Blue Cactus, originating from the vibrant honky-tonk scene of North Carolina, has electrified their twang into folk, alt-country, and psychedelic rock. With critical acclaim for their three records, they’ve garnered a cult following for their introspective lyrics and blistering guitar work. 

NPR Live Sessions and Billboard feature their songs, while Paste, American Songwriter, and No Depression praised their ability to create “beautiful pictures of limitless possibility” in roots music. Their third album, Believer, is available now on Sleepy Cat Records.

Local opener Nature and Madness brings a collection of smooth, slowed-down songs with melancholy guitar licks and thoughtful lyrics.  

Join us for a lively evening of music! We’ll have a pop-up bar serving a delightful selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

"Here I Am", Nashvillian songstress Alice Wallace declares on her new album, released June 28, 2024, via Mule Kick Records. It's a title that hints at her deeply personal, confessional songwriting style, one that invites the listener to gaze at her beating heart as each intimate secret pours out, propelled by a powerful, expressive delivery that marks her as one of the true vocal talents of her generation.

Casii Stephan is a Tulsa-based singer-songwriter who weaves together elements of soul, rock, and folk-pop whose “gorgeously emotive voice inspires comparisons to alt-pop artists like Florence Welch and Fiona Apple with a writing style reminiscent of Carole King” (NPR). Casii’s live performance has received rave reviews from American Songwriter as a “knockout set of blues-funk and soul”. Casii’s highly anticipated Relationship Status EP, produced by Ben Tanner (Alabama Shakes, St. Paul and the Broken Bones), was released in September 2024 on Shamus Records to rave reviews. In early 2025, Casii performed her first international tour with stops in London and Ireland, where she was an official showcase artist at “Your Roots Are Showing”.
