SUMMARY:Sean Rowe / Brother Bird
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, September 18th\, 2026 \n$23 Advance // $30 Day of6pm Doors / 7pm ShowAll Ages \nSEAN ROWE \nSean Rowe is an American singer-songwriter\, recording artist\, and forager whose music carries the weight of timeless storytelling. Known for his commanding voice and raw emotional presence\, NPR’s All Songs Considered praised Rowe’s vocals\, saying\, “He can just crush granite with that voice. It’s so powerful.” The Wall Street Journal described him as “as timeless as his approach\, recalling the ecstatic intensity of late-’60s Van Morrison and the stark subtlety of late-era Johnny Cash.” \nRowe has released five full-length albums and multiple EPs\, earning a reputation for songs that are both intimate and cinematic. His music has been featured across film and television\, including NBC’s The Blacklist and Parenthood. His song “To Leave Something Behind” became a breakout moment when it closed Ben Affleck’s 2016 film The Accountant\, going on to surpass 16 million streams on Spotify. \nBROTHER BIRD \nBrother Bird is the project of Caroline Glaser\, whose work blends intimate\, confessional lyricism with atmospheric indie textures. Drawing influence from artists like Mazzy Star\, Big Thief\, and The Cranberries\, her music sits in a space that is both soft and unflinching\, often centering on themes of imposter syndrome\, dissatisfaction\, and the complexity of being human. \nA Lodge In Miller County was produced by Glaser alongside Jamie Martens\, Owen Lewis\, and Andy Hull\, continuing a collaborative thread that has helped shape her evolving sound while maintaining the emotional clarity at the center of her work. \nAcross releases including her self-titled EP\, Gardens\, and Easy Does It Records debut Another year\, Glaser has built a catalog defined by vulnerability\, specificity\, and a distinct sense of voice.

SUMMARY:Cristina Vane / Kendl Winter
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, September 20th\, 2026 \n$20 Advance // $25 Day of5pm Doors / 6pm ShowAll Ages \nCRISTINA VANE \nMore than a mere practitioner of her craft\, Cristina Vane has a breadth and depth of serious musical skill compiled from countless miles across all kinds of geography. On her third studio album ‘Hear My Call\,’ the pairing of a lifetime pursuit and growing treasure trove of songs makes for a record that demands to be heard. \nBased in Nashville\, Tennessee\, her sound reflects and amalgam of experiences; born at the foothills of the alps in Italy and raised between Italy\, England and France\, Cristina’s half American – half Guatemalan heritage is as unique as her sound. She unapologetically blends her rock roots with her passion for pre war blues\, old time banjo\, country and bluegrass. Since her time busking on the Venice Beach Boardwalk and working at McCabe’s guitar shop\, this deft multi instrumentalist has sharpened her fingerstyle/ slide guitar and clawhammer banjo skills and merged it with crystalline vocals\, captivating songwriting\, and an entrancing stage presence to make for a truly exciting act. Cristina has an extensive touring history and has provided direct support for: Molly Tuttle\, Bob Weir\, Jerry Douglas\, Wynonna Judd\, Sam Bush\, Nikki Lane\, Town Mountain\, Duane Betts Rev. Peyton’s Big Damn Band\, Arlo McKinley\, and Willi Carlisle. She has been mentioned in Rolling Stone Country and NPR\, and was featured in the Bank of America ad for Ken Burns’“Country Music” documentary. She was an invited guest for Billy Strings’ String the Halls 3\, has appeared on Travis Book’s (Infamous Stringdusters) Happy Hour and at Portland Blues Festival\, Under the Big Sky\, Four Corners Folk Festival\, and Roosterwalk. \nKENDL WINTER \n“It is artists such as Kendl Winter who are able to produce music that is of their own modern time whilst having easily recognizable roots that date back many decades” – American Roots UK \nPrimarily known as one half of the Americana duo The Lowest Pair\, Kendl Winter is also a prolific collaborator and solo artist.Arkansas born\, Winter honed her distinctive blend of country\, bluegrass\, and lo-fi indie folk in the late 2000s as a member of folk-punk band the Pasties\, followed by stints throughout the next decade as part of bands like bluegrass quartet Blackberry Bushes\, Americana duo Southern Skies\, indie rock outfit It’s All Gotta Go\, and the afore mentioned duo The Lowest Pair. A multi-instrumentalist best known for her banjo playing\, Winter has recorded several well-received solo albums for Olympia’s K Records\, including 2013’s “It Can Be Done!”\, before joining the roster of Team Love Records for 2018’s “Stumbler’s Business”. \nWinter’s most recent solo album\, “The Banjo Mantras\,” was released in 2023 and was her first foray into highlighting her banjo prowess on an instrumental album.“The Banjo Mantras” demonstrates Kendl’s skillful explorations as a banjo player bringing forward an album of intricately textured instrumental compositions. Stemming from an improvisational approach Kendl termed her music “mantras” because of their repetitive and hypnotic nature.

SUMMARY:*SOLD OUT* Dean Johnson w/ Mama's Broke
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, September 25th 2026 \n$30 Advance // $35 Day of6pm Doors / 7pm ShowAll Ages \nDEAN JOHNSON \nWith 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. \nThe title partly stems from the playful way the Seattle-based singer\, songwriter and guitarist communes with his audiences at concerts. “I hope you’re not afraid to talk to me after the show\,” he’ll say\, sweetly\, before launching into “Death of the Party\,” the album’s seventh song. Centered on the “energy vampire” archetype — the exasperating windbag we’ve all encountered at some point — 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. \n“Words don’t come easily to me / I notice you don’t have that problem / It sounds to me you cannot stop them\,” 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. \nJohnson spent years tending bar at Al’s Tavern in Seattle’s Wallingford neighborhood. There\, he encountered folks of all stripes; and regulars enthusiastically murmured about his budding musical greatness — There’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. \n“‘Death of the Party’ is a great example of that\,” he says of the sociological experience of bartending. “Being in that environment\, lyrics did solidify. If I was working on a song\, it wasn’t unusual for some new aspect of it\, or a line that was too vague\, to suddenly come into focus.” \nI Hope We Can Still Be Friends is essentially an anthology that bridges Johnson’s earliest days as a songwriter with his present-day outlook and abilities. There are songs that have been in his setlists for years\, and others that will be new to fans. Each of its 11 tracks contains jocular social commentary or lovingly rendered affairs of the heart. The album’s songs about love and relationships offer another way to interpret its title: as a parting thought to an ex. \nLike all of Johnson’s cable-knit writing\, the title is a clever banner for the album’s dual nature\, the thing that binds its tragedy and comedy masks. Johnson explains that he didn’t set out to make a concept album. It’s a coincidence that about half of the album’s songs are a bit sardonic\, and the other half are more lighthearted. The singer playfully refers to the former as his “mean” songs\, which is why the album’s back cover is adorned with a warning that says “Beware of Dean.” \nLike John Prine or Kris Kristofferson’s country-adjacent sound\, devastating humor and economical profundity refracted through a barroom’s haze\, the album is filled with easygoing twang\, sad characters\, universal truths and the absurdity of everyday life. “Carol” recounts the numb consumption and dissipating cultural attention that is besieging America. There’s a search for optimism amid meditations on dying in a plane crash in “Before You Hit the Ground.” Romance that is best forgotten steers “So Much Better” — only Johnson could weave electroconvulsive therapy into a gentle\, chuckle-inducing missive on unbearable heartbreak. \nI Hope We Can Still Be Friends floats in a liminal plane between timely and timeless\, its minimalist instrumentation elevating Johnson’s affecting voice to new heights. Recorded at Unknown Studio in Anacortes\, Washington\, the record was produced by Sera Cahoone — the Seattle-based singer-songwriter Johnson describes as a “soulmate sibling.” Overdubbing took place at Seattle’s Crackle & Pop! \nFor the sessions\, Johnson assembled a small band of friends including Abbey Blackwell (bass\, backing vocals)\, multi-instrumentalist Sam Peterson and Cahoone (drums\, backing vocals)\, who created a familial tone on the already intimate album. I Hope We Can Still Be Friends\, with its sharp observations and stirring personal insights\, holds space for both intense reflection and emotional release. You may laugh\, or cry or both. In this sense\, the album is powerful medicine — a way to both expose yourself to and inoculate yourself against the ugly\, absurd\, existential and heartbreaking. At its core rests a basic truth that is often difficult to remember or accept: Happiness wouldn’t exist without sadness as its counterpart. \nOn his uncanny ability to so clearly see and then encapsulate humanity in all its messy glory\, Johnson offers this core memory\, drawn from his childhood on Camano Island in the Puget Sound. “I was raised on a bluff\,” he says. “I’m not trying to make it sound dramatic\, but I did have a sweeping view.” \nMAMA’S BROKE \nFor more than a decade\, Mama’s Broke\, the Canadian duo of Amy Lou Keeler and Lisa Maria\, have forged a style carried across landscapes rather than tied to one. Their forthcoming 12-song LP Reunion\, out August 28 via Free Dirt Records and Forward Music Group\, follows years in near-constant motion\, bringing their folk-without-borders approach to small clubs\, DIY spaces\, and everywhere in between. Winners of the Canadian Folk Music Award for Ensemble of the Year for their 2017 debut Count the Wicked\, their music is rooted in long days playing for passing crowds and traveling by foot\, as well as in the deep wells of folk lineage they’ve tapped into across Eastern Canada\, Appalachia\, Ireland\, and beyond. Their sound doesn’t belong to any one place so much as it passes through them\, grounded in the traditions that shaped it. \nThat foundation was built long before stages and studio sessions\, in traveling communities where music functioned as both currency and connection. The two met within a global network of musicians funding their way through shared songs\, carrying only what they could as they traded melodies and stories across the miles. Playing for hours at a time on the street demanded a repertoire that could hold attention and sustain emotion\, drawing them deep into traditional material and the discipline of close harmony. Over time\, the songs became a common language\, connecting what came before with the music they were making together. \nBuilding on their JUNO-nominated album Narrow Line (2022)\, Reunion reflects a world coming apart in plain sight\, tracing fractured communities\, the erosion of shared ground\, and the growing awareness that the systems we were taught to trust no longer hold or deliver the promises they were meant to keep. The songs don’t preach or prescribe; they reflect\, holding up a mirror and leaving space for something else to take shape.  \nRecorded just outside Nashville in Goodlettsville\, Tennessee\, Reunion features subtle contributions from bassist Paul Kowert (Gillian Welch & David Rawlings) and others\, adding depth without pulling focus from the record’s acoustic core. At its heart\, Mama’s Broke remains what it has always been: two voices\, intertwined\, both fragile and enduring. Reunion asks what it means to make something that lasts: not a place you’re from\, or even a place you return to\, but what you make together\, and how long it lasts\, if you tend to it. \nMama’s Broke are touring their new album in North America and Europe throughout 2026 and 2027.
