ORQUESTRA PACIFICO TROPICAL
Over the past decade, Orquestra Pacifico Tropical has built a reputation for explosive and exciting sets of electrifying, psychedelic cumbia. They’ve performed at music festivals around the Pacific Northwest, including Treefort Music Fest, PDX Pop Now!, Freakout, Lose Yr Mind, Soul’d Out, Biamp Portland Jazz Festival and more, with live shows that have been described as a “jubilant rhythmic frenzy” and “mind-altering”. OPT has been proud to share the stage at beautiful theaters and hails around the PNW with legendary acts like Ural Thomas and the Pain, Y La Bamba, Thee Sacred Souls, The Dandy Warhols, Edna Vasquez and many other incredible groups. Their third album “El Poder” will be released on June 19th, 2026.
On a gloomy Pacific Northwest weekend in November 2020, OPT started writing new material at a beach-side cabin for what would become their third full length album, “El Poder”. The cloudy, overcast mood of the coastal forest afforded obvious inspiration which could subsequently be heard on the demo recordings. A warm, inviting Living-room-session amongst close friends, truly allowed for spontaneous creativity and earnest musicianship at a crucial developmental stage in the album’s trajectory.
“El Poder” finds OPT continuing its traditional cumbia-centric path, while also delving into salsa, and psychedelic northwest-inspired sounds. “El Poder” is Orquestra Pacific Tropical at the height of their powers, satisfying the veteran listener as well as offering new sonic explorations and a wholy unique latin music experience.

MOUNTAIN GRASS UNIT
Hailing from Birmingham, Alabama, Mountain Grass Unit has rapidly emerged as one of the most electrifying young bands in modern bluegrass, fusing razor-sharp picking, fearless improvisation, and four-part harmony into a sound that feels both rooted and revolutionary. The quartet — Drury Anderson (mandolin, vocals), Luke Black (guitar, vocals), Josiah Nelson (fiddle, vocals), and Sam Wilson (bass, vocals) — first turned heads with their 2024 EP Runnin’ From Trouble, but 2025 proved to be their true breakthrough year. The band logged nearly 100 national tour dates, sold out over thirty headline shows, and delivered standout festival performances at Telluride Bluegrass, DelFest, Northlands, an d WinterWonderGrass.
Rolling Stone praised them as the “surprise show” of Telluride, while Saving Country Music declared them the “next big band in bluegrass,” with further national spotlight through exclusive live sessions with Paste, Relix, and No Depression, cementing their arrival on the national stage. Their momentum peaked during IBMA week, where they earned the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Momentum Artist of the Year award, a defining milestone in a year of exponential growth.
Now in the studio crafting their next full-length album, due late summer, and fresh off support runs with genre leaders like The Infamous Stringdusters and Kitchen Dwellers, the band continues to expand its reach. Along the way, they’ve shared stages with legends like Billy Strings and Greensky Bluegrass in a series of high-profile moments that underscore the respect they’ve earned from the genre’s leading voices. Mountain Grass Unit isn’t simply riding bluegrass’s current resurgence, they are helping steer it, staking their claim as one of the most vital and forward-looking young bands in American roots music today.

Whether with her full band or all by herself, listeners and watchers are treated to an authentic, funny, and honest storyteller performing her way into legendary status.
EMILY LOVE & THE HIGHLINERSEmily Love & The Highliners bring 90s country sparkle, honky tonk grit, and rock and roll edge to every stage they play.

Fronted by Emily Love, whose lyrics balance heartbreak and humor with an empowered perspective, the band pairs bright telecaster leads, driving rhythms, and pedal steel shimmer with choruses built for crowd singalongs. Their debut album, Heart of a Fool (2025), showcases their blend of classic country influence and modern personality.
Whether on a festival stage or in a packed dancehall, Emily Love & The Highliners deliver tight musicianship, contagious energy, and country songs that hit hard without losing their sense of fun.
