Open Mike Eagle

29 May 2026 - 31 May 2026

A member of California's Project Blowed collective with a whip-smart sense of humor, rapper Open Mike Eagle was born Michael Eagle II in Chicago. It was at the Southern Illinois University Carbondale that the aspiring MC became an RA, and after he met Hannibal Buress, the resident advisor and student became fast friends. Grad school took him to the West Coast, where he joined the Project Blowed collective along with the group Thirsty Fish. In 2010, he went solo on Mush Records with Unapologetic Art Rap, an album that featured college bud Buress along with left-field MCs like Busdriver and Serengeti. Rappers Will Die of Natural Causes followed a year later on the Hellfyre label; then he collaborated with producer Awkward and issued 4NML HSPTL on Fake Four in 2012. The Mello Music group released the aptly titled Dark Comedy in 2014, the same year that Eagle submitted a track to The Ron and Fez Show, which the satellite radio talk show duo soon picked up as their theme song. He stuck with Mello for 2016's Hella Personal Film Festival, an album recorded with U.K. producer Paul White. Solo effort Brick Body Kids Still Daydream followed a year later, with EP What Happens When I Try to Relax arriving in 2018.

ivri

1 Jun 2026 - 2 Jun 2026

Florida-born artist ivri builds the world she sings from-one shaped by D.I.Y. alternative, intense pop, shoegaze, rock, and sci-fi soul. Her emotionally raw writing and genre-blurring sound have earned billions of views, hundreds of millions of streams, and early praise from outlets like OnesToWatch. “I’m building a world for ivri,” she says. “It’s my real name, but also an identity I can observe from the outside. I love science fiction, fantasy, whimsy, and storytelling. Whatever you’re feeling-heavy, nostalgic, wronged-I have a song for it. I fit anywhere.” Raised in Daytona Beach, she grew up fast, helping care for three siblings with autism and developing the deep empathy that now informs her music. She once planned to become a mineral physicist or join the Air Force, but music eventually pulled her in. At 14, she was discovering Gang Starr and Sam Cooke alongside Twenty One Pilots, Bring Me The Horizon, and Deftones, and drawing inspiration from films and shows such as Steven Universe, Adventure Time, and the cult classic Killer Klowns from Outer Space. She began posting vocals online for fun-but everything changed when she heard her voice sampled on SadBoyProlific’s “Alone,” a future hit with nearly 150 million Spotify streams.

Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band

Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band

6 Oct 2026 - 11 Oct 2026

The Rev. Peyton's Big Damn Band bridges genres and eras with an intensity and effortlessness few contemporary artists possess. And their new album 'So Delicious' elevates the trio's work to a new level. Produced by Rev. Peyton, 'So Delicious' offers the band's most diverse collection of songs buoyed by the Rev.'s supercharged six-string virtuosity a unique style of fingerpicking inspired by his Delta blues heroes, but taken to new, original heights. The fifth full-length original album by the group which includes Breezy Peyton on washboard and supporting vocals and Ben Bussell on drums and supporting vocals is their debut on Yazoo Records, a label known for the historic reissues of blues and other old time American music that are the bedrock inspiration for the Rev.'s sound and approach. Yazoo was my favourite record label growing up, he explains. For fans of old country blues and all manner of early American music, they are the quintessential label. And for me, it's like being on the same label as Charley Patton and 'Mississippi' John Hurt. To think that Yazoo believes we are authentic enough to stand with the other people in their catalogue means a lot. The Rev. Peyton's Big Damn Band has always been strong on authenticity, playing music that blends blues, ragtime, folk, country and other traditional styles with the sleek modern energy of do-it-yourself, homespun, punk fuelled rock. And performing tunes plucked from their lives, their community or from the canonical songbook that fed the Rev. Peyton's formative creative identity. It's a mix that's allowed the band to win fans from all corners of the Americana and rock worlds, and bring a new generation to blues and other forms of American roots music. Some listeners also have a hard time believing all of the Rev.'s extraordinary guitar performances are recorded live with no overdubs until they see the Big Damn Band in concert. Pot Roast & Kisses is a radiant example of his nimble style; weaving two melodies, thumb plucked bass lines and bright decorative filigrees into a graceful, upbeat blend. The rocking electric juggernaut Let's Jump a Train is another. The song's lyrics explore the notion of courageously pursuing adventure a frequent theme in the lives and the songs of the Rev. Peyton's Big Damn Band while the Rev. bangs out a machine-gun rhythm with his thumb, ladles in generously sinuous licks and tosses off seemingly effortless fills and accents, then solos and plays the beat simultaneously. When people hear 'So Delicious' and see us play live, I think they understand that what we're singing about is real to us, the Rev. says. We believe in the stories we're telling and in the way we play. And when we're on stage or off, there's nothing fake about us. We are what we do, and I'm proud of that.

Jon Gomm

Jon Gomm

8 Oct 2026 - 23 Oct 2026

Jon Gomm, based in Leeds, West Yorkshire in the UK, is an acoustic singer-songwriter with a revolutionary virtuoso guitar style, where he uses one acoustic guitar to create drum sounds, basslines and twisting melodies all at the same time. The emphasis is still on the soulful vocals and songwriting, and his original material is influenced by everything from Robert Johnson to Radiohead. His live shows combine deeply personal performances and a natural wit, with a once seen, never forgotten two-handed guitar style, both physical and complex, producing sounds people can barely believe are coming from a humble acoustic guitar. Jon first laid his hands on a guitar at the age of two (actually it was a ukulele - his parents couldn't find a guitar small enough). He wrote his first song at the age of six, and was soon accompanying his father, a music critic, to gigs in his hometown of Blackpool. Touring musicians would often stay at the Gomm household on the understanding Jon would get a guitar lesson, meaning he had one-to-one instruction from such blues legends as BB King and Jack Bruce of Cream. Nowadays, Jon tours worldwide. In January 2012 his song Passionflower went viral online, with the video passing 6 million hits, resulting in national TV appearances in the UK, Portugal, Holland, Brazil and Turkey.

He also mentored Tasjan, advising him that a musician never has to be defined by one sound or genre. This principle has helped shape Tasjan's work. In 2013 Aaron moved to Nashville to focus on songwriting and a solo career. He has since released 2 EPs, "Crooked River Burning" and "Telling Stories to the Wall. His debut full-length effort, In the Blazes, was released in 2015.

His new record, Stellar Evolution is a record with songwriting beholden to nothing no expectations, and certainly no genre.

From synth thrill rides like Alien Space Queen and Horror Of It All, to the woozy The Drugs Did Me, and the balladic Dylan Shades, these songs track Tasjan's sonic shifts, and share personal moments of overcoming challenges and embracing change; for the world, they are universal in appeal and inclusive in intention.
