Every Sunday night 6-8… ALWAYS FREE
3/8 – Hillfolk Noir – Roots – Boise, ID
Hillfolk Noir can blow the roof off the place, or draw you around the fire with their earnest musical narratives of the back alleys, the open range, and the front porch. They paint with sound the earnest stories of lovers and law-breakers. You can expect a bevy of acoustic instruments and a ton of songs.

3/29 – Michael Kirkpatrick – Americana – Denver, CO
Michael Kirkpatrick, a Colorado-based vocalist and songwriter blends elements of acoustic fingerstyle and folk rock to cradle lush songscapes in a fuzzy paradoxical blanket of sunshine and fog.

4/5 – hemlock & Lamplight – Alt Folk – Chicago, IL & Appalachia, VA
hemlock is the swamp-raised, “phone-fi” alt-folk project of multi-disciplinary creative force Carolina Chauffe, currently anchored between South Louisiana and Chicago, but more often on the highway. Doggedly DIY, they have toured nearly nonstop for the past few years, prioritizing non-traditional and alternative venue spaces such as house shows.
Born and raised in Virginia, creek-steeped in the foothills of Appalachia, Lamplight grew up taking long walks to make music in bands with his childhood best friends. After moving to the city and back again, and nearly a decade out of the spotlight, he returned to the practice of song, culminating in his debut featuring beloved NYC collaborators.
4/12 – BendreTheGiant – Indie Soul – Portland, OR
BendreTheGiant is the vessel for songs by vocalist/producer Ben Estrada. Last year saw the proper launch, with Estrada (whose resemblance to a certain wrestling star inspired the project’s name) bringing in outside collaborators and producers for the first time. This year, the project has moved rapidly: Touring the country, earning features in OPB and Willamette Week, and winning “Song Of The Year” at the 2025 Pacific Northwest Music Awards.
4/19 Matt Mitchell – Americana – Spokane, WA
