July 28: The Druthers with opening act Idea the Artist
The Druthers make heart-sweeping folk/pop with his-and-hers harmony. The magnetic Portland six-piece is defined by the unmistakable voices of their two lead singers. The pair is accented by a song-serving flurry of trumpet, piano, organ, guitars, drums and bass.

Idea the Artist is a Guatemalan-American singer, songwriter, painter and writer currently living in the Pacific Northwest. Her crystalline vocals soar over lush arrangements and captivating lyricism, creating vivid soundscapes rooted in a love of the mythic, triumphant and bittersweet.


Aug. 28: Haley Johnsen with opening act Erin Adkisson

Haley Johnsen, a musical maverick from Portland, Oregon, is a genre-bending artist with a career path that is uniquely her own. Influenced by iconic voices like Brandi Carlile and Bonnie Raitt, Johnsen’s vocals soar with soul in the worlds of alt-pop and Americana.

Genuine and gripping, sensual and powerful, Erin Adkisson has the extraordinary ability of turning into a completely unique instrument. Exploring healing and religious trauma with a whisper to wail, Adkisson lays herself bare.
