Eloquently blending synth-folk, moody pop, club beats, and soaring vocal harmonies, Babes In Canyon crafts music that is eminently engaging and very much of the moment. Born of a spontaneous writing session during a winter storm blackout, the band wanderednaturally into the land of heavy beats, lyrics with an element of storytelling, and synth-folk instrumentation with a twist. Lush and astutely layered, what began as an exploration of the outer edges of Americana has evolved into a cohesive, enchanting artistic statement.With a spate of national tours, festivals, and live performances under their belt, songwriters Nathan and Sophia Hamer conjure up layered soundscapes, “looping keys, beats, percussion effortlessly in an electric, raucous live performance” (Atwood Magazine).Receiving praise from the likes of Under The Radar, Magnet, and Big Takeover,Babes In Canyon’s debut album “The New Loud” released in the fall of 2025. Genre-defying, expertly arranged, and profoundly catchy, Babes In Canyon stands ready to soundtrack your adventures -spontaneous or otherwise.

($25-$40 + DICE fees | 6:30pm & 8:30pm Shows) Named the youngest (and first female!) winner of Downbeat Critics’ Poll for “Rising Star – Vibraphone” in 2020, Sasha is returning to the Century Room with music from her latest release “Fantôme”.
Originally from San Francisco, composer, producer, and band leader Sasha Berliner began her musical journey as a rock drummer before discovering her passion for the vibraphone at Oakland School for the Arts. She moved to NYC in 2016 to study under Stefon Harris at The New School, a mentorship that profoundly shaped her artistic voice.
Sasha debuted on the NYC jazz scene at Winter Jazz Fest 2018, later performing at major festivals like Atlanta Jazz Fest. In 2019, she became the first U.S. recipient of the LetterOne “Rising Stars” Jazz Award, touring North America and releasing her acclaimed debut album Azalea, blending jazz, alternative, and political themes. Her groundbreaking work earned a nomination for JazzTimes’ “Best New Release.”
She has headlined global venues like Newport Jazz Festival and collaborated with artists such as Tyshawn Sorey and Cecile McLorin Salvant. Her second album, Onyx (2022), praised for its bold, analog-recorded compositions, topped multiple jazz charts. Currently a UC Irvine professor, Sasha continues to innovate with her new album, Fantome (2025), solidifying her as a leading voice in contemporary jazz.

W/ MEMORIALS
Canadian quartet Holy Fuck have always been happy to plow a distinctly lone furrow. Never ones to chase the limelight or hop on any genre-wagon that happens to be passing by, they’ve played by their own rules for the best part of 20 years and five albums. It’s for that reason that they’ve become one of the country’s finest and most influential exports, with their widescreen technicolour, crescendo-heavy and highly danceable sound often finding itself imitated, but never bettered.
Even after attracting mainstream attention thanks to appearing on the soundtracks to Breaking Bad, The Substance, Mr Robot, Chemical Hearts, Good Girls, Cheaters and Invincible (the latter producing viral hit ‘Tom Tom’), the band has continued to go against the grain in a cultural landscape that prioritises and lionises the safe and predictable over the marginal and single-minded.

From his childhood in St. Louis to the global blues-rock circuit, Mike Zito has always kept it real. He began playing guitar at age five and by his late teens was a fixture on the St. Louis music scene. For Zito, honesty, authenticity, and integrity aren’t just part of the brand—they’re the foundation. “I have nothing to hide; it seems my honesty is what people relate to most,” he once told Vintage Guitar.
Zito is a powerhouse in modern blues rock. He’s an artist whose gritty guitar work, deeply human songwriting, and magnetic stage presence have made him a defining force in the genre. From smoke-filled bars in St. Louis to major festival stages around the world, he has built a career on emotional honesty, fearless playing, and an unshakable commitment to the song.
In 2025, Zito claimed the Blues Music Award for Blues Rock Album of the Year with Life Is Hard, a deeply personal and sonically bold record that cements his place among the genre’s elite. The win followed his 2024 sweep, where he was honored with Blues Rock Album of the Year and Blues Rock Artist of the Year, reflecting both his creative output and his relentless touring schedule.
A lifelong road warrior, Zito has spent decades sharpening his craft onstage, channeling the sounds of classic blues, rock, soul, and Americana into something unmistakably his own. His live shows are equal parts fire and heart: searing solos, powerhouse grooves, and storytelling that invites audiences straight into his world.

W/ Service & Freezing Hands
THE DARTS (US), now based in Seattle, Washington, formed in 2016 with the goal of making great all-girl garage-rock noise, see the world, and have a fab slumber party every night. The four women threw on vintage black slips, kicked off their shoes, and set out on the adventure. In the first year, the band put out two self-produced EPs and signed with Dirty Water Records (UK), which then released the first full-length vinyl, Me.Ow (2017). Dirty Water then re-released the first two EPs as a second full-length vinyl, The Darts (2017). The band immediately went on tour with The Living End and Billie Joe Armstrong’s The Longshot, and soon found themselves on big European stages like Sjockfest, Cosmic Trip, and Roots n Roses.
In 2018, Jello Biafra signed The Darts to his label, Alternative Tentacles, released their first 7-inch, Bullet (2018) and then put out the third full-length record, I Like You But Not Like That (2018). The band supported their heroes The Damned on a US tour, performed on main stages at big festivals like Punk Rock Bowling, Hipnosis Fest and The Bash, and got placements on top tv shows like Peaky Blinders and reviews in top publications like Rolling Stone. During the pandemic, Vox hosted an Instagram Live session with over fifty thousand viewers. In 2022, The Darts released the EP Love Tsunami on Adrenalin Fix Music (France), toured it around the US and Europe, and performed on KEXP.
In 2023, Alternative Tentacles Records released The Darts’ fourth LP, Snake Oil, funded entirely by fans and co-produced by Jello Biafra himself. The band went on a 100-day European tour, with unique European editions of Snake Oil and sold-out shows in Madrid, London, France, and Scotland, plus appearances at top festivals Munster Raving Looney Party (Spain), Relache Fest (France), Festival Beat (Italy), Loungefest (Holland), and Muehlen Madness (Germany). The first pressings of Snake Oil sold out in both the US and Europe in less than two months and second pressings were rushed out on both continents during the tour.
While juggling the Snake Oil tours, the band recorded their fifth full-length record, Boomerang, with Grammy-winning producer Mark Rains (Hoover iii, Death Valley Girls) at Station House Studio in Los Angeles. Once again the album was released by Alternative Tentacles on different US and EU editions in the March 2024 – and again followed by over four months of touring in Europe, UK, and USA. The album catapulted the band into feature articles in Rock n Folk, Rolling Stone, and many other major publications, plus appearances on France 24 television, BBC radio, a live show at Barlinnie Prison in Edinburgh, and inclusion on many best of 2024 lists. During the massive tour, the band recorded two new singles in Lyon, France.
In 2025, The Darts will release the new singles in June on a compilation of early essential tracks, Nightmare Queens, on Adrenalin Fix Music and on an Alternative Tentacles split 7-inch with labelmates Tsunami Bomb. The band will head out on significant US tours with Dion Lunadon and SERVICE and perform at many more international festivals (Binic Blues Fest in France, BearStone Fest in Croatia, Relache Fest in France, Celebration Days Fest in France, Boneyard Fest in UK, LunaFest in Portugal, CornRock fest in Switzerland, Dollfest in USA, Tough Enough Fest in Belgium, etc).
The touring lineup for 2025 is Nicole Laurenne (lead vocals, organ), Lindsay Scarey (bass, backup vocals), Rebecca Davidson (guitar), and Rikki Watson (drums, backup vocals), plus an appearance by Heather Thomas (drums) in May. The band plans to go back into the studio with Mark Rains in August to record the next full-length LP.

**ABOUT A PARADE OF HORRIBLES**
It’s off to the races in the explosive eighth book in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series—featuring bonus material exclusive to this print edition.
As chaos and mass panic spread outside the dungeon in the wake of Faction Wars, Carl and Donut find themselves on the tenth floor, where they’re forced to compete in a surprisingly normal set of tasks. Well, normal for the dungeon.
Races. Get from point A to point B, and don’t come in last. After each race, they pick an upgrade for their vehicle and the track gets more challenging. It all seems a little too normal, a little too simple.
Ignore those strange glitches that are occurring with increasing frequency. Don’t listen to those whispers about what’s happening on the mysterious eleventh floor, something the system AI calls A Parade of Horribles. Nobody, not even the showrunners, knows what that means. Just that the AI has ominously dubbed it “a coming-out party for the ages.”
Everything is fine, Crawler. I repeat, everything is fine.
Carl hates that it’s business as usual. The rules of this floor have taken away his agency. That just will not do.
So Carl is planning a party of his own. It’s a plan so dangerous, so insane, he can’t even consult his friends lest the AI put a stop to it. Because if it goes wrong, it’s not just the end of Carl and Donut. No. The stakes are higher than they’ve ever been.
Includes part eight of the exclusive bonus story “Backstage at the Pineapple Cabaret.”
**ABOUT MATT DINNIMAN**
Matt Dinniman is a writer and artist from Gig Harbor, Washington. He is the author of the NYT bestselling Dungeon Crawler Carl series along with several other books about the end of the world.
He doesn’t really hate Cocker Spaniels, and he plays bass in one band.

JUNIPER DJINN
Clarinet dreamscapes amongst a sea of melodious waltzes, the billowing sounds of early American jazz, gypsy jazz, and Balkan folk music make up the core sounds of Juniper Djinn. This special evening, the duo brings their singular lens to the music of Hoagy Carmichael, one of America’s most beloved and enduring songwriters. Known for classics that sit at the crossroads of Tin Pan Alley, jazz, and American folk sentiment, Carmichael’s songbook is a natural home for Juniper Djinn’s sound. The duo’s originals reflect a familiar feeling of 30s & 40s nostalgia and timeless tunes ingrained deep within traditional American and European jazz. The duo is best known for their live performances in which they play an array of genres spanning across decades of time and regularly features other musicians from across the globe.
Singer, clarinet player, and rhythm guitarist Jessica Fleet is the main vocal of the group with a voice that has been described as an angel and a demon singing in harmony with her powerful vocals, dynamic vocal range, and deep growl. Famed Baby Gramps quoted her as his “favorite singer” and compared her to the great Bessie Johnson. “That voice is a force of nature and hearing it’s a bright balm shining like a birth cake emerging from a dark wood”. – Charlie Unhau
Multi-instrumentalist Bill Stoller is the other half of the duo with his incredible, studious guitar playing, rhythmic accompaniment, accordion and upright bass on the duo’s albums. With over a decade of experience playing in different bands and touring, Juniper Djinn brings a transformative atmosphere of sound and musicians with each and every show.

($30-$40 + DICE fees | 6:30pm & 8:30pm Shows) A centennial reflection on Miles Davis, one of the most transformative figures in twentieth-century music, led by acclaimed historian Ashley Kahn. From the cool restraint of Birth of the Cool through the modal innovations of Kind of Blue to the electric upheaval of Bitches Brew, Davis continually redefined the language of jazz, assembling forward-looking ensembles and reshaping the role of the bandleader as curator, catalyst, and disruptor.
Ashley Kahn:
Born in the Bronx and educated at Columbia University, Kahn has built a career documenting the inner workings of landmark recordings and the artists behind them. His work includes definitive books on Kind of Blue and A Love Supreme, as well as Grammy-winning liner notes for Offering: Live at Temple University and Miles ’55: The Prestige Recordings. His writing combines historical precision with close attention to the musical decisions that shaped these recordings.
This program situates Davis’s work within a broader musical and social context, examining how each phase of his career reframed improvisation, production, and audience expectation. Through Kahn’s perspective, the music emerges as a continuous process of reinvention. For this performance, Kahn will be joined by Jason Carder (trumpet) Morani Sanders (trumpet) Cameron Davidson (trumpet) Max Goldschmid (trumpet) Angelo Versace (piano) Colin McIlrath (bass) Arthur Vint (drums)
