Left on Tenth w/ Fox Walker – 21+
Left on Tenth is a 5-7 member indie/funk rock band based out of the PNW. Performing hundreds of shows a year, they have come to be a household name in their home city, Portland OR. In addition to performing high energy live shows, they consistently release music for their fans to stream at home. Their 2024 album “Sunup”, won BEST INDIE/ALTERNATIVE ALBUM at the PNW Music Awards for the year of 2024. “Left on Tenth knows how to ensure audiences have fun at their shows,releasing an array of sounds that you can’t help but dance to.” – Aaron Taylor – Local Fest Connects Fox Walker is an R&B/Funk band influenced by Silk Sonic, Louis Cole and Thundercat. The band formed in 2022 when Alex Maxfield (synth/lead vocals) and Jamie Maxfield (bass/ vocals) moved to the area and decided to funk up their lives. They met with Bee Dunlap (guitar/vocals) who was the missing piece to help the soul train leave the station. Through their groovy music, Fox Walker strives to spread their message of community, authenticity and self-confidence. This music is best served live with a side of dancing. Alongside regular members, Miles VanDusen (drums) and Chance Hargrove (keys), Fox Walker strives to collaborate with as many members of the community as possible.

Disiniblud – 21+
Nina Keith and Rachika Nayar were drawn to one another like mirror images or two sisters reuniting after a lifetime of separation. Four years ago, the artists met in Brooklyn’s two-block–by–two-block Maria Hernandez Park after fan-girling each other’s music online. Dishing about messy post-lockdown long-distance lesbianism, heartfelt investments in Buddhist and Hindu philosophies, and a shared high-school love of the Eternal Sunshine OST, the two found their surface similarities gesturing toward a deeper shared existential worldview.Their kinship—which Rachika describes originating from some “inner-child sisterhood place”—is the heart of their collaborative project Disiniblud and their fairytale-like self-titled LP via Smugglers Way. The two’s self-described “wordless conversation,” the album orbits such themes as mortality, reinvention through destruction, and sublimating fractured histories into music—all resulting in a work that suggests sweeping transformation can come from embracing old wounds with childlike wonder.The two LA-based artists meet on complementary but seemingly disparate musical grounds. On her 2022 breakout LP Heaven Come Crashing, Nayar departed from her usual ambient guitar in favor of maximalist synths, sub-bass, and flickers of Amen breaks. Her distinct fusion of post-rock and electronica earned her accolades as Pitchfork’s Best New Music, on several best of the year lists (The New York Times, Stereogum, Fader, GQ, Bandcamp, etc), and as the opening act on tour with M83. Keith, meanwhile, is best known for her self-trained approach to composition, as evident on her 2019 debut MARANASATI 19111 and its delicate medley of cello, piano, clarinet, and flute, used to explore a personal history marked by community tragedy and paranormal incidents. She expands into new territories on her forthcoming releases, like the single “Come Back Different” featuring Julie Byrne, by incorporating modular synths and intricate vocal arrangements with the help of various collaborators. Their combined artistic strengths exalt together on Disiniblud.

Dakota Theim, Spooky Boys, Katy & the Null Sets, River Gods – 21+
Dakota Theim: A songwriter with a gift for whimsical melodies, breezy productions, and introspective lyricism, Dakota Theim has been a mainstay on the Portland indie underground for years. His sound is largely inspired by the golden age of FM radio, laden with sunny harmonies and blissed out guitars. With his latest releases, he is exploring new sonic territory while musing on relationships, identity, and aging, resulting in some of the most endearing songs of his career. Dakota’s auteur-like qualities have earned him favorable comparisons to artists like Tame Impala and Mac DeMarco. He writes and produces all of his own material from his Portland home studio, often times being joined by live band members Ben Bilotti, Alex Werner, Jack Stringer, and Joseph Freeman to round out his recordings. Together, the band has hosted several sold-out shows in their hometown, and toured extensively across the Pacific Northwest. While his productions are often eccentric and whimsical, Dakota’s devotion to the craft of songwriting is what sets him apart. His songs are meticulously composed, full of left turns and moments of unexpected beauty. With a steady stream of new content expected for this year and beyond, Dakota finds himself on the verge of breaking out of his local scene and reaching a national audience. Spooky Boys: “They’re not very spooky.” Dripping wet guitars, relentless driving rhythm, and insatiable catchy melodies. Spooky Boys have quickly become the PNW’s favorite indie-surf rock band. The ‘Boys bring a fun and undeniable charisma to their energetic shows that leave crowds no choice but to dance along. Katy & the Null Sets is the long-time “solo project” of Katy Ohsiek, vocalist and songwriter of Portland disco group Foamboy. The project has taken many forms since its inception in 2015. Katy & the Null Sets has been a solo singer-songwriter act, a collection of iPhone voice memos, elaborate synth pop albums, a ukulele-drummer 2 piece, and now an indie-new-wave 5-piece band of jazz musicians. The unifying element over the years has been Katy’s melodies, lyricism, and unique song forms, which borrow from bossa nova, neo-soul, mid-2000’s indie rock, and modern americana. Currently, Katy & the Null Sets is a full band with regular shows in the Portland area and a new album coming soon.

Cyane (fka Dolphin Midwives) w/ Helen Spencer-Wallace, Stephanie Lavon Trotter – 21+
Cyane is the project of Portland experimental composer/producer, harpist, and singer, Sage Fisher. Through the lens of mythological water nymph, Cyane, she explores the impossible betweens and shadows inhabited by femmes – both currently and throughout western colonialist history – and the immense power inherent in our bodies, our breaking, our healing, and our transformation. Honoring and bringing to light the hidden intricacies of this ancestral balancing act, Cyane draws on influences from early choral music, pop, electronica, avant classical and R&B for a performance that dances between disguise and exposé. Helen Spencer-Wallace is a musician, dancer, and educator. She is haunted and beguiled by femininity, vulnerability, and avoidance in the role of the solo Western female pop singer. Her musical work messes with inconsistent and multiple selves, explicit deception, and plays in the overlap of experimental pop, drone, and noise. She is gratefully supported by her devoted studies in Western and Hindustani vocal music (in the Kirana Gharana lineage). stephanie lavon trotter is a composer, vocal-instrument and performer. she loops and layers her voice through electro-acoustic open scores and improvisation, creating expansive, fantastical and grotesque sonic paintings. https://www.stephanielavontrotter.com
