Mori Bio “Folk singer-songwriter, Mori is carving out a space in the indie scene with lyric-forward storytelling that centers emotional honesty and human nuance. In her words, “I write because if I didn’t, I’d be constantly mourning explanations I didn’t get to give, and apologies I didn’t get to hear.” Her writing was modeled after Leith Ross, Lizzy McAlpine, Searows and Jensen McRae, while artists like Olivia Dean and Eloise shaped her broader musical sensibility, and ear for feeling-first production. Kat Tracey Emerging musician Kat Tracey first arose onto the music scene in May 2024, with a signature sound that blends introspective lyricism and emotive storytelling, drawing influence from artists such as Olivia Dean, Holly Humberstone, and Tate McRae to explore the intersections of indie, pop, and alternative rock. She gained early traction with her song “Echoes in the Rain,” which resonated on TikTok and has since surpassed 40,000 streams. Based in the Northeast, Kat is backed by a diverse and growing fanbase across eight singles and a string of compelling releases, and her momentum continues to build as she works toward the release of her debut EP, releasing in 2026.

Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 8:00 PM Carrie Nation & The Speakeasy CARRIE NATION & THE SPEAKEASY (CNS) is a high-energy quintet from Wichita, KS, USA. The band, whose sound has been described as “…a stagecoach in overdrive” and “dark, psychedelic speedfolk”, has performed their signature blend of strings and horns across 49 states and 9 countries since 2007. CNS has built a solid grassroots following with their energetic live show and ability to fit on bills ranging from bluegrass to punk; rockabilly to ska. Thoughtful songwriting is delivered through dynamic arrangements and unconventional instrumentation. Throaty vocals glide over percussive guitar. Mandolin solos melt into blaring trombone lines at breakneck speed, while the upright bass and rock-solid drums churn out aggressive rhythms that carry the force of a Kansas freight train. Psychedelic soundscapes are punctuated by downright amphetaminic tempos and controlled cacophony. Anything but derivitive, CNS has developed a singular style that continues to bemuse newcomers and delight loyal fans. The band’s DIY approach has been evident in their self-recorded albums, self-published music, self-booked tours, and collaborations with local and regional visual artists. A live CNS performance is a loud, fast, sweeping journey to a brand new destination. File under: Dark psychedelic speedfolk/ thrashgrass/ experimental acoustic/ folkpunk for people who hate folkpunk.

Ondara ~ The Montvales

AGE RESTRICTION: Only Ages 21+ can purchase tickets for this show. NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM Ondara Every artist’s journey is a quiet revolution. For some, there comes a moment when Robert Zimmerman becomes Bob Dylan, when Reginald Dwight becomes Elton John, when David Robert Jones becomes David Bowie, when Ali Ibrahim becomes Ali Farka- it’s a moment, when such an artist leaves behind the comforts of history in search of boundless expression- a moment when they metaphorically move out of their home, stepping into the unknown, and surrendering to the wild embrace of their muse. This chapter of my journey mirrors that kind of transformation. My new band, The Jet Stone Conspiracy, is the culmination of my rebirth- It’s a surrender to the currents of free expression- an invitation to explore new realms of sound, movement, and poetry. The first mission of this new chapter is to come visit you with my band and share the songs from Tales of America, Tales of Isolation, and Spanish Villager No:3– all brought to life for the first time in a full-band setting. This will be my first time touring with a band– an invitation to experience with you the music that has led us to this point, in an expanded and dynamic form, and to hear the new material I’m exploring for the upcoming debut release of The Jet Stone Conspiracy. Much love,JS Spotify Website FaceBook Instagram Bands in Town YouTube The Montvales Born and raised in Knoxville, TN, Sally Buice and Molly Rochelson of The Montvales spent much of their formative years busking amidst the Elvis impersonators and musical saw players of the town’s Market Square, honing their uniquely boisterous harmonies and perfecting the art of people-watching. Some fifteen years later, the two are still at it-maintaining their study of the robust chaos of the commons as they tour the country playing their descriptive, textured songs on the self-described “feral outskirts of country music.” Their lyrics tackle everything from heartbreak to gentrification to abortion rights, pulling audiences in alongside their well-worn harmonies and nearly telepathic musical connection. In 2020, the Montvales recorded their first album Heartbreak Summer Camp in a living room. The stripped-down, DIY folksongs span their young adulthood, beginning in their teens and taking them through their mid 20s. Then, seeking a more polished, full-band sound, the duo recorded their next album Born Strangers at Sean Sullivan’s Tractor Shed Studio in Goodlettsville, TN, recruiting Nashville stalwart Mike Eli LoPinto (guitarist for Chris Stapleton, producer of Emily Nenni’s On the Ranch) to produce it. The record garnered them a dedicated cult following and has been featured by outlets such as Holler, American Songwriter, Twangville, and more.

His career took a major step forward in 2022, when he joined Matt Maeson on a nationwide tour and collaborated with artists Paris Jackson and Sophie Holohan.

His live performances continue to captivate audiences as he tours with country stars like Shaboozey and Dasha, all while staying true to his folk-inspired roots.

Kyndal has completed two US tours as support for both Wild Rivers and Darren Kiely. Most recently, Kyndal released “Wildflower”, a collaborate with Jon Foreman of Switchfoot. 2025 is filled with much new music to come!
