The songwriting partnership of Olivia Osby and Avsha Weinberg has faced serious challenges in recent years. Constant touring, a label split, creative frustrations, and an unhealthy attachment strained both their collaboration and their friendship-intensified by the turbulence of their late teens and early twenties. Eventually, they realized they needed to reconnect with their roots. Those roots lie in Atlanta, Georgia-among forests, DIY venues, punk communities, and Weinberg’s family basement-but also on the early internet. The band grew up on Tumblr and Reddit, in digital spaces that fostered real-world connections through concerts and shared passions. During the pandemic, they saw these spaces become commodified or disappear, leaving a void for genuine community. From that void, the Ugly Duckling Union was born. Presented by PCL Presents.

Asher White’s music is a complex and heartfelt reaction to the churn of our modern world. With tender intimacy and resounding anxiety, White takes a wide view through the lens of her own queer sexual politics and transgender identity; what does it mean to renew, to progress, to transform? What is lost, gained, or irreversibly altered? At 22 years old, White has developed a massive self-released discography: over a dozen albums since 2015, each one started the moment the last one was finished. New Excellent Woman is a distillation of these experiments and discoveries, a new achievement in songwriting that stands astride the cracks in the earth and lopsided ground. Songs jump between styles like a pubescent sex drive, all locked together by White’s ability to pull melody out of chaos. Presented by JOY. 18+

When it comes to Brennen Leigh, there is no question. Always and assuredly precise in her ability to craft country music of the highest caliber, her latest album - the uncompromisingly titled Don’t You Ever Give Up On Love - is packed full of playful earworms, tender tearjerkers and honky tonk quintessence that two steps straight to the heart. Offered as a declaration for the desperate, the titular track that opens the album was initially composed by friend and fellow musician Elijah Ocean, who had completed a portion of the song with Leigh in mind. “My immediate reply was ‘Don’t you dare finish that without me,’”says Leigh. Bright and blissful, the resulting co-write boasts a cinematic quality akin to the soundtrack of a countrified happily-ever-after ending. Nodding to some of the more cautionary cuts of artists like Loretta Lynn, Leigh quickly removes herself from a rubbish romantic relationship in stride on the pedal steel heavy “Dumpster Diving.” Although self-described as a “trashy little tune,” do not discard the wisdom earned from Leigh’s brief suffering by “settling for less than we deserve in love.” A lover of subjects tried and true to the genre, Leigh’s talents as a writer apply equally to songs of both the cheating and drinking variety. “This album needed one more country & western cheating song,” explains Leigh of the twangy “Tell Me.” Presented by PCL Presents.

Emerging from Merced, California, 60juno leads the Central Valley’s post-punk scene with feelings of heavy nostalgia through deep, dreamy melodies. Inspired by the 2016 surge of Southern California’s DIY indie-rock community in conjunction with the synchronous SoundCloud era of underground rap, 60juno came to life in the isolated bedroom of a lonely teen stuck in 2020 quarantine. Upon realizing that creating his own music wasn’t as far out of reach as he once thought, the independent musician became the driving force behind the bass, drums, guitar and vocals that can be heard on each of his tracks. 60juno takes the usual wistful, dreamy aspect of DIY indie-rock a step further into post-punk territory with heightened energy and rough, low vocals thrown on top. This merge has resulted in a blend of his own creation that sets him apart as he continues to establish a notable sound worth remembering. Presented by JOY.. This is an 18+ event

Gordi’s 2026 EP Nylon hit the charts before it was released. She recorded the body of work live-to-tape in a single afternoon - with no overdubs and no edits - and played the new songs to fans on her Australian tour, selling every single advance copy before the internet knew anything about it. Since her debut and sophomore albums Reservoir and Our Two Skins (2017 and 2020, Jagjaguwar), Gordi has built a devoted following on the strength of her songwriting alone - sparse, precise, and quietly devastating. She has performed alongside Bon Iver, The National, and Sam Smith, and collaborated with Troye Sivan and Julien Baker. Her third album Like Plasticine drew on her experiences working as a medical doctor during the pandemic. The record received an ARIA nomination and landed placements on NPR All Songs Considered, BBC 6 Music, and Sirius XMU, with billboards appearing in Times Square - culminating in live performances on CBS Saturday Morning and The Kelly Clarkson Show. Following a sold-out Australian tour, Gordi returns to the Uk in the Autumn.
