sounds\, andFire on the Vine (2011)\, a darker collection with more conventional folk structures andorganic instrumentation. \nWith a house show tour circuit taking him throughout the Western States\, Appleby has shared the stage with artists such as Damien Jurado\, Deep Sea Diver\, Tomo Nakayama\, YLa Bamba\, Shaina Shepherd\, Dean Johnson\, and Sera Cahoone and many others.
