AMYTHYST KIAH

The Rounder Records debut from Amythyst Kiah, Wary + Strange marks the glorious collision of two vastly different worlds: the iconoclastic alt-rock that first sparked her musical passion, and the roots/old-time-music scene where she’s found breakout success in recent years, including recognition from Rolling Stone as “one of Americana’s great up-and-coming secrets.” Along with tapping into the vibrant musicality she honed in part through her studies in East Tennessee State University’s Bluegrass, Old Time, Country Music program, the Chattanooga-bred singer/songwriter expands on the uncompromising artistry she’s displayed as a member of Our Native Daughters—an all-women-of-color supergroup whose Kiah-penned standout “Black Myself” earned a GRAMMY nomination for Best American Roots Song and won Song of the Year at the Folk Alliance International Awards.

Produced by Tony Berg (Phoebe Bridgers, Amos Lee, Andrew Bird) and made with esteemed musicians like Blake Mills, Wary + Strange arrives as a deeply immersive body of work, endlessly redefining the limits of roots music in its inventive rhythms and textures. With an unforgettable voice that’s both unfettered and exquisitely controlled, Kiah gracefully interlaces political commentary and personal revelation, ultimately offering a raw yet nuanced examination of grief, alienation, and the hard-won triumph of total self-acceptance.

We hope you’ll join us and bring a friend for some seriously talented Wednesday’s through the end of August.

PHUTUREPRIMITIVE, TOTEM & iLKO | $25
2022-07-07 20:15
“Music is medicine. Let’s go on a journey together”

PHUTUREPRIMITIVE

The moniker of Bay Area producer and songwriter Rain. Early childhood photos reveal Rain sitting at the piano plinking keys, grinning from ear to ear… a true sign of things to come.

The Phutureprimitive sound is mind melting sonic bliss. Lush melodies drift across intricate rhythms, groove heavy beats and warm, fuzzy bass lines. Often exploring a dark and dense palette, his music also manages to convey a sense of tranquility and beauty. Shimmering with cinematic qualities, his music ultimately speaks to the body, mind and soul. It’s often said that Phutureprimitive is his own genre.

The sound of Phutureprimitive has spread far and wide with performances From North and Central America, Western and Eastern Europe and Australia.

Rain is also the owner of The Phuture Producer Method. An online portal for courses for learning EDM production and Song Builder Kits.

TOTEM

Totem is the solo project of Boulder based producer, Phoenix Clay Michael. Phoenix has been playing eastern-style instrumentation for over a decade(tabla, doumbek, darbuki, didgeridoo, ric, native flute etc). With Totem, Phoenix explores the digital domain with rich melodies, psychedelic synths, and exotic instrumentation. Totem culminates these two passions into a modern interpretation of ancient instruments. The sampling style is deep and visceral. Blending sequences of thick bass and instrumentation with live production. Live production includes: Didgeridoo, vocals, synth, keyboard, percussion, and bass. Phoenix’s debut album with Totem is titled, The Bonfire of Life, and was written as a motion of solidarity with the native tribes of North America. Totem sees the immense potency that dance has for healing in our culture, and also sees the reverent nature of ancient and native style music. The ultimate thrill is fusing these two things into a continuous musical experience shared amongst listener and maker. Totem is humbled to bring thy dance medication.

iLko

iLko is a musician of 20+ years and a huge fan of cross-genre blending. His original tracks and DJ mixes demonstrate this unique style by creatively fusing contrasting elements and musical genres.

“I seek to elevate energy and positivity through what I choose to play and how I perform”.

Starting his music career iLko played in rock and punk bands in the 90’s as a vocalist and rhythm guitarist. His fluidity of moving from one instrument to the next has led to his ability to bring a variety of musical styles together to create dynamic and inspiring performances. iLko’s tendency to explore other instruments eventually brought him to his calling: the drums.

His songs range from down-tempo super-sexy soundscape styles to upbeat rhythmic dance songs that provide a positive vibe in any environment. He often will bring a live aspect to his performances through percussion, bass guitar, vocals and other live elements. He has shared the stage with artists such as: David Starfire, Random Rab, The Human Experience, Indubious, DJ Anjali, The Incredible Kid, BasssGhost, Nico Luminous, Global Ruckus and more.

As Central Oregon’s self-appointed “Rock And Roll Border Patrol,” The Substitutes have been defending our (and your) right to rock since 1996. For over two decades we have dedicated ourselves to honoring the tradition and integrity of what it means to be a rock band; Rock and roll is what we do. It is all we do. This means you are always guaranteed to receive an undiluted dose of 100% organic, USDA Prime, gluten-free, range-fed rock and roll; with no unpleasant side effects or aftertaste. Not too heavy and not too light, The Substitutes are as all-American as baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, Chevrolet and shelling out four bucks for vanilla chai latte.

Consisting of Eric Westeren (ex-Kentones) on guitars and vocals, Shawn Huff (Vulcans Never Bluff) on drums and vocals, Nick Dahl (Merlin, Hangar 52) on bass and vocals, and Don Hoxie (ex-Keeper and Fox) on guitar and vocals. In addition to being a great choice for your live entertainment needs, nine out of ten dentists recommend The Substitutes to their patients who chew gum. We’re not exactly sure why.

There are no substitutes for The Substitutes, so accept no substitutes (except, of course, The Substitutes).

THE SHINING DIMES

The Shining Dimes bring a fresh take to classic country music, leaving you feeling nostalgic and remembering what real country music is. Influenced by the greats like Patsy, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Dolly, The Everly Brothers, and Waylon Jennings, they’ll bring you back to another time. The Shining Dimes appeal to a wide age range: older generations remembering the music they grew up with, and young generations’ recent re-discovery of the magic of American country.

Bri, the frontwoman on lead vocals and rhythm guitar brings her fun energy to the stage drawing from her second generation country upbringing. You never know where her quirky, charming antics will take you during the show. Her husband Dylan holds down the low end on bass and singing backup with experience after attending Berkeley College of Music in Boston.

KC on lead guitar brings energetic licks and tasty texture to the band. When KC isn’t giving someone an American traditional tattoo, he’s probably writing a new song. Andrew is our man ticklin’ the ivories and resident multi-instrumentalist. When he’s not playing the keys, you can find him rippin’ a horn solo and rounding out the 3 part harmony. Did we mention KC and Andrew are brothers? In true country form, we’re lucky to have pedal steel aka the sad machine. The man behind the steel sits Jason. Don’t let his stoic cowboy demeanor fool you, this man has a heart of gold. His playing will leave you in a puddle on the dance floor. Last but certainly not least is the heartbeat of the band, Dayne, on drums. Owner and operator of the Firing Room recording studio, Dayne pushes the envelope in trying new, creative rhythms that aren’t always synonymous with country — an expert in his craft.
